fluid dynamics - Can silicon droplets bouncing on a vibrating surface be a model for Quantum Mechanics?



In



it is claimed that silicon droplets bouncing on a vibrating surface show behaviour in analogy to particle/wave duality in Quantum Mechanics.


Is this true? Did they really reproduce the double slit experiment (the video doesn't show that)? And what happens to the silicon droplets on a single slit? What about Quantum tunneling? Which effects of Quantum Mechanic can be "emulated" with bouncing silicon droplets and which can't?

classical mechanics - Moment of a force about a given axis (Torque) - Scalar or vectorial?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
