SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the perception of rapidly approaching slits from the perspective of a particle in quantum mechanics. It concludes that particles do not possess a point of view, rendering the question of how they perceive slits meaningless. Instead, the focus should be on the observer's perspective, such as that of a human or a camera, which would clearly identify the slits. Additionally, the conversation highlights the misconception of particles having a defined path, emphasizing that detection occurs at a specific location without any inherent trajectory.

How would two rapidly approaching slits appear to a particle? Would they appear fuzzy or even indistinguishable?

The particle has no point of view, so there's no meaningful answer to that question.

We could ask what a person approaching the barrier with the slits sees, or what a photograph taken by a camera would look like. The answer is exactly what you'd expect: a barrier with two slits in it.

Actually, I think there is a more basic problem to Jilang's question. He is viewing the particle as having a path. There is no path. There is a place where the particle is detected. If the which way information is not captured, it never existed.
