What are the top consensus theories on what the implications of the double slit experiment are?

All the discussions I've seen of it always boils down to "dude we live in a simulation lol" but what do actual scientists think of it?

No, with your set up there isn't a 100% probability that the ball will fly through either slit each time, it could smack into the wall of the material that the slits are in and bounce back but that literally never happens, if flows through the slits every single time IRL because it is NOT a ball bouncing around inside the slits.

>Ok. Give a citation for that. It seems completely unreasonable.
It doesn't matter if it seems "completely unreasonable" to you given your framework that light are little balls. Light isn't little balls, it's a wave, which is why it is able to flow through both slits every time, interfere with itself every time, and make the interference pattern every time, and takes the same amount of time to do so every time we fire a photon. It is completely easily understandable when you actually accept what is going on. Same with electrons, or even large molecules consistenting of dozens (or even hundreds) of atoms. ALL of them behave this way EVERY time, because they are all waves, not 'little balls'.
>citation
This immediately shows you've never even set up and done a double slit experiment because if you had, you'd know that it hits the detector every single time. This is fucking sophomore physics lab stuff, anon.

You can do it yourself it doesn't cost much at all to set up a double slit experiment and see that every single time the particle smacks into the detector in the back and makes the "click click" sounds.

No. You're wrong about how these things propagate across spacetime. They aren't little balls that are bouncing back and forth inside the walls of the double slit. That is not what is happening and that is not what experiments show.

You sound like this troll that keeps following me around side. Because of a few reasons. One is you have little to no self-awareness. The second is at you are obviously deranged. if you had self-awareness you would realize the justification for conceptualizing electron as a wave comes from the results of the double slit experiment. What I have shown is that if you just conceptualize electrons as particles, like little hard balls bouncing elastically off of boundaries you still get an interference pattern. The point is you don't need to conceptualize an electron as a wave to get an interference pattern. If you had any form of self-awareness or knowledge about the philosophy of science you would already understand this

>> No.11910275

>>11910251
You have no idea what you're talking about, I clearly just showed how your vision of them as little balls does not work with experiment.
I have a thorough understanding of the philosophy of science and philosophy in general. You are wrong. You are not seething that your conceptualizing doesn't even work and I clearly showed why (because it would mean there is a probability that the ball would bounce backwards which does not happen, because it's not a ball).
Your conceptualization does not work, because it's not what is happening.

>> No.11910338

You are using the false conclusions from a poorly setup experiment to justify barking at any other interpersonal of that experiment. Let me walk you through this step by step.

We want to design an experiment that shows if an electron is a particle or a wave.

We choose to use the double slit experiment.

The assumption is that if an electron is a wave of probabilities then it will create an interference pattern.

Another assumption is that If an electron is just a particle and like a small hard ball it will not have an interference pattern. ( This is actually wrong as I've demonstrated)

We conduct the experiment.

It shows an interference pattern!

Thus the electron is a wave of probabilities!( But this is wrong since a classical hard ball also creates an interference pattern)

50 years later an omega semi-moron on /sci/. Can't even think of a particle as a hard ball, and uses this assumption to stupidly argue against the real results of the double slit experiment.

The real results are that the experiment doesn't prove anything, since a particle or wave will create an interference pattern

Try using your brain. A hard ball either enters a sit or not . When it comes out it will have it's original velocity or that velocity mirrored vertically. Therefore it will go down or up when it exits the slit , Thus creating an interference pattern. The middle lobe is when an particle exits the top slit going down plus when a particle exits the bottom slit going up. They " interfere" constructively in the middle. The side lobes are created when the particle exits with the other velocity. It's really trivial.

Holy shit you fucking idiot.

If the particles were balls, then it wouldn't behave the same way as if it were waves. That's the point. Balls do not always fly through the double slit whereas waves DO always fly through the double slit.

And when we run experiments, the particles always go through the double slit, because they aren't balls, but waves. When we set up a detector behind the gun that shoot electrons, it never goes off, and the detector behind the double slits goes off every single time for each electron.

Electrons and other particles aren't balls, they're waves.

The double slit experiment and consciousness are completely unrelated phenomena. All resources saying otherwise are either intentionally misleading or inaccurate due to the analogies/simplifications they make to communicate the ideas better. The double slit experiment doesn’t care whether or not a conscious entity is performing the measurement. All the electrons care about is whether or not their paths can be uniquely determined.

Quantum mechanism cares about consciousness in the same way Bayesian statistics cares about consciousness: it doesn’t.

subatomic particles are just expressions of probability. as far as nonlocality each particle exists in all states at once, not only in our 3 spacial dimensions, but also in time. When we interact with a particle we get a random result. This random result can tell us which "universe" we're in. Universe in this context just means how the world currently is and doesn't mean there is a multiverse. each subatomic particle has a rope attached that goes through a tunnel back to the beginning of time. affecting this rope can affect the entire timeline of this particle as well as any particle that became entangled or will become entangled with it. whenever people try to use this phenomenon to send messages back in time it creates a paradox. time loops an indefinite number of times until the paradox is resolved by random quantum effects bubbling up to a macroscopic scale. we live in a universe where time travel is possible, but the it keeps resetting until no one is uses it.
