In just 10 days over the summer of 1854, 500 people died of cholera in the Soho neighborhood of London.

А получился интерференционный узор — значит, свет — волна».И меня зацепило не само противоречие (корпускулярно-волновой дуализм — это я уже слышал), а исходная посылка: «частицы летят прямо»....
