Undergrad Double slit experiment questions
How could any of these things happen? Common sense, intuition, etc. agree with you. Then again, we are often taught that the intuitively obvious isn't always correct, and quantum physicists on pop-science shows like Discovery or Nova or whatever, lead you to believe these things. That's why I...- yadda

Undergrad Double slit experiment questions
As in the movie Coolhand Luke, 'what we have here is failure to communicate.' That's fine, I don't blame anyone for that. It's the nature of the beast. At any rate, fine, I 'get' that there's a dot at point of impact blah blah. I 'get' that the pattern builds up over time as a series of...- yadda

Undergrad Double slit experiment questions
Ahhh, but we do need seconds or minutes to see the effect (at least I do). I want to either see one pattern change to another pattern before my eyes (if that is in fact what would occur), or I want to see that I don't have the free will to choose one thing or the other, or I want to see...- yadda

Undergrad Double slit experiment questions
I have a question on a particular version of the double slit experiment (I know there are many). I am not sure I understood it correctly, so I am going to explain it in a very basic manner and in my own words. You tell me if my explanation is correct or not, and then I have another question...- yadda
