Summary

Description
English: Interference is at the heart of Quantum Mechanics. It is the phenomenon of the peaks and toughs of waves interacting resulting in an inference pattern. It is at the heart of particle physics, superconductivity and even the nature of all the physical elements. Here it is demonstrated by an insect making two sources of waves with its legs. Where they overlap inference is seen.
