The Young's slits/double slits series of experiments (which I summarised in the other thread yesterday) is an interesting example of how an experiment can appear to support one hypothesis (viz. light propagates as a wave, not as a stream of particles) initially, but after refinement & the availability of new measuring apparatus ends up supporting a different one (wave/particle duality). Even experimental facts are only applicable in the context in which they are obtained.
