General Expanse Tension Theory (GETT) Resolves Young's Double-Slit Experiment Mystery

Abstract

GETT Resolves Young’s Double-Slit Experiment — J. E. Holland (2025)** This paper presents a complete physical resolution of Young’s double-slit experiment using the General Expanse Tension Theory (GETT) framework. GETT models all matter as localised excitations of a real, gauge-invariant scalar field Φ, and all wave-like behaviour as small propagating perturbations of this field, known as Expanse Tension Ripples (ETRs). These ripples are launched at the instant of particle emission and propagate at near-light speed. As two ETRs pass through the slits and interfere, they imprint a dynamic tension landscape into the Φ-field. The particle core does not superpose or interfere with itself; instead, it is continuously guided by the local tension gradient generated by the interference of the real δΦ waves. Note: The ETT / GETT framework and theory was developed to address macro-scale cosmic anomalies, galaxy rotations and late time accelerations, this paper simply applies the framework previously developed to this new application. The result is a deterministic, mechanistic explanation of the double-slit experiment that reproduces all key observations traditionally attributed to quantum wave–particle duality. The guidance mechanism emerges from the Φ-field’s density-dependent tension and operates smoothly across time: as the ETR interference pattern forms and sharpens, the particle experiences corresponding changes in the local tension slope, steering it toward regions of lowest tension. Across many single-particle events, this produces the observed statistical fringe pattern without invoking wavefunction collapse, superposition of particle trajectories, or any probabilistic interpretation of the particle itself. The paper includes: A full historical analysis from Hooke, Huygens, and Young to modern single-particle interferometry. A detailed explanation of Φ-field dynamics and the origin, propagation, and interference of ETRs. A time-resolved account of how the particle is guided by evolving tension gradients. A comprehensive 12-phase sequence describing the complete physical process from emission to detection. A mathematical core (Appendix N) giving the field Lagrangian, δΦ wave equation, tension structure, and force law. A simulation appendix (Appendix Q) demonstrating numerically that Fresnel-propagated ETRs, combined with tension-gradient guidance, reproduce the expected interference pattern without wavefunctions. A new visual appendix (Appendix R) illustrating the dynamic evolution of the interference landscape and real-time particle guidance. A predictions section (5.8) giving concrete, testable numerical signatures of GETT in modern interferometry, including expected fringe shifts, timing offsets, and modulation depths. This work shows that the double-slit experiment can be fully explained using only a single real field, its perturbations, and their tension gradients—without the conceptual difficulties of standard quantum mechanics. It provides a unified, physically transparent account that is consistent with all single-particle observations from Taylor (1909) to Tonomura (1989) and with modern weak-measurement and biprism experiments. By resolving the double-slit experiment using deterministic field physics, this paper strengthens the broader GETT programme, in which the Φ-field and its density dependency unify gravity, inertia, cosmology, and particle behaviour within a single theoretical structure. This study demonstrates that GETT naturally reproduces quantum interference and offers a clear, testable alternative to traditional quantum interpretations.

Medium Theory SMT Research №18 The Double-Slit Experiment as Dynamics of the Physical Medium Φ

Victor Stoyanov

Abstract In this work, the double-slit experiment is analyzed within the framework of Medium Theory SMT, where space-time is described as a nonlinear physical medium Φ. Instead of treating interference as a purely probabilistic quantum phenomenon, SMT interprets the observed pattern as the result of coherent phase dynamics and elastic deformations of the underlying medium. It is shown that propagating δΦ-perturbations naturally produce interference structures through phase coherence and nonlinear medium response, while localized particle-like configurations correspond to stable topological excitations of Φ. The emergence of the standard interference law follows directly from the medium dynamics without invoking wavefunction collapse or intrinsic randomness. The SMT description provides a unified physical mechanism for wave–particle duality, coherence loss, and pattern formation in the double-slit experiment, linking quantum behavior to deterministic field dynamics of the physical medium.

