In english, The photon is not a point, only when it hits something does it act like a point, as it only hits one point. A photon is a weird fuzzy thing that is mostly here, and partly here and over there, but a little bit everywhere else. It interferes with itself because it squeezed through both holes, and because it squished itself through both holes, it’s shape (places where it mostly and partly was) changed, and so there are some places that it is more likely to hit, and some places that it can’t hit.

Beautiful.
