No, the experiment has also been done by firing single particles which still behave like wave.

Until the there is interference with the wave and it recovers its particle like properties. The collapse of the wave function doesn't cause it to stop being wavelike, and when not interfered with, the single particle doesn't lose its particle properties.

Huh? The results of the experiment are not different due to a change in perspective, they're directly the result of the use of a tool.
When you use a photon detector, your two slits act as if they're laser pointers shooting straight forward, like if you were to shoot two parallel guns to create two bullet holes.
When you don't use a photon detector, you get a wave interference pattern like you'd expect.
It's not like the sound wave suddenly looks like two single bullet holes when I move around the room.

Electrons have charge, correct?
Electrons apply and react to charges, correct?
Electrons do it all the time, correct?
Electrons react with the electrons and protons that make up the slit, correct?
Electrons react with the electrons and protons that make up the detector, correct?
Electrons influence propagates to nearby particles like chain reaction, correct?

Ok so, what changes with "observer" and "not observer"?
Is it made of dark matter, weird matter, new god particles? Where is the beginning of observing and not observing electrons?

That is the point anon, it can't be explained. No one knows how just observing can cause a wave to collapse or how single particles can act like waves.

Scientists including Einstein have been baffled by it for almost 100 years. The greatest minds in the world have no explication for it.

It defies all the laws of physics known to man, it is literally impossible, yet it happens.

There are theories about why it happens such as a superposition state. But more than anything it shows that there is something happening which is related to simply observing.

Basically the "wave-particle duality" spread all over hells half acre was just a lie/misunderstanding.

Energy is always a wave. Always. That is why interactions destroy the interference pattern as the other anon points out. The interaction, "measurement", simply localizes that into a point in space. A completely different idea than one the vast majority of people have been wrongly taught.

The error stems from fundamental misunderstanding with what "a detector" is. Necessarily, something causing an interaction. That interaction localizes the energy that then, unsurprisingly, behaves like a particle. This does not eliminate the wave pattern either, as enough particles reproduce the wave pattern in succession. As the wave pattern is a representation of other properties, a distribution of random directions.

The observed case is just the EM waves being obsorbed and re emited but they are so close to the screen and they are no longer hitting more slits after the first slits, so the wave does not have time or means to interfere.

The EM field is a 3d/4d medium composed of particles. It can have waves in it. The waves can interfere with one another.

The waves when detected at the slits, are absorbed, and reemited, the reemited waves are no longer go through the slit to make the interference pattern, they just splash on the wall; the descrete particles that make up the field are seen as impact points on the wall; the particles hit the wall at different times at different velocity at different locations, this can be charred as a wave function of frequency and wavelength and amplitude

The reason that is important requires understanding history and what people were arguing at the time. Trust me, these "obvious" developments were not at all obvious when everyone was arguing about it. The problem is people are taught a myth about that debate instead of what the real debate was.

The issue was never whether one could alter the effects of energy by its interaction. This is played up as "the issue" due to public ignorance and the myth just ran amok. The issue was about probability and direction, and as it turns out the probability of the direction of the energy post-interaction mimics the probability of the waves canceling or amplifying one another.

So it is incredibly important to know that, because there was no immediately apparent reason WHY that would be the case at the time. It was argued that light was EITHER particle OR waves, come to find out energy can exhibit these behaviors but retain the properties of waves due to probability distributions.

The public misunderstanding is in what "wave-particle duality" means. It is not two things at once. It's that the behavior retains wave properties even when interacting as a particle. That's why it is such an important nobel prize winning piece of work, and I encourage you to read the original study.

Light is a wave, electrons are particles.

Electrons generate EM=light wave (frequency is possibly outside of your vision range).

Thus, shooting either fron double slit, generates a wave pattern.

You probably missed the important phrase before that, "if you let one particle through you still get an interference pattern". The important part after 2:45 is that interference pattern post-interaction and only allowing one slit will disappear, BUT if you added the sums back together from your end plate (or whatever) mathematically you'd get an interference pattern again.

So, a completely separate part of a double slit experiment most people never mention but an important one. Pointing out it can still be represented by a wave function - just through one slit. The probabilities remain the same (a distribution) and this does not look like neatly separated blobs as is often falsely shown. Again, this only applies to the part of the experiment where one is measuring the energy (inherently requiring interaction keep in mind) through only one slit.

The reason it's never mentioned is we're so long past the archaic debate over whether some energy "is" a particle or "is" a wave as some ontological thing. Energy can be described as a distribution, a waveform, and interactions localize that energy in a manner that can be described as a point that still obeys a probability distribution of a waveform. No contradiction, no "being two things at once" (another common misunderstanding), and an important part of why the double slit was important to show this.

What part do you feel gaslit by?

I should also point out at the time we did not at first know WHY the probabilities represented as a waveform nor WHY measuring it differently caused things to change - the mistake was in how it was thought about in the first place as with most things. The part she calls "weird" is the fact how you measure it could remove the interference pattern, and I think that's where she fucked up by complying with the "meme". It isn't weird at all. Remove half of a wave and you don't have the half you removed creating an interference pattern. Not weird. Entirely to be expected on that front.

It's just a lot of background or history stuff that gets omitted to make really mundane things seem special or magical to sadly keep people clicking or watching "top 10 universe mysteries" or stupid shit like that. There's nothing unfathomable about any of it.