Fluid-Dynamic Reinterpretation of the Double-Slit Experiment: Pressure Perturbations, Incompressible Media, and Measurement Mechanics

rafik hamdi

Standard quantum mechanics interprets the double-slit experiment through the lens of wave-particle duality, asserting that entities propagate as probability waves and collapse into discrete particles solely upon observation. However, this interpretation evades direct physical and mechanical causality by relying on abstract mathematics and assumed vacuums. This paper introduces a rigorous fluid-dynamic framework, grounded in the principles of **Dark Primordialism**, which posits that the universe operates exclusively through concrete hydraulic interactions. By replacing the probabilistic wave function with a continuous, incompressible cosmic fluid medium, we demonstrate that interference patterns are not emergent from abstract "wave collapse," but are the mechanical result of pressure-field superposition. The core overlapping pressure mechanics driving this phenomenon is formulated as: P_overlap = Sf ⊕ Mr = Φ + ((∇ρ_solar * ∇ρ_lunar) / R_medium) This paper provides: 1. A mechanical explanation for the interference pattern based on pressure streamlines. 2. A deterministic resolution to the "observer effect" through physical measurement perturbation. 3. Clear, testable experimental predictions regarding medium density modification and resistance gradients.

Full Vers.3 / The Morphic Resolution of the Young's

Karabudak, Nelson

Full Vers.3 / The Morphic Resolution of the Young’s Slits Paradox: Wave-Particle Duality as a Morphic Guidance Phenomenon DOI : 10.5281/zenodo.17928212 Nelson Karabudak - Independent Researcher nelson.karabudak@gmail.com Abstract The double-slit experiment remains central to the foundations of quantum mechanics: a single particle produces an interference pattern as if it traversed both slits simultaneously, yet the insertion of a path-marking measurement suppresses this interference. This paper presents a structural resolution based on the Karabdak Unified Theory (KUT). In this framework, the Geometric Fabric is treated as an active field of informational potentiality. The particle is defined as a localized "Coherence Knot" guided by a delocalized Morphic Potential. We demonstrate mathematically that the act of measurement injects an information density into the fabric, which alters its metric rigidity. This creates an effective refractive index that can arrest the propagation of the guiding wave, producing an abrupt, deterministic reduction in interference visibility. Key Contributions Microscopic Derivation: The effective propagation velocity is derived from a minimal Lagrangian formulation including a detector bath and Feynman-Vernon influence functional. Thermodynamic Consistency: The model resolves the energy balance via a fluctuation-dissipation relation, linking the friction coefficient to the background temperature of the fabric. Falsifiable Signature: The theory predicts a specific sigmoidal visibility curve with a distinct "plateau-drop" signature, contrasting with the continuous exponential decay of standard decoherence models. Unified High-Energy Limit (Mirror Effect): The derived impedance formula implies a universality where relativistic acceleration—like information density—drives the fabric’s rigidity to infinity, validating the "Mirror Effect" and topological traversal mechanisms predicted at cosmological scales. Technical Notes on Datasets (Annex F) The numerical tables provided in the full text follow these conventions: Normalization: Information density I is normalised to the critical density (I_crit = 1.0). Visibility Calculation: V(I) is computed from the derived logistic model. Confidence Intervals: 95% CIs are estimated from bootstrap methods on N = 10^4 impacts.

The Double Slit Falsification: Resolving Wave-Particle Duality via the Informational Constraint Framework

