I’ve watched the explanation of the “Dual Slit Experiment” like 100 times. I understand the words they are saying, but I still don’t understand how it’s possible.
I was kidding around in my post #6, but I taught college physics for a few years. One thing about modern physics. You’ve kinda have to suspend common sense, and go where the evidence takes you.
Consider, for example, a moving object, any moving object. The faster it goes, the more mass (weight) it gains. Einstein worked the math out back in 1905. But it just doesn’t make sense. And it’s not noticeable for the slow-moving objects were familiar with.
But experiments have since proven that Einstein was right. Fast-moving electrons have more mass than slower ones. And by just the amount that Einstein predicted.

It is a fascinating and weird experiment, which shows are current models don’t yet provide a good explanation of what is going on in the physical world.
It’s the weirdest thing, isn’t it? If a detector detects which slit a particle goes through it comes through in a pattern, but if the particle goes through the slit undetected it goes through as an interference particle.
If the detector is randomly turned off, the particles will appear as waves, but if it’s randomly turned on the particles will appear in a coherent manner.
How do the particles “know” they’re being measured??
It’s sooo weird!
