At about :20 into this video he contradicts himself. He says "the particle has a probability of going through one or the other, I mean both." Let's get Aristotle in here.

If it goes through both, then the "probability distribution" is nothing more than the wave interference. Wave interference is absolute, not probabilistic. The problem of particle/wave duality remains unsolved.

@marce11o,

Your premise: "If a particle goes through both.." is an oxymoron...a logical contridiction...a PARTICLE cannot go through both. However, a posistion probability distribution spanning both slits ("peobability wave") can go through both.

The Copenhagen interpretation doesn't give you any eigenstate of collapse with equal probability! The collapse happens with a probability that is proportional to the wavefunction's projection on any given eigenstate. That's Max Born's principle and it explains exactly why you see statistical order and causal tendencies in large ensembles of particles.

Not sure if this Thomas Campbell fellow knows his basic physics. Sorry.

You are correct -- I didn't say that very well. Making the words up as you go in a live presentation and eliminating techno-speak on the fly sometimes leads to technical errors and a garbled sentence or two. Hopefully, such errors of technical detail make little difference to the bigger picture concepts being presented.

Thanks for putting the record straight and clearing up that error.

Tom

Don't dismiss what goes over your head.

wtf? ima show u this chart. you cant see it, i cant see it. but im gonna show it to you anyway, because i want to show you it.

@twcjr44 That's what you said.  You said "it goes through both." The premise that an interference pattern is a "probability distribution" is just an assumption AND a contradiction. It has to be either/or - an interference pattern OR a "probability distribution". That's why they're doing the experiment in the first place - is it a particle or a wave? Also, how exactly are we aiming this gun at the slits? Is trajectory not a factor? Why?

[alexeevic]

What about the Uncertainty Principle? Why are only the "spiritual" aspects of physics taken into account?

@mrblackaliens Holy shit you're autistic

Great topic...but...good lord he sounds bored with himself.

@mrblackaliens what if death is the cure, man, an escape from this vessel that traps us in the objective subdivision of reality *takes another hit from pipe*
