Pilot wave

Imagine you're playing with a toy boat in a bathtub. When you push the boat, it moves in a certain direction. But have you ever wondered WHY it moves in that direction? Well, there's actually something called "pilot wave" that helps explain this.

Think of pilot wave like a map that helps guide the boat. When you push the boat, the pilot wave is also pushing the boat in a certain direction. This wave is invisible, but it affects the way things move. It's kind of like how wind affects the way leaves move on a tree.

Scientists use pilot wave to help them understand how particles (like atoms and electrons) move in the world around us. Just like the toy boat, particles are affected by an invisible wave that guides their movement. This wave is called a pilot wave.

Scientists are still learning more about pilot wave, but they think it could help explain some really cool things about the universe – like why light behaves like both a wave and a particle at the same time!
