However, you should take the time to explain with less words. <br /><br />Size matters. “Micro” must be magnified to be studied, “macro” can be observed with bare eyes. Quantum particles is interpretations in models, indirectly measured and calculated based on experiments. (Humans can only see large groups of photons.)<br /><br />Micro dust bits may wiggle in waves able to make interference patterns if it was possible to make and sort out identical dust bits and run them through some special slit system. On the other side, it may not be the case, because large collections of internal randomness in all directions is chaos: “Mono-chromatic light source” as typically used in basic experiments, is organized. (In addition one may rather speculate on why most we observe have a tendency of ever so little unbalance in its otherwise quite predictable probabilities. It’s like such an unbalance is what makes randomness in the first place.) Personally, and without any proof, in my imagination I see moving knots of waves - it be a photon or atom - surrounded by a field. Slits disturbs the fields, and the question of “which slit” makes no sense. Science shouldn’t be allowed ask the same question for another 100 years, and also admit that blocking a slit is not the same as taking a measure.<br /><br />In the double and single slit experiments, observations are taken all the time, and these can be noted as measurements to be analyzed. In its simplest forms visible for anyone as variances of patterns by a laser beam on their own kitchen wall.Erik SBnoreply@blogger.com
