I'm sure that de Broglie had used that very same arrow-
pierced apple picture, in his lectures --
it surely is old enough. so,
step away from the God-am keyboard & think about it:
there are NO photons & there is NO vacuum.

Not sure what you mean by 'no vacuum'. From your previous posts it
seems you mean 'no aether', or space is a void.

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.

nah; your own assumption is that
"there really is a vacuum, in space, some where,
which is the same as the void or 'plenum'
of pascal's experiment," so "I need to fill this
with a medium through which the wave may ropogate;
call it, The Aether!"

all that I am saying is not, "give poor Harry Potter a chance
to fly out of Hogwarts on a jetbroom," but that
there is only "relative vacuum," period -- duh!

We are all naive if totally ignorant of relevant and necessary
information. For what was known and available to him Maxwell was a
much greater thinker than Einstein. I do not fault him for not
figuring everything out. He died quite young and had he survived to
the early 20th century he might have done wonders.
