Bond lengths in Benzene

[CurryBoy]

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data

Why are all the carbon-carbon bonds are the same length rather than alternating lengths? all help appreciated :)

2. Relevant equations



3. The attempt at a solution
I researched it and all i discovered is that each bond lenght is the same in Benzene, but i never found out why?

What do you know about benzene? Have you heard about aromaticity? Conjugated bonds?