Mark A. Edwards

For exactly one century, the standard interpretation of quantum mechanics has conflated predictive statistical mathematics with physical ontology. By mistaking a mathematical map of probabilities for the physical territory of reality, twentieth-century physics enshrined Wave-Particle Duality and Wave-Function Collapse as fundamental tenets of nature, abandoning physical determinism for phenomenological mysticism. This repository contains the formal manuscript and executable visual proofs demonstrating that the paradox of Young's Double Slit experiment is entirely resolvable via macroscopic fluid thermodynamics. Utilizing the Informational Constraint Framework (ICF) and Macroscopic Relaxation Theory, we demonstrate that the electron is not a shape-shifting probability cloud, but a highly compressed, localized macroscopic geometry (the Core) propagating a continuous thermodynamic strain-gradient (the Wake) through a spatial substrate of strictly finite data-processing capacity. The Axiom of Propagation: The Wake shapes the terrain; the Core rides the terrain. By decoupling the Core from the Wake, this paper systematically derives single-slit kinematics, double-slit interference, the fundamental zero-mass nature of the photon, and the true physical reality of the "Observer Effect" strictly through the deterministic actions of continuous fluid topology. The cathedral of quantum probability is conceptually obsolete; it is herein mathematically replaced by the macroscopic thermodynamics of the spatial vacuum.

The Complete Disenchantment of Wave-Particle Duality

Jiwen Nie

Field-Theoretic Explanation of Wave-Particle Duality—Unification of Particle Locality and the Wave Nature of the Perturbation Field This paper provides a physical explanation of the most central puzzle in quantum mechanics—wave-particle duality—without relying on "probability-amplitude collapse" or "nonlocal entanglement." This theory divides all matter in the universe into Nie-matter entities (massive, Staticity) and Ji-matter entities (massless, Dynamicity), and maintains that quantum objects (electrons, neutrons, etc.) are always localized Nie-matter entity particles. Their "wave behavior" originates from the particle's local perturbation of the Ji-matter field that already fills space during motion—the perturbation propagates in the form of a wave, produces an interference field when passing through the double slits, and the interference field in turn guides the particle's landing position. The particle always passes through only one slit, while the field passes through both slits simultaneously; interference is the behavior of the field, not the behavior of the particle. This mechanism naturally explains double-slit interference, the coexistence of neutron collisions and wave behavior, the disturbance of interference fringes by observation devices, and the variation of interference contrast with source offset and slit spacing. This paper further gives three falsifiable predictions: P6-1 (a decisive distinction between device field-strength disturbance and which-path information disturbance), P6-2A (the disturbance effect varies continuously with field strength), and P6-2B (an argument for the explanatory power of double-slit interference contrast—naturally derived from one mechanism vs. jointly explained by four independent concepts). Compared with mainstream theory, this theory does not need "wavefunction collapse," does not need "nonlocality," and does not need "many worlds"—it only needs to acknowledge: particles are localized, the field fills space, and the motion of particles is guided by the local field gradient.

The Double-Slit Experiment Reinterpreted: Matter-Wave Propagation and the Physical Mechanism of Quantum Interference

YOUNG HO GOH

The double-slit experiment has stood for a century as the paradigmatic demonstration of quantum superposition: the standard interpretation holds that a particle passes through both slits simultaneously, existing in a superposition of two spatially separated states. This paper proposes a physically distinct alternative: the particle's matter wave — a real physical wave propagating through space in accordance with de Broglie's relation λ = h/p — passes through both slits, while the particle itself (matter) remains in an undetermined state until a constructive interference maximum is formed at the detection screen. The particle does not simultaneously occupy two locations; the wave does. This distinction eliminates the need for superposition as an ontological commitment while fully reproducing the observed interference pattern. We further show that the disappearance of the interference pattern upon which-path measurement is explained without invoking wavefunction collapse: the measurement interaction redirects the matter wave to a single-slit geometry, eliminating the two-wave interference condition. Three experimentally testable predictions distinguish this framework from the standard interpretation: (1) weak-measurement trajectory reconstruction should reveal single particle paths inconsistent with simultaneous two-slit passage; (2) diffraction fringe spacing should depend on the mass density of the slit material, because denser slit edges generate a steeper refractive-index gradient for the matter wave; (3) the fringe pattern should exhibit a density-dependent phase shift measurable with current matter-wave interferometry technology. This reinterpretation requires no new mathematical formalism — the Schrödinger equation and Born's rule are retained — but replaces the ontological claim of simultaneous multi-location existence with the physically consistent picture of matter-wave propagation through an undetermined-state particle.
