No definitely not correct. No aether displacement wave should be detected because such a thing does not exist. You can say "magically" if you like, but the correct terminology is "scientifically". An undetectable aether displacement wave that goes through both slits sounds magical to me. Especially when a theory of such a thing is incapable of generating any observable scientific results. The Copenhagen Interpretation, on the other hand, has lead to observable results. How does your unobservable aether wave explain this?: http://www.nature.com/news/2010/100317/full/news.2010.130.html A modified double slit experiment has even been used to show superposition in time as well as space: http://physicsworld.com/cws/article/news/21623 If you're going to propose a grand theory that rocks the boat, you really should keep up with the boat.

With no detector at either slit, the wave function does not collapse until it strikes the detector screen (another macroscopic system of decoherence). The difference is observed in the pattern created on the screen. With no detector at either slit, a wave interference pattern requiring a wave passing through both slits simultaneously is observed on the screen, even when only one molecule (or subatomic particle) is fired at a time. Self interference is observed. What observable results does your aether wave theory predict which are conclusively different from the observable results already used to create technological achievements by those who follow the Copenhagen Interpretation? In other words, how is your aether wave theory falsifiable?

The observable result is the interference pattern in every double slit experiment ever performed. If you perform an experiment and place detectors at the exits to the slits and you always detect the particle exiting a single slit then do you know what that is? It is evidence the particle always enters and exits a single slit. > The > Copenhagen Interpretation, on the other hand, has lead to observable > results. > > How does your unobservable aether wave explain this?:http://www.nature.com/news/2010/100317/full/news.2010.130.html > They are detecting the associated aether wave. > A modified double slit experiment has even been used to show > superposition in time as well as space:http://physicsworld.com/cws/article/news/21623 > Detecting, or determining, which-way destroys the cohesion of the associated aether wave and there is no interference. > If you're going to propose a grand theory that rocks the boat, you > really should keep up with the boat.

The particle travels a single path. Detecting the particle causes decoherence of the associated aether displacement wave (i.e. turns the aether wave into chop) and there is no interference. > With no detector at either slit, the wave function does not > collapse until it strikes the detector screen (another macroscopic > system of decoherence). With no detector at either slit, the coherence of the associated aether displacement wave is maintained and creates interference which alters the direction the particle travels. > The difference is observed in the pattern > created on the screen.

