    This has to be the funniest comment I have ever seen.

    The human observer is irrelevant, any observation collapses the wave function.

    Its just a glitch. Whoever programmed the universe did a sloppy job. The universe is a pretty damn big program so its understandable they'd overlook a few things. They tried to save on memory by only rendering certain things properly if someone was looking at it.

    =D

    If a tree falls in the woods and there is no one there to hear it, does it make a sound?

    Apparently not according to this theory

    Perfect explanation of VR (virtual reality) theory. In order to conserve system resources, raw data isn't rendered (assembled) until it is required by the system. All matter exists initially as random probability distributions in an ethereal "wave field" until it is needed by a "player." At which point wave functions collapse into particles, and potential matter becomes actualized matter. So when photons are measured (looked at) individually, they "must be" rendered for the observer.

    What is also important to note is the effect of narrowing the slits, which increases the dispersion/diffraction, and narrowing the width between them. Diffraction can occurr solely with a very narrow central post, eg something like a needle or pin fired at with a laser so the slits are not actually necessary to see the wave nature of matter. So forget quantum particles or quantum waves, its all about wavicles!....

    contd - Firing single photons or electrons or "wavicles" and as long as they are not interacted with will produce the diffraction pattern over time because of this em field memory. The detector however has to interact in some way with the wavicle for us to see it, ie it creates its own EM field disturbance, which in turn fundamentally changes the oscillation of the electron/photon field and changes the phase of the wavicle so the diffraction pattern is lost.

    Quantum particles do not exist. What does exist is an all pervading electromagentic field, and photons and electrons are excitations of that field at a particular frequency and direction. Firing "particles" is actually creating disturbances in the field which if split between the slits reintegrate post slit either in or out of phase, creating the diffraction pattern. Embedded in the em field is the track of the previous "excitation" which redirects the next "wavicle".
