Often, when physicists talk about particles, they classify them in two fundamentally different classes: fermions and bosons. But, outside of name, what's the difference between these? How different can particles really be?

As it turns out, the answer to this question comes from how the wavefunctions of systems change when exchanging two identical particles. This small difference has huge consequences in the physics of the two different types of particles.
