A guest post I wanted to host because I find it so worthwhile.
This is an introduction to a chapter in my book series
There are 4 completely different double slit experiments which yield 4 different results thay have absolutely nothing to do with each other.
There are 16 possible combinations of outcomes for the double slit experiment(s) and none of them depend on a particle-wave duality or a literal mass to energy interchange.
In Book 1 on Light, I go into great detail on all the different combinations of results and how they are produced.
There is no real-world observer in the experiment at all like how cartoons and textbooks depict. There is no human looking at the experiment and flipping the patterns from observation.
They either send a spherical wavefront through the slits to produce 2 bands of light.
Or they send a plane wavefront through the slits to produce an interference pattern.
But that interference pattern only shows up with they have the 2 slits within the diameter of the laser beam, so the beam of the laser shines through both slits simultaneously. And that causes secondary re-emissions of light with overlap the initial light. Primary light from the laser shines on the slits. But the edges of the slits themselves will re-emit new light which then overlaps to make the pattern.
The slits are about 2μ to 5μ apart.
Then you have the particle patterns.
They use a tungsten filament like a light bulb. The filament glows red hot at 4000˚F. That is inside of a black box that sits on a table top.
The tungsten filament gets so hot that it starts shooting off electrons wildly. The filament becomes a "thermionic heat source". It shoots off particles wildly like how a nuclear material shoots off particles. Just not as dangerous. But the particles that are shot off of the filament... they fly through the 2 tiny slits inside that closed box. It's like marbles shooting out of a cannon at a constant. And that produces 2 bands of particles on the detector screen inside the closed box.
Then you have the particle interference pattern.
That is made from focusing those wildly shooting particles from the 4000˚ filament using a magnetic lens. It's an electromagnet that focuses the charged particles into a beam just like the laser. But this is a particle beam. And again... the 2 slits need to fit within the diameter of that beam which is about 100 nm apart.
The electrons from the collimated beam shoot through both slits at the same time... but those primary electrons hit the edges of the slits. And the slits are made of atoms. So it induces secondary electron emissions from the edges of the slits themselves. And those secondary electron emissions overlap the primaries and they create the particle interference pattern on the detector screen.
But then they have a sensor inside the closed box. And all they do is remotely block 1 of the slits with the detector which then prevents the secondary electron emissions from making it to the screen.... and THAT is what they say is the "observer"..... All they do is block the damn slit and it changes the pattern distribution over time as the particles accumulate.
NONE of that has ANYTHING to do with some mythical particle-wave duality. There is no observer!!
All they do is fabricate and lie in What the Bleep Do We Know, Flatland and Down The Rabbit Hole.
They claim the observer is just an "oversimplification."
But there is no observer! They just block the slit itself with a detector and sensor. That's it.
And then they claim the patterns of light shift back and forth with particles.
It's FOUR different experiments!! And then you can do the experiments in combinations if you have a sophisticated enough set up (which has never been done!)
But there are a total of 16 possible combinations of particle pattern and light pattern distributions.
Actually 15 combinations, but the 16th is not performing the experiment at all.
At what point does an "oversimplification" just become a flat out lie and fraud?
People are allowed to continue to believe a mythical flipping of particles and waves, or that mass is bundles of energy beyond the Planck scale... or that observation manifests reality.
It's junk "Psyence" all based from relativity insisting the speed of light is the same to everyone no matter what.
So they invented the concept of the 4th dimension, space-time, particle wave dualities, that mass literally increases with acceleration or velocity...a literal interchange of mass to energy/ vice versa ... and QED was born from those fallacies.
The same observations and results can be explained using ONLY classical physics, Hamiltonian and Newtonian Mechanics... but under "a new light"... literally.
