I'm going to emphasize this because I've said it already but it does not appear to have sunk in: Unitary evolution cannot create or...

Doesn't matter. Recording the tracks is enough in itself regardless of whether or how that information contributes to anything else...

There is no "supposed" measurement of position at the slits. There is only a measurement of momentum in the plastic. The momentum...

You seem to be assuming that it is impossible for particles to reach that region without inteference being present. That's not correct...

Tracks that come from one slit or the other. Perhaps it might help to think of things in terms of the path integral formulation. In the...

Is not what is going on in the scenario @Roberto Pavani is describing. Measuring the track is basically equivalent to measuring the...

Because measuring a track means measuring a track--not just a point of impact, but a trajectory. So, heuristically, by measuring the...

Unfortunately, this thread has shown that it's not possible to ask your question without discussing your personal theory. Thread closed.

Do you mean what @renormalize said in post #44? I'll assume you do in what follows. So you're thinking that the plastic will record...

This doesn't help. What is "track-recording plastic"? What is it supposed to do that the detector screen itself doesn't already do? And...

Is this an argument that appears in the peer-reviewed literature? If not, it's personal theory and is off limits here.

Even if this is true... ...this does not follow. Decoherence doesn't provide single outcomes.

Meaning, tracks from the proton source, through the slits, and to the detector screen? If so, then this... ...is not correct. Recording...

Hi You're asking the right question, but the answer is structural, not technical. The reason AI isn't optimized for correctness is...