So the "weird" part historically to physicists EONS AGO was the fact energy behaved like this contrary to expectations of some ontological status of what that energy was. Not the goddamn NOT WEIRD fact you can remove the interference pattern by only measuring one slit.

Again, keep in mind for QM "measurement means interaction by definition". So what is being done is an interaction of some kind that causes some scattering and the result of this is random. THAT is also unexpected for our old physicists. You get an unpredictable, on an individual basis, scattering.

As I've kept trying to clarify, to cut through the BS you really have to go read original sources to find out what people were really talking about. This is especially the case with Feynman, where many misunderstandings arise by myths spread by misunderstanding. Think like a game of chinese telephone. If you can, borrow or read the book "the character of physical law" on Chapter 6 page 136 to page 138. https://archive.org/details/characterofphysi0000feyn_a6t9/page/138/mode/2up?view=theater

As Feynman wrote, "We close one hole, and measure how many come through hole No. 1, and we get the simple curve N_1. Or we can close the other hole and measure how many come through hole No. 2, and we get the N_2 curve. But these two added together do not give the same as N_1+N_2; it does show interference." - chapter 6 page 138 of "The character of physical law" (1965)

We get exactly that, exactly what Feynman says. The important part to understand is you DO still get an interference pattern with one slit if you added up single electrons and Feynman IS NOT saying you do not. That is the colossal misunderstanding people have. Pay special attention to that: The real weird part is that adding together hole #1 and hole #2 does not give you the results of 1+2 but gives you a different interference pattern. This makes perfect sense in terms of waves, and the reason it is written about as if "it makes no sense" is due to philosophers in the 1930s, and scientists, holding wrong beliefs about the necessary consistency of experiments and nature.

Feynman's prediction actually happens, everyone is just completely wrong in relating what the prediction is and completely wrong in explaining everything about it. Individual particles still build up an interference pattern, and the "doubly surprising" thing is the individual particles measured at N_1 and individually measured at N_2 added together do not match both slits open at the same time firing individual particles.

>If you take an electron and wave it up and down in one location 10,000 times, it will propagate away from its body EM radiation thoughout that activity, yes?
Assuming you're doing so with some kind of force, so energy would be lost or hypothetically some kind of friction is applied, yes. Say you have an electron. Without some sort of change, it won't lose energy, so let us whack it with a tiny particle to cause it to lose energy. If it does lose energy, that can be measured as a wave radiating from the particle or described as a particle in and of itself. Such as a photon for example.

>Where is that EM radiation that propagates coming from? Where and in what form is it in the moment before and leading up to the initial electron movement?

The same energy you whacked with a particle, or manipulated in some way. It is not a solid marble, but more like a sticky wave if you want to mentalize it. I often think it is best not to see things in terms of particles, because while things can be described as particles this is only a model. One that works, for some things, but not everything. All of "quantum mechanics" behave in reality like waves, and is perhaps best visualized as some sort of "sticky energy" not as a marble. Probability density may help you here (see image).

It can be described as a particle. In certain conditions, the higher the energy state, it'll better match what the particle model describes. In extremely low energy states, close to absolute zero, seemingly loses that "marble like" structure because it never was one in the first place. It just behaves as one as the more energy it has the more dense it appears. This may help, from "quantum made simple": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Quantum_superposition_of_states_and_decoherence.ogv

electrons by themselves will emit radiation yes, and accelerating them using a magnetic field in a specifically tuned resonator is exactly how microwaves are generated. The deal is that the electrons themselves have to oscillate, they do not emit anything when coupled to matter. microwaves work because the magnetrons guided magnetic field prevents electrons from reaching the anode, thusly the electrons spend time freely about oscillating, speeding up and slowing down and they swing around the magnetic field trying their hardest to make it to the other pole

On testing the simulation theory

Abstract:
Can the theory that reality is a simulation be tested? We investigate this ques-
tion based on the assumption that if the system performing the simulation is finite
(i.e. has limited resources), then to achieve low computational complexity, such a
system would, as in a video game, render content (reality) only at the moment that
information becomes available for observation by a player and not at the moment of
detection by a machine (that would be part of the simulation and whose detection
would also be part of the internal computation performed by the Virtual Reality
server before rendering content to the player). Guided by this principle we describe
conceptual wave/particle duality experiments aimed at testing the simulation theory.

Why are the particles in the detector special vs. all the other particles in the experiment?

Because modern science is fake, we lost fundamental knowledge and ruined it. Electromagnetism fields and waves don't even exist fundamentally.

Everything is a particle. Waves never interact with matter. But where a particle is, and what it interacts with, follows patterns that act like waves. How to intuit it is up to you. You can just see particles as big blurry things until they hit something, or you can see them as tiny particles following superluminal Bohm waves.

That the word "particle" is a misnomer because the fundamental "particles" are actually waves, not the globules you image them as.

Once you start thinking about electrons as waveforms instead of basketballs everything makes more sense.

Everyone saying particles are balls or waves are full of shit. Particles are particles and as such, they have their own unique behaviors and that is exactly the source of confusion from double slit experiment.

It isn't useful or intuitive to teach people this is what electrons are like in reality

That's a 2D animation of a slice of a pilot wave with density plotted on the z axis. It would be nice if this theory was true, but it probably isn't, since it doesn't explain chirality.

Its time to stop posting, you still don't have any proofs.

the problem is that the young havent been guided correctly and now we dont have people willing to take their places or the people who can take the places are horribly inept for the job worse so than the old people who had it before them
