I just recently started studying things on the quantum level, I seen an experiment where they shot a beam of light through a hole and it appeared in many places, but when they observed in or something like that. It only beamed through one hole, can someone elaborate more on what that is and what is causing this to happen?

You should probably start with the Wikipedia article about the double-slit experiment, and then ask more specific questions.
 

Thread 'Is a table levitating possible, even at a minuscule probability?'

I am not sure if this falls under classical physics or quantum physics or somewhere else (so feel free to put it in the right section), but is there any micro state of the universe one can think of which if evolved under the current laws of nature, inevitably results in outcomes such as a table levitating? That example is just a random one I decided to choose but I'm really asking about any event that would seem like a "miracle" to the ordinary person (i.e. any event that doesn't seem to...
