Reality will surprise you.

published his wave theory of quantum mechanics which showed that particles could be described by an equation that defined their waveform; that is, it determined that particles were actually waves.

Essentially, you will measure it as a particle or a wave, and doing so decides what form it will take. When the waves cancel each other out, as when a peak hits a trough, the effect neutralizes the wavelength and diminishes or even eliminates the light, producing the blacked-out spaces in between the blue bars.

In practice, this means that somehow the universe"knows" that someone is watching and flips the metaphorical quantum coin to see which slit the particle passed through.

First, Young established that a pair of waves were subject to interference when they overlapped, producing a distinctive interference pattern. While it might be a stretch to say that you can use the double-slit experiment to demonstrate some of the more counterintuitive features of quantum mechanics , you can still use it to demonstrate the wave nature of light.

To accurately diffract sunlight using this box, you will need to have the sunlight more or less hitting the double-slit card dead on, so it might take some maneuvering to get it properly positioned.
