A C-60 molecule is in the slit(s). While the C-60 molecule is in the
slit(s) detectors are placed at the exits to the slits. When there are
detectors at the exits to the slits the C-60 molecule is always
detected exiting a single slit. If the 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.

Explain how this is possible without aether.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_de_Broglie

"This research culminated in the de Broglie hypothesis stating that
any moving particle or object had an associated wave."

'Interpretation of quantum mechanics
by the double solution theory
Louis de BROGLIE'
http://www.ensmp.fr/aflb/AFLB-classiques/aflb124p001.pdf

"I called this relation, which determines the particle's motion in the
wave, "the guidance formula". It may easily be generalized to the case
of an external field acting on the particle."

"This result may be interpreted by noticing that, in the present
theory, the particle is defined as a very small region of the wave
where the amplitude is very large, and it therefore seems quite
natural that the internal motion rythm of the particle should always
be the same as that of the wave at the point where the particle is
located."

de Broglie's definition of wave-particle duality is of a physical wave
and a physical particle. The particle occupies a very small region of
the wave.

In AD, the external field is the aether. In a double slit experiment
the particle occupies a very small region of the wave and enters and
exits a single slit. The wave enters and exits the available slits.

In AD, the C-60 molecule has an associated aether displacement wave.
The C-60 molecule always enters and exits a single slit while the
associated aether displacement wave enters and exits the available
slits. The displacement 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.

Experiments which will provide evidence of Aether Displacement:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_choice_quantum_eraser#The_experiment

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.

Incorrect. Beam splitters do not cause a photon to 'split' into 'two
photons' of half the energy. What you are mistaking for two photons is
the associated aether wave propagating the available paths while the
photon 'particle' travels a single path.

If you actually read the experiment associated with the experiment which
will provide evidence of Aether Displacement you would know this.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_choice_quantum_eraser
\#The_experiment

"a beta barium borate crystal (labeled as BBO) causes spontaneous
parametric down conversion (SPDC), converting the photon (from either
slit) into two identical entangled photons with 1/2 the frequency of the
original photon."

And:

"beam splitters (green blocks) are encountered that each have a 50%
chance of allowing the idler to pass through and a 50% chance of causing
it to be reflected."

A C-60 molecule is in the slit(s). While the C-60 molecule is in the
slit(s) detectors are placed at the exits to the slits. When there are
detectors at the exits to the slits the C-60 molecule is always
detected exiting a single slit. If the detectors are placed and
