The double-slit experiment with a pit in the screen

If anyone ever performs this experiment in a classroom, please post the results on PF. This discussion is just going in circles.

Technically, any result would be “new,” since it appears that this experiment has never actually been conducted.

It is you who is driving the circular motion. Why is it so important to you that this particular experiment has been conducted?

A major function of Science is to replace continuous experimenting and laborious recording of results with theory and formulae which allow us to predict what will happen and to recognise the patterns in our world.

PS (On a practical matter) Nothing could be achieved in "a classroom" version of this experiment because the conditions could not be measured accurately enough for any conclusing to be reached. If you had ever tried to do the basic Slits experiment yourself with any level of useful accuracy then you would appreciate why your experiment is just not feasible. Just let this go until you have grasped the theory in beetter depth.

It only takes one.
