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?:

When exposed to a sufficiently large system of decoherence, such as is
the detector at a slit, the wave function collapses and the C-60
molecule dephases from a coherent wave function into a decoherent
particle. 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.

Detecting, or determining, which-way destroys the cohesion of the
associated aether wave and there is no interference.

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 coherence of the associated
aether displacement wave is maintained and creates interference which
alters the direction the particle travels.

Correct. The aether wave passing through both slits simultaneously
causes interference upon exiting the slits which alters the direction
the particle travels.

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.

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.

Correct. The moving molecule has an associated aether wave.

The delayed choice quantum eraser experiment was discussed in a
thread... last month? 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.

If a particle goes unambiguously through one slit, there is no longer

You seem to miss the point of the double slit experiments. If one
adds a detector or some method to determine which slit the particle
has entered, the interference pattern disappears!

No, only the ones that don't observe an interference pattern.
