“Because I’ve offended enough people for one day.”
Maybe we offended Steve? In never sourced his exact quote but found similar. Careless writing by website “science editors”.
Oh well. I didn’t understand his point at first but then it struck me. But yes, diffraction matters.
“The single slit shows no interference with the nonexistent other slit, which of course it can’t. That’s no mystery.”
The subject of my response to Steve was that single slit patterns was wave behavior. I only added the statement about interference to show that was the difference he was seeing. Not that one was particle.
Yes to be fair a single slit will not show an interference pattern. So one might think there is no wave function present but the experiment itself sort of eliminates anything that would produce an obvious wave pattern.

The single slit shows diffraction. No reason to think there is no wave function present. That IS a wave function. Basic 8th grade science.
Yes, but nothing so obvious as with two slits.
“Yes, but nothing so obvious as with two slits.”
Just as obvious. The diffraction pattern can’t be missed.
Easy Peasy. Good article.
great article!!
“Mass, as far as we could tell, was truly a conserved quantity. But once we uncovered the laws of special relativity, we realized that mass, alone, simply couldn’t be the ultimate conserved quantity. “
In a closed system mass is an ultimate conserved quantity.
