Light cancels light out... Okay, so this creates nuetrality? How is it a contradiction?
You really should watch the videos. The point is that light, which is thought of as a particle, interferes with itself in a double slit, EVEN IF you fire a single photon. However, if you detect the photon, it will NOT interact with itself in this way. If you check the state of the photon EVEN AFTER it has passed the slit, it will still get the same results-- wave if not checked, particle if detected.
This is explained by a superposition of states-- the light is both a particle AND a wave (and kind of neither): it is an unresolved function until that function is collapsed by something outside the photon.
So let me refine my search words, since you missed that it was about light. Search: "photon double slit experiment" and "quantum eraser."
