That it's emergent from something else. No, that's not what "gravity" is when we're talking about whether it's emergent or not. What...

But the two detectors are detecting different observables. Heuristically, the normal detector screen is detecting position, so it makes...

People working on the theoretical side of electron microscopy and charge particle optics know how to compute such scenarios. The...

The problem again is that this is not a normalized momentum probability distribution, its integral over p diverges. So you can't...

If the tracks are sufficient to record which path information, why would there be any interference at all?

I hadn't thought about that explicitly, but if my claim that the tracks are sufficient to record which path information is correct, my...

As I understand it, @Roberto Pavani intended a scenario basically as follows: (1) Start with a double slit experiment setup which is...

Interference pattern of what? The plastic is not measuring impact positions. It's measuring tracks. What would an "interference pattern"...

Mine doesn't. Let's suppose we apply a voltage of 1000 V to accelerate the protons; that gives them a speed of about 400,000 meters per...

What's p?

I don't think your Mott track analogy works here, at least not the way you are trying to use it. In the case of the standard double...

Is this a peer-reviewed paper? It doesn't look like one. Not to mention that the red lines are added by you. Is there a peer-reviewed...

Please start a separate thread if you want to discuss a separate question.

How? In path integral terms, what contribution to the amplitude would such paths make? My answer is, zero, since the experiment is set...

No, the particle's speed is extremely uncertain. It could be almost light speed or it could be zero. And it could be moving in any...