The aether wave passing through both slits simultaneously causes interference upon exiting the slits which alters the direction the particle travels. > even when only one molecule (or subatomic particle) is fired at a time. Correct. Because the moving molecule (or moving subatomic particle), which is fired one at a time, has an associated aether wave. > Self interference is observed. Incorrect. The aether wave exits the slits and creates interference which alters the direction the particle travels. A moving particle has an associated aether wave. > > What observable results does your aether wave theory predict which are > conclusively different from the observable results already used to > create technological achievements by those who follow the Copenhagen > Interpretation? In other words, how is your aether wave theory > falsifiable? I already mentioned placing a detector at the exit to one of the slits and firing a second particle across the front of the open slit. The aether wave exiting the open slit will alter the direction the second particle travels. The following is an explanation of what occurs in nature in a 'delayed choice quantum eraser' experiment. Following the explanation are two experiments which will provide evidence of Aether Displacement. In the image on the right here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_choice_quantum_eraser#The_experiment When the downgraded photon pair are created, in order for there to be conservation of momentum, the original photons momentum is maintained. This means the downgraded photon pair have opposite angular momentums. We will describe one of the photons as being the 'up' photon and the other photon as being the 'down' photon. One of the downgraded photons travels either the red or blue path towards D0 and the other photon travels either the red or blue path towards the prism. There are physical waves in the aether propagating both the red and blue paths. The aether waves propagating towards D0 interact with the lens and create interference prior to reaching D0. The aether waves create interference which alters the direction the photon travels prior to reaching D0. There are actually two interference patterns being created at D0. One associated with the 'up' photons when they arrive at D0 and the other interference pattern associated with the 'down' photons when they arrive at D0. Both 'up' and 'down' photons are reflected by BSa and arrive at D3. Since there is a single path towards D3 there is nothing for the wave in the aether to interfere with and there is no interference pattern and since it is not determined if it is an 'up' or 'down' photon being detected at D3 there is no way to distinguish between the photons arriving at D0 which interference pattern each photon belongs to. The same for photons reflected by BSb and arrive at D4. Photons which pass through BSa and are reflected by BSc and arrive at D1 are either 'up' or 'down' photons but not both. If 'up' photons arrive at D1 then 'down' photons arrive at D2. The opposite occurs for photons which pass through BSb. Photons which pass through BSa and pass through BSb and arrive at D1 are all either 'up' or 'down' photons. If all 'up' photons arrive at D1 then all 'down' photons arrive at D2. Since the physical waves in the aether traveling both the red and blue paths are combined prior to D1 and D2 the aether waves create interference which alters the direction the photon travels. Since all 'up' photons arrive at one of the detectors and all 'down' photons arrive at the other an interference pattern is created which reflects back to the interference both sets of photons are creating at D0. Figures 3 and 4 here: http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/quant-ph/pdf/9903/9903047v1.pdf Show the interference pattern of the 'up' and 'down' photons. If you were to combine the two images and add the peaks together and add the valleys together you would have the interference pattern of the original photon. This is evidence the downgraded photon pair maintain the original photons momentum and have opposite angular momentums. Nothing is erased. There is no delayed choice. Physical waves in the aether are traveling both the red and blue paths and when the paths are combined the waves create interference which alters the direction the photon 'particle' travels. Experiments which will provide evidence of Aether Displacement: Experiment #1: Instead of having a single beam splitter BSc have two beam splitters BSca and BScb. Have the photons reflected by mirror Ma interact with BSca and have the photons reflected by mirror Mb interact with BScb. Do not combine the red and blue paths. Have additional detectors D1a, D2a, D1b, and D2b. Have the photons reflected by and propagate through BSca be detected at D1a and D2a. Have the photons reflected by and propagate through BScb be detected at D1b and D2b. If you compare the photons detected at D1a and D1b with the photons detected at D0, the corresponding photons detected at D0 will form an interference pattern. If you compare the photons detected at D2a and D2b with the photons detected at D0, the corresponding photons detected at D0 will form an interference pattern. What is occurring is all 'up' photons are being detected at one pair of detectors, for example D1a and D1b, and all 'down' photons are being detected at the other pair of detectors, for example D2a and D2b. Interference patterns do not even need to be created in order to 'go back' and determine the interference patterns created at D0. Experiment #2: Alter the experiment. When the downgraded photon pair are created, have each photon interact with its own double slit apparatus. Have detectors at one of the exits for each double slit apparatus. When a photon is detected at one of the exits, in AD, the photon's aether wave still exists and is propagating along the path exiting the other slit. When a photon is not detected at one of the exits, the photon 'particle' along with its associated aether wave exits the other slit. Combine the path the aether wave the detected photon is propagating along with the path of the other photon and its associated aether wave. An interference pattern will still be created. This shows the aether wave of a detected photon still exists and is able to create interference with the aether wave of another photon, altering the direction the photon 'particle' travels.

Not only does it rely on superposition (Copenhagen Interpretation) but also entanglement (Copenhagen Interpretation). How does your aether displacement wave theory explain entanglement? What ties your aether displacement wave to any particular particle, even non-locally? So far you've only described experiments that have/would give identical observable results, but you claim "but I'm saying the result is occurring because of an aether displacement wave, instead of superposition or entanglement as predicted by quantum theory". What experiment would show a divergence between the theories? Or will they always give identical results? And no, you don't get to say "perform experiment x and result y will demonstrate an aether displacement wave". That is not falsification. Falsification requires "perform experiment x and result y cannot happen if the aether displacement wave does exist but superposition and/or entanglement do not exist". If there is essentially no difference, then your aether wave theory is just another statement of the pilot wave theory - been around for a long time: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot_wave The more modern version, the de Broglie�Bohm theory, is completely unnecessary, in the Occam's razor sense of unnecessary. The only way to falsify the Copenhagen Interpretation in relation to the pilot wave theory would be to prove that alternate universes exist (required in pilot wave theory). Since these alternate universes can have no observers, and we are observers, falsification by us is impossible. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohm_interpretation#Occam.27s_razor_criticism
