Well olgranpappy, I'd love to conduct that experiment myself... But, not possible for me at this juncture. Time for me to freely admit, I'm not a university physics student. It still begs Dr. Todd's original question...this experiment has NOT been done?? I've googled this extensively...

Okay, so you're saying that due to the observer effect, and the resulting collapse of the wave function, that instead of an interference pattern there results a single-slit diffraction pattern (or more precisely, two that are nearly superimposed). I don't doubt that the hypothetical...

olgranpappy, My understanding of the article you cite is that Tonomura et al demonstrated the interference pattern resulting from single-electrons being directed one at a time through the double slits...that experiment did NOT involve showing how the pattern reverts to two straight lines when...
