Waves inherently do not exhibit this behavior. Waves deposit energy continuously. What you are doing is similar to what I said below about using the word "particle". You are calling photons waves, but in so doing completely redefining what the word "wave" means, compared to what it meant in the 19th century. Why not just call them photons, rather than trying to massage the meaning of "particle" or "wave" so that you can shoehorn photons into one of those two categories? More importantly, why does it make any sense about whether it is better to massage the meaning of "wave" than it is to massage the meaning of "particle"? > > < But photons behave in ways that are unlike a usual particle > description. > > > That's because they aren't particles of matter.

Yes, it is. It is COMPLETELY compatible with the C-60 molecule always being detected at a single slit when a detector is placed at the slit(s). In fact, the current model says that's exactly what should happen. > > > Your statement that the photon is always detected as a particle is > > still factually false. > > Your 'understanding' of the physics of nature is more incorrect than > de Broglie wave mechanics. > The "understanding" of nature is not the question put here. It is whether it is an experimental FACT that photons are always detected as particles. That statement is factually incorrect, and has nothing to do with the "correctness" of an "understanding".

The issue is how to you describe how it IS ALWAYS detected exiting a single slit. Detectors are placed at the exits to the slits while the C-60 molecule is in the slit(s). The C-60 molecule is detected exiting a single slit. Detectors are placed and removed from the exits to the slits while the C-60 molecule is in the slit(s). The C-60 molecule creates an interference pattern. You are the only believer in the Copenhagen interpretation of QM who has answered this and your answer is absurd nonsense. You say the C-60 molecule enters one or multiple slits depending on if there will be detectors at the exits in the future. Think about this. You are the only person who chooses to believe in the Copenhagen interpretation of QM and your answer is the future determines the past. The C-60 molecule is ALWAYS detected exiting a single slit because it ALWAYS enters and exits a single slit. A moving C-60 molecule has an associated aether displacement wave. The C-60 molecule enters and exits a single slit in a double slit experiment while the associated aether displacement wave enters and exits multiple slits. The wave creates interference upon exiting the slits which alters the direction the C-60 molecule travels. Detecting the C-60 molecule causes decoherence of the associated aether displacement wave (i.e. turns it into chop) and there is no interference. > > > > > Your statement that the photon is always detected as a particle is > > > still factually false. > > > Your 'understanding' of the physics of nature is more incorrect than > > de Broglie wave mechanics. > > The "understanding" of nature is not the question put here.

The wave creates interference upon exiting the slits which alters the direction the C-60 molecule travels. Detecting the C-60 molecule causes decoherence of the associated aether displacement wave (i.e. turns it into chop) and there is no interference. > > > > > Your statement that the photon is always detected as a particle is > > > still factually false. > > > Your 'understanding' of the physics of nature is more incorrect than > > de Broglie wave mechanics. > > The "understanding" of nature is not the question put here. The whole point of physics is understanding the physics of nature. It is obvious no one who chooses to believe in the Copenhagen interpretation of QM understands the physics of nature. If anyone did there would be a better answer then the C-60 molecule enters one or multiple slits depending upon what occurs in the future. > It is > whether it is an experimental FACT that photons are always detected as > particles. That statement is factually incorrect, and has nothing to > do with the "correctness" of an "understanding". Photons are detected as a quantum of mæther.

Yes, a theory has to match experimental data without disregarding it. And it does. You claimed the current theory disregards that data. That is another factual error. > > Think about this.

If I were the only person who believed it, wouldn't it be named after me? If I were the only person who believed in it, then why is it so readily available in books everywhere you look? Are you so brain-dead stupid that you can't see this? What you perhaps mean is that I'm the only person among the small class of people who will pay the slightest attention to you at all and that believes in it. But the small class of people who will pay the slightest attention to you at all doesn't span all of science at all. You must be under the impression that if you don't understand something, that science will fall all over itself in hordes to convince you and to help you understand. It does not occur to you that you are an insufferable human being that most people don't have the patience to interact with. > > The whole point of physics is understanding the physics of nature. Yes, indeed, but what I'm trying to discuss with you now is a statement that you made that is simply factually incorrect. You said that photons are always detected as particles. If you cannot get facts correct, then you will not be able to obtain any understanding of nature, as you'll be starting with factually incorrect statements. If you start with lies that you make up, then you will not arrive at a correct understanding of nature. PD |
