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.

The history of the double-slit experiment (DSE) is more than two centuries old. Its results played a significant role in the discovery of the wave nature of light, and then formed the basis for important provisions of quantum mechanics. However, the results are still difficult to interpret unequivocally. In particular, they have been treated recently even outside the framework of the universally accepted, experimentally verifiable science. For example, the results were tried to connect with the influence on the experiment of the experimenter’s consciousness or with the influence of worlds which exist parallel to our world. At the same time, indeed, the interpretation of the results is extremely difficult and the situation with the understanding of these results, especially in light of recent researches, is becoming more and more complicated. The purpose of our study is to analyze the results of several recent experiments and to introduce a new understanding of them taking into account the possibility of resonant (synchronous) interaction of all physical fields that influence the process of the experiment. We believe that it is necessary to take into account the nonlinear nature of the interacting fields where extreme particle-waves can exist.
This chapter provides a brief historical introduction to quantum theory, and shows that the theory opens up some radically new ways of thinking about the place of mind and consciousness in nature. Quantum theory is all about learning, on the basis of scientific experiments, to question the "obvious" truths about the nature of the physical world and to come up with more coherent alternatives. The chapter considers the famous two-slit experiment. It explores what the different interpretations of quantum theory say about situations like the two-slit experiment, and also considers what kind of theories of mind and consciousness some interpretations have inspired. The attempt to explain mind and consciousness in terms of the quantum theory involves heavy speculation. The advances in quantum biology, while not giving direct support to quantum brain theory, perhaps make a biologically grounded quantum theory of consciousness seem less inconceivable.
The double-slit experiment demonstrates the quantum physics particle-wave duality problem. Over the last decades many interpretations were introduced to the quantum theory perception problem. In most cases there was use of unclear terms, or obscure processes in these interpretations, such as particle splitting. In this paper we propose a novel concept to explain the experiment based on two postulates: The Equivalence of Form (EoF), and the particles connection to other particles, effectively functioning as a group. These two condi-tions are necessary to maintain wave qualities in the collective relations, and therefore cannot exist in a sin-gle particle. De Broglie introduced the mathematical relation of particle to wave; however, he did not specify the conditions for that. The proposed interpretation is a new way of looking at particles as a united group, the Kevutsa, which has a higher order level of matter. A series of identical particles maintain additional qualities to show a large united, correlated motion that we observe as waves transport through systems.
We present a new vision on the double-slit experiment (DSE) that does not use any waves or the so-called waveparticle duality. It is based on particles, viewed as localized vibrations. Rather than being illogical, or mysterious, the approach reproduces logically the interference patterns observed externally, using the well-known “amplification of stimulated emission” (ASE). The conservation of particle number is not observed. Different particles can present ASE with in-phase or counter phase behavior, making the patterns observed for electrons, other particles, even atoms. The Law of the Excluded Middle (LEM) is not broken illogically in two-states macroscopically, but broken naturally in three or more states, microscopically, using ASE. Any particle supporting ASE, in-phase or counter-phase, can enter a DSE, and provide an external interference pattern. Frequency plays a role, while amplitude is not considered. This work is important in quantum computing, possibly saving cost, time, and welcoming more participants.

Abstract The double-slit experiment is a classic experiment that presents the clearest manifestation of wave-particle duality, one of the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics. The double-slit experiment still remains the phenomenon that demonstrates wave-particle duality at the most fundamental level. This phenomenon quantitatively and conceptually demonstrates that microscopic objects can behave like both waves and particles at the same time. This article provides an in-depth analysis of the physical nature of dualism, the mechanism of formation of the interference pattern, and the impact of the act of observation on the dynamics of quantum systems. The need for a new perspective on this topic is due to the fact that the current uncertainty in the interpretation of quantum reality has not yet been completely eliminated, and the boundaries between classical and quantum behavior in microscopic objects are still being explored. The results presented here restructure the deep mechanisms of the interference picture, more clearly frame the relationship between observation and wavefunction collapse, and provide a quantum. Since the article attempts to provide a complete answer to the mechanism of the formation of wave-particle duality, extensive space is given to sections such as historical development, theoretical models, modern research, etc. New approaches to this phenomenon have been developed using modern research and string theory. As a result, a new mathematical expression has been proposed that explains the reasons for the initial emergence of wave-particle duality, and is also important for string theory. The article explains the measurement problem with a more effective physical structure and ontological model.
