    Double-Slit Experiment: Wave or Particle?

    Of course. I remember now. Electrons, and all quantum entities, reside in transcendent potentia (as possibility waves) beyond space and time, as Heisenberg once noted. So, again, this would mean that what is being shot in the double-slit experiment is a possible electron (actually being a...

    Double-Slit Experiment: Wave or Particle?

    Ok, I get it. But if in my main question "photon" is replaced with "electron", what is your answer to it then?

    Double-Slit Experiment: Wave or Particle?

    Ok, so what is being shot away is actually a probability wave that can either remain as such, or become a particle, depending on whether it's detected not? And, again, if so, shouldn't there be two interference patterns; One between the semi-transparent mirrors and the slits, and a second one...

    Double-Slit Experiment: Wave or Particle?

    Yes, but when you have an interference pattern (i.e. you didn't determine the path of the photon), what did you shoot? A wave of possibillity? And why isn't there a pre-slit interference pattern, caused by the semi-transparent mirrors (that would disturb the post-slit dito)?

    Double-Slit Experiment: Wave or Particle?

    In the double-slit experiment, as I understand it, a single photon is fired towards a pair of semi transparent mirrors (mirror A and B). If passing through mirror A, the photon will take route A, which leads through slit A. If passing through mirror B, the photon will take route B, which leads...
