Thought I would start 2011 off with:
The Double Slit Experiment which is well known as The Most Beautiful Experiment of All Time.
As is stated at Wikipedia:
"The most baffling part of this experiment comes when only one photon at a time is fired at the barrier with both slits open. The pattern of interference remains the same, as can be seen if many photons are emitted one at a time and recorded on the same sheet of photographic film. The clear implication is that something with a wavelike nature passes simultaneously through both slits and interferes with itself — even though there is only one photon present."
