Reexamining the Role of Consciousness in the Quantum Universe from the Double-Slit Interference Experiment: Clarifying Misconceptions of Wavefunction Collapse and the Mechanism of Conscious Self-Consistency

Zhongning Yi

The double-slit interference experiment has long been widely misinterpreted as "human consciousness directly causing wavefunction collapse". This view confuses physical measurement interaction with subjective conscious experience and deviates from the orthodox interpretation of modern quantum mechanics. Starting from the double-slit experiment, this paper distinguishes the real physical mechanism of wavefunction collapse and points out that the disappearance of interference fringes originates from the physical coupling between measuring devices and microscopic particles as well as environmental decoherence, which has no direct causal relationship with conscious observation. On this basis, this paper proposes a self-consistent unified framework of consciousness and quantum universe: consciousness is not the trigger of collapse, but the ontological source of the entire quantum possibility universe. Through the Yang-Mills mass gap and symmetry breaking mechanism, consciousness condenses the potential quantum field into a material universe with mass, structure and stable dynamics. The biological brain acts as a localized carrier of consciousness, enabling the overall consciousness to observe and experience its own creation from a limited perspective, forming a closed loop of "consciousness creation—self-observation—self-cognition". This paper corrects systematic biases in popular science and public perception, and provides a rigorous and unified path for understanding the real role of consciousness in the quantum universe.

Optical-Butterfly-Effect in PhotoWave Experiments --- Curve-Single Slit, Curve-Double Slit, and Non-Parallel-Curve-Double Slit Experiments

Hui Peng

Feynman (1956) called the double slit experiment "[…] it contains the only mystery. We cannot make the mystery go away by ‘explaining’ how it works". The photons are described by probability wave functions. The wave functions collapse to photons when measuring. However, the collapse of the wave function leads to the inconsistent/incomplete of the quantum mechanics (Penrose, 2022). In this article, we confirm that the apparatus of slits, e.g., the curve-double slit, does not change the nature of the light passing through it. We perform multi-experiments to show that, before and after passing through the apparatus of slits, the light is photons, not waves. And it is photons that produce the non-wave pattern and wave patterns in the same experiment. We refer to the phenomena as “PhotoWave Phenomena”. We experimentally show for the first-time novel phenomena that are new mysteries: (1) in the same curve-single slit experiment, the patterns are non-diffraction near the apparatus of slits and then, gradually evolve to the Hourglass-shape patterns; (2) Curved-double slit produces Arc-shape interference pattern near the apparatus of slits and Point-symmetry interference patterns near the detector; (3) non-parallel-curve-double slit produces Butterfly-shape interference patterns. We show the sensitive dependence of patterns on the structures of apparatus of slits: changes in the structure of the apparatus of slits result in profound differences in both pattern evolution and final pattern. We refer to it as “Optical-Butterfly-effect”. Slit Patterns Slit Patterns The above novel phenomena are universal. The PhotoWave phenomena support Penrose’s statement. To explain completely/consistently the PhotoWave phenomena and Optical-Butterfly-effect is a challenge. Advances in optical experiments demand a complete theory. The experiments provide the comprehensive phenomena for further developing theoretical model to study the nature of the light and the light wave theories.
