Others have explained what the experiment is so I won’t repeat their answers. 

It’s a big thing because it means that things aren’t as simple as balls bouncing off each other. So we had to change our ideas from the classical version of matter, and that led to new ideas and methods.

This was controversial not too long ago, scientists who came up with other amazing and correct ideas about how the universe works couldn’t accept it at first, so it was kind of an argument where the smart people took sides.

There really isn’t any argument anymore though, you can do the experiment yourself at home with a laser pointer and smoke.
