Must have gone through one of the slits

[San K]

There isn't even one candidate theory of what's really going on that makes different predictions than QM.

wait till you hear my hypothesis about a dimension outside space-time...it explains everything within QM...lol..;)

i can buy a photon splitting into two waves...but not a molecule

its possible that photon's movement through the slits is a bit different from the buckyball's

I am selling photons!

For purposes of this analogy, the process is the same for the buckyball. See here:

ha ha...ok...i will have to stop buying photons...;)

great paper...however it does not agree/disagree with the idea that the molecule might have passed through one of the slits and the waves through both...

thus...for both photon and buckyball...i think ...they pass through one of the slits and their associated waves through both and these waves effect the "solid" part of the photon/buckyball
