I know next to nothing about quantum mechanics, but this seems like a really stupid way of thinking about particle-wave duality.

The probability function i.e. the wave properties of particles is analogous to fields in classical physics. Waves are no more physical than fields, neither of which can be directly measured.

The interference pattern has absolutely nothing to do with waves. It has everything to do with the uncertainty principle at the slit.

Not making a measurement at the slit allows a particle to have a wider range of energy and momentum, creating a wider pattern at the detector. Measuring at the slit bounds the energy and momentum so that it can only exist where it is observed on the detector i.e no intereference.

Calling it an interference pattern is a misnomer from when it was poorly understood. The uncertainty principle is the ultimate redpill.

When you quantize things like position, momentum, energies, etc. observation doesn’t come for free. Depending on whether you subscribe to orthodox theory or not, there are axioms (or theorems in the other paradigms) as to how you can treat quantum experiments. Measurement is a bad word to use in Copenhagen since it’s strictly upholds that particles don’t exist until “ideal measurement.”

Basically when you follow a particle’s position through time, there isn’t an interference pattern because you have specific information. There is dual behavior, but basically you have to examine the collapse of the wave function. The interference pattern lets us talk about how particles collect in discrete intervals. There are more sophisticated mathematical reasons, but essence is that no matter what theory you believe, looking does NOT come for free. Take more quantum theory courses until your teaches stop just teaching you to shut up and calculate. All of my best quantum professors have been skeptics of Copenhagen, so I’m a little biased. You have to understand the born rule, bell’s argument, quantum nonlocality, superliminal propagation, how HV theories like Bohmian mechanics surpass the basic arguments like hardy and GHZ, and most importantly, the measurement problem. Unfortunately, it’s hard to have this conversation until you’re comfortable shutting up and calculating.

Does the particle take on the wave function because

1. It is not probabilistic, but we never measure it precisely so probabilistic is the best we got. It can take on one value at any time.

2. It is fundamentally probabilistic and takes on multiple values at any time

I'm sure it's (2) but honestly that doesn't explain much.

How can light behave like a wave if there is no ether? Waves require a medium, in fact that's why they propogate again at each slit, it's because they push against the medium, an the medium pushes against the walls of the slits.

>> No.10184098

>>10184084
You just made a circular argument.
And it's not how ether is used historically. So your definition is basically headcannon fan fiction.
You also are not considering that space-time is a thing rather than a default given. Space is not a void, it's a medium in flux.

>> No.10184106

>>10184098
Show me the circle as I don't see it:
1. All waves consist of medium, usually under the effect of being in a pressurized environment, or an environment with significant gravity, or both. Sound, from my juvenile understanding, travels through various mediums (like the steel rail of a train track), or the open air, bouncing molecules and with this physics a 'wave' is created, because it's in an invisible sea. The reason you get new ripples at each slit is because the medium (water is easiest to visualize) is pushing against the walls of each slit, and then pushing back against itself too as it passes through. This is easier for me to believe than that it is magic. The double blind experiment works with water too, not just light, and it would work with sound too, except maybe the weird observer thing, but you'd have to test it to see.

>> No.10184118

>>10184106
Yes there is a medium, but you calling it ether doesn't make that the same usage for that term in the past. You said that light moves in a wave due to "ether" and when asked to define ether you said it was the medium that light moves in. That's the very obvious circle.
While you still ignore the fact we already know that space IS a medium.

>> No.10184133

>>10184118
Can you prove that there that the space inside of a zero gravity vacuum is a medium? Google says there's a medium in space, but it's random dust and gasses, so it's not "space itself," as you suggest.

So far this one isn't enlightening me, I'll still watch, but I think you misunderstand.
A particle doesn't need a medium to travel through, but for many particles to act as a wave (say, water molecules), they have to be under the effect of physical laws that regulate their motion like pressure and gravity and inertia and more, and that's why I was curious if water would still ripple at each blind in zero gravity vacuum, or if it would just interfere like particles. When I visualize it in my head, I see it not behaving as a wave in that situation.

You're right. However, in order to measure it we need to "see" it. This means at the very least, a single photon is absorbed and re emitted by the particle being observed, so whatever it would have been doing before the photon hit it, it's now doing something after.

It doesnt matter. For a given slit length, you can calculate the position and momentum that allows it to go through the slit. As soon as you measure the position i.e. which slit it goes through, you are restricting the momentum that can be observed by those particles to ones that in aggregate will not give an interference pattern. This is because of the uncertainty principle.

The math is actually very basic. Say you have a 5 Mev stream of electrons being shot out of your collimator. Say a slit is 4mm wide. And the screen is 1m away Now you can calculate all of the momentum with direction allowed that will hit the screen.

Then restrict the width from 4mm to 50 micrometers. See which momenta are allowed then.

Except you have to do something in the real world to detect it. If you have to bonk the photon with another photon of course they are going to affect one another.

A "wave" is what something does. Not a thing of itself , by itself. You have to further elaborate what exactly is "waving". The "medium" is "waving". It does not matter what the fuck you call it, it is a variable pressure that never becomes fully inert. When you disturb the medium you aren't adding anything to it. You are displacing it, creating compressions and rarefactions in it. That's not measured in "speed". Let me simplify that for you.
YOU ARE DISPLACING THE DENSITY OF THE MEDIUM PRESENT BY MEANS OF INDUCTION.
To say "light travels" is completely incorrect. It's a rate of induction. You are inducing a pressure mediation of a medium already present, when you place any object (be it the pinhead of a "double slit") in the path of that coherent mediation it's obviously going to displace it.

Measurement is a meme. Things TRAVEL as waves but INTERACT as particles. The magnitude of each effect is determined largely by mass, and on the really small scale, quantum effects. A weird case is we have diffracted neutrons. There is no upper and lower bound as far as we can tell for "locking" something into wave or particle behavior. Things are ALWAYS both.

Correct me if I'm wrong but measurement in this case doesn't have to be visual and photons need not be involved. There are other ways of measuring which slit the electron would pass through that doesn't involve visual measurements.

An effect can still cause something else to happen by proxy. A newton cradle for instance, you picking the ball up is the cause yet it still transfers the motion and "causes" the other balls to hit each other. Initially though, you are still "the cause" of that and something else causes you. It is a steadfast where the origin is point non-specific.

Seriously though, QM is not the place where things behave in an immediately intuitive fashion to what you'd expect after a lifetime of dealing with classical physics.
