Post ACTUAL real life video evidence of photon detectors in the double slit experiment collapsing the interference pattern of light into 2 lines.
Because I am calling bullshit.
There's no way that it is not caused by environmental effects such as the detectors themselves interfering with the light. So I want real life video evidence, not animated rubbish.

Regarding the dual slit experiment: I see the interference pattern and understand the (simplified) explanation well enough. What I don't get is why the two slits become point sources for light just because light passes through them. With water ripples, I can see how the pressure transmitted by the medium would allow a ripple to spread out (radiate) from a hole as water passes through. But with light, it's not a material flow. What's happening to the light at the slot that causes it to spread in all directions from that point? Is pic related a poor representation?
