There was some stupid trend of tiktok of people being confused by it
I see this as many people are curious of why this happens which leads to the eagerness to learn about optics, and I wouldn't call that stupid.
This is exactly the type of experiment that engages students and ingrains the phenomenon to their memory.
It wasn't an experiment. The creators just feign stupidity to generate engagement. I wouldn't mind if they used it to teach how optics or light work .
Beware of adding a double slit to the paper and aiming the laser between the slits, weird things might happen.
That’s a great idea!
