Is the Double Slit Experiment about the Nature of Reality or the Nature of Perception?

Ken Levi

The famous Double Slit Experiment (DSE) changed our concept of reality. It led to the view that the basic building blocks of matter and energy can take the form of either waves or particles, and what makes the difference is whether or not they are observed. As Niels Bohr concluded, “Until we’re conscious of something, it doesn’t exist.” A new theory of consciousness, however, suggests a different interpretation of the DSE results. The theory of the Holographic Mind (HM) contains many of the same elements as the DSE. In particular, the HM describes how observation converts wave patterns into 3D images. This suggests that the same DSE dynamics which led researchers to upend our notion of reality, might be less about the nature of reality, than about how we derive information about reality; that is, the nature of perception.

Quantum behavior in the Double Slit Experiment and the limitations of the equipment used.

Ernest Heinz

Abstract: Many problems exist in the Double Slit Experiment when you consider that the elements in the test are moving as waves. Outside of the pattern resembling peeks and troughs that overlap each other; there is no real scientific explanation on how this is taking place. In a more accurate and classical way, can we explain how the dark and light areas of the interference pattern are being made? Why is an Interference pattern being made when particles are being sent through the exercise one at a time? And how is it that through observation the Interference pattern collapses in on itself. Waves add more questions than they do answers, a very typical outcome of an incorrect solution. Maybe the unanswered questions left behind by the wave theory is a confirmation of its inaccuracy and not the mystique of its results. Rather than double down on the wave theory with time traveling particles, elements of duality, and the Copenhagen Interpretation; l reconsidered that elements tested in the double slit experiment behave as particles. But this time, I weighed the thought that these bits of matter are much smaller than previously thought. This new logic allowed particles with straight trajectories to interact with the edge of materials used in the double slit wall in a very detailed way. This created a storm of new ways to look at what is really taking place in the test; revealing the competence of the detectors utilized and the capacity of the Nonlinear Optical Crystal. Everything solved from just one idea, that quantum move as particles but on a much smaller scale. This is the enigma of the Double Slit Experiment.

Complementarity in the Double-Slit Experiment Revisited

Hiromichi Nakazato

Einstein's version of the double-slit interferometer is reexamined by taking into account possible degrees of freedom of the detector. This can be considered as a natural generalization of an earlier attempt by Wooters and Zurek, however, it is found that in this approach a new element which is directly related to the uncertainties of physical variables appears and that it affects considerably the visibility of the interference pattern. Thi fact turns out to be a quantitative realization of the complementarity principle in quantum mechanics.
