Let me sum things up: Conventional wisdom: if there is a "macroscopically significant interaction at either slit" the wave collapses down to a particle which appears to go through only one or the other slit and the interference pattern disappears. I have no trouble with the wave itself...
The background fields are not the only problem. When the experimenters put a sensor at one of the slits, the interference pattern disappears. The sensor must have an effect on the wave/particles going through the slit. How can they do that without invalidating the test. Also the particles...
A. There is no experimental means to know both the trajectory and position of particles at anyone point in time. The best scientists are extremely cautious. If something can't be proved experimentally, they don't claim that it is true, no matter how intuitive it might seem. When we look in at...
I am a computer programmer, mostly in Windows, but a little bit into open source, Linux and Java. I work a lot in javascript and SQL of one kind or another, both of which are utilized somehow via all common platforms.
I am also interested in music, physics, and chemistry. I play piano and...
