Well, folks,Witchdoctor told you, it is a glove question.
As WD is aware, the question to why the bars in the slit experiment fade out on left and right is not answered for real. Even worse, nobody seems to care. Hmmm?
Even worse, what happens on the Top ledger and on the Bottom part of the slit? If we picture a slit as a real cut in some material, there are not only 2 parts of the slit- the left and right , but there are 4, also the top and the bottom ! If you are shooting between the 2 blocks with the theoretically infinite height, no top or bottom,and do not care what happens on the op or the bottom, then its fine, but then why you make such a fuss out of this?!.
So, even the screen registering the collapse of the wave function is a cut out,a portion, it is only a part of the picture and the top and the bottom interference is missing as a pattern on the screen!
Wd told you, every picture tells a story and a bad picture tells no story.
The Slit is a door and as all doors it has 4 sides. Or it is a circle, a pentagram , hexagram, octagon, pentagon 🙂 or any shape you like. Have you thought, any shape. And there are angles between the sides!
It is easy to say that this fading of bars is due to the canceling out – the interference of the wave, Wrong, there is no canceling out on the far left or right side, it is quite the opposite, the canceling does not occur in the far sides,, the bars are for themselves the result of the canceling effect.-the wavelike nature of the beam-, but not the fading of the bars at the left and right end of the bars…
They say,the fringe intensity – fading of the bars-decreases because the light of the slit is not uniform?
OK. There is only one explanation to lost intensity, which means wavelength, hopefully as in the above statement;
The lost intensity on the left , right upper and lower side is a proof of the Pilot Wave. A local Pilot Wave.And if this is a proof, then we are in a big Quantum Mechanics Muddle, again and even more, in a stratospheric muddle from the big bang on…
Lets visualize this through this example and lets take into account only two sides, the left and the right and so stay in the mainstream;
The Fire in the Building and the escape through the door
The Fire bell rings and a few hundred people in the building rush to a Door.
It is a complete mess. The uniform push. The queue and wavering of the crowd which tries to escape through the Door.
Now, WD knows the scientists are not in the crowd, since they have predicted it all before.. They have never witnessed the rush to a door and the consequences of this rush.
What happens in the rush and who tries to get first through a door? As in any flow of this kind, the center flow-middle of the door- will go out first and in bigger numbers, they will start to scatter left and right after passing the slit.
BUt, what happens to the people staying at the edges of the flow and not being able to enter the mainstream flow?
Some of them will just bounce off the slit but, and here is the reason of the fading after of the bars on the screen, some will be stuck and will start piling on the left and right edge of the door. People staying on the edge of the left and right side of the door, piling and pressing each other and not able to enter the central flow.
They loose momentum and almost come to a standstill, waiting to sneak in the central flow going through the door and at least make some of the main scatter pattern on the screen which photographs the impact after the door-slit.
They loose momentum, but as they are people with their own momentum, they use their own energy to sneak and enter the door and get through with a push with the main flow.
When and if they succeed, they scatter far left or far right after the door, since they will not and do not need to join the main flow,since they have escaped from the fire!
Or maybe the pilot wave scatters the passing elements….in a sense of least effort.
So, thats it. That is why the bars on the left and right side, which register the passing of the beam-the human flow in this case- of the Quantum mechanics slit experiment fade on the ends.
Now, dear 2 QM readers of value and intelligence, this case of fire in the building deals with people passing through the slit, which means Particles and not waves. Or better, the wave /particle duality here deals and is depicted more as atoms than electrons. But the Fact is that both atoms and electrons show the Same Pattern when hitting the slit and this is being registered on the screen as a scatter pattern.
In fact, forgetting the fluid representation of propagating waves in QM, since it is not accurate, it is mostly some simplified bollocks, the wave, or as it should be- THE PROBABILITY AMPLITUDE- hits also the edge of the door while passing. It looses “intensity” when hitting the edge of the door. Looses the “original “, incoming wavelength when hitting at the edge of the slit-door.And after? Ok, some stay out of the door, bouncing on the slit, but THE others are SUCKED IN, even if they have an almost null momentum or they have a different wavelength than the majority- the central flow!That is why the light at the edges after the slit experiment ,shown on the screen, is faded, and that is why it is not uniform in all bars shown..
If this is not a proof of the Pilot Wave , than, what else do you need?
The situation gets worse and worse, for the mainstream explanation of the Collapse Of the Wave Function:
If the photons or atoms, or electrons are “delayed” at the edges of the slit in passing as it seems from the scatter distribution on the screen and the fringe fading effect is the only plausible cause of this,,and are sucked in by the central flow, then we have not ONE but more PSI Functions passing through. And we have the Local Pilot wave which leads out our team of refugees and fugitives!And the Pilot Wave is an organized escape team which counts in different layers and flows with different momentum.
In fact the slit experiment, seen from this perspective, has a bounding inherent binding force which is produced by? Entanglement and superposition? And this is a Quantum gravity?
The same applies when firing through the slit only one electron, and its probability amplitude.
Even the last 3 slits QM experiment shows the same peaks and distribution.
The same applies to the wave like explanation. The Probability Amplitude hits the slit, it changes amplitude at the edges, and the scatter of the FADING BARS APPEARS.
Now, if one watches the flow of the water with momentum-some speed- passing through the slits in the river bed, one notices the whirpool , a swirl of flow at the edges of the slit..
So, the result; more than one wavefunction because of the edges of the slit, and a Pilot wave which sucks the possible in his reach and reaches out for the electrons or whatever at the edges, which have almost null momentum ,them piling and being stuck up at the edges- left and right- and wait to pass through by being sucked in. The entanglement and superposition at work as the Characteristics of the Pilot Wave!.
But the Pilot wave is not an uniform factor and there is more into it than the mainstream thinks.
If we add to the 2 edges a picture with more edges, left, right,top and bottom or anything you like, we get a fading bars picture in all directions.
Now, we are in the realm of he Implicate Order. David Bohm.
And the De Broglie Bohm theory and Bell.
And we are also in the muddle of wave particle duality.As WD already wrote, the duality is resolved at the impact. But since they work in the same way…. The empty wave function? Mah, forget it.
Strange, why this joke pops up in this muddle,
Schlomo ,Yankele , financialization or the QM end of the road parable
Once upon the time, Yankele wanted to help Schlomo in making some money, since Schlomo was completely broke. So he explained to Schlomo that he will send him a huge stock of tinned fish and that stock of tinned fish at the current situation in time is the best thing to sell and make money out of it.
Schlomo was ecstatic, finally he saw a light at the end of the tunnel of his miserable life.
He thanked Yankele profusely and started to stock the tinned goods.
One days, being hungry, he opened one of the thinned fish conserves for lunch. The smell coming out from the tin can was awful! The fish inside was completely rotten.He run to Yankele˙s home ,completely agitated and frustrated, and started to shout at him.
“ Yankele, you are a bastard! You gave me a completely rotten load of tinned fish! You want me dead!”
Yankele looked at him and coldly said;
“ Schlomo, you are more than a schmuck.You are a thicko. I told you, this tinned fish is for selling! It is for selling and buying! It is not for eating!”
“You have asked me to help you make some money, not to eat tinned fish! This tins are only for buying and selling and that is how you make the money!”
Well folks, that is Quantum, today.Do not open the tin.
And that is the debt driven economy and financialization, Today, Swaps, CDS, derivatives…. the same, it is not for eating, it is for making money.
The last mistery, a Biblical one, and the most misteriously funny one;
Why God took a day off after the creation?
The Almighty got tired, or maybe depressed, seeing the outcome, especially the human parasite?
