Walking droplets show quantum-like behavior on a vibrating fluid

MITMathLab · Demo · YouTube title: The pilot-wave dynamics of walking droplets
Why it's here

Cited in pilot-wave theory threads as a vivid visualization of how quantum-like behavior can arise in a classical system.

What it covers

A short MIT Math Lab video showing millimetric droplets bouncing and walking across a vibrating fluid bath, guided by their own pilot waves. These droplets show diffraction, tunneling and quantized orbits, which were once thought to belong only to quantum systems.
