SELFPROOF 0614 - DOUBLE SLIT EXPERIMENTCURRENT PARADIGM
-
The modern DOUBLE SLIT EXPERIMENT is a demonstration that light and matter can display characteristics of both classically defined waves and particles; moreover, it displays the fundamentally probabilistic nature of quantum mechanical phenomena. The original experiment was performed by Davisson and Germer in 1927. A simpler form of the double-slit experiment was performed by Thomas Young in 1801 (well before quantum mechanics). He believed it demonstrated that the wave theory of light was correct, and his experiment is sometimes referred to as Young's experiment or Young's slits.
The experiment belongs to a general class of "double path" experiments,
in which a wave is split into two separate waves that later combine
into a single wave. Changes in the path lengths of both waves result in a
phase shift, creating an interference pattern. Another version is the Mach–Zehnder interferometer, which splits the beam with a mirror. In the basic version of this experiment, a coherent light source, such as a laser
beam, illuminates a plate pierced by two parallel slits, and the light
passing through the slits is observed on a screen behind the plate. The
wave nature of light causes the light waves passing through the two
slits to interfere,
producing bright and dark bands on the screen — a result that would not
be expected if light consisted of classical particles.However, the
light is always found to be absorbed at the screen at discrete points,
as individual particles (not waves), the interference pattern appearing
via the varying density of these particle hits on the screen.
Furthermore, versions of the experiment that include detectors at the
slits find that each detected photon passes through one slit (as would a classical particle), and not through both slits (as would a wave). However, such experiments
demonstrate that particles do not form the interference pattern if one
detects which slit they pass through. These results demonstrate the
principle of wave–particle duality. (Wikipedia - 29 Jul 2017)
MALTA TEMPLATE
COMMENTARY
The
double-slit experiments are taken as establishing that light has the
characteristics of both particles and waves. Attempts at explaining
what actually happens in a double-slit experiment are hampered by
lacking crucial
information, a
consequence of the devolutionary nature of Current Paradigm research. The
evolutionary Malta Template has enough information to be able to draw up a description that
matches reality. To understand what happens in a double slit experiment it is necessary to know that: It
is also necessary to know of the environment within which the
experiment is carried out - assuming it to be in a room on the
surface of Planet Earth:
- the double-slit panel consists of solidbonded nuclides.
- the photon receiving screen consists of solidbonded nuclides.
- the atmosphere in the room consists of gasbonded nucleons, nuclides and nuclide composites (O2, N2, etc).
- the sub-atmosphere of the room consists of gravitons.
- there are also neutrinos, electrons, pettyblackholes, etc but these are ignored for this selfproof.
- gravitons are insubstantial and easily able to pass between nucleons and nuclides.
- gravitons are not subject to any form of cosmological speed limit.
- some of the gravitons are emissions from nucleons and nuclides as part of their stabilisation processes.
- the rest of the gravitons enter the room and leave it as part of a gravitonstream.
- the gravitonstream is part of Planet Earth's gravitonosphere.
- the gravitonstream has a high dynamic mass and can move faster than lightspeed.
The
photons in the experiment have to cope with a constant bombardment
of gravitons. When a stable photon absorbs a graviton it absorbs
measures of energy and mass - notably, it absorbs proportionately
more energy than mass which understabilises the photon. The stabilisation mechanism promptly reacts and ejects enough energy and mass to restabilise the photon. The
stabilisation mechanism is the photon's gravitonosphere and it is
very efficient, being able to handle a prodigious absorption of
gravitons. The gravitonosphere of a photon, being centrifugal,
takes the form of a pair of vertical vortexes that surround the
gravitoncore. Each vortex upwells at the equator and then moves to
the poles, one to the north and one to the south. Each then downwells
at its pole and moves at low level back to the equator from where
it upwells again to repeat the cycle again and again. When additional
gravitons are absorbed, the
differential increase in mass and energy increases the speed of
the equatorial upwelling so that the vergence velocity of some gravitons exceeds the escape velocity
of the photon. The number of gravitons ejected in this way is just
enough to return the mass and energy of the photon to stability. Because the photon is constantly absorbing prodigious
numbers of gravitons, it is constantly ejecting prodigious numbers
of gravitons. Thus it is that the equator of
the photon becomes a plenum above which
is an annular exhaust. The fastest of the escaping gravitons go
straight up while those with progressively less speed
commensurately arc toward one or other of the poles. In this way,
the photon is almost wholly surrounded by a "rejective shield" of energetically escaping
gravitons that extends far beyond the photon's gravitysheath. It is this rejective shield that gives the photon particle its wavelike behaviour. - When photons are produced in large numbers, it is the rejective shields that prevent them from coming too close to each other.
- When
photons are fired into a slit, it is the rejective shields that dictate
how many photons can fit into the slit at the same time.
- When photons emerge from a slit, it is the rejective shields that force the photons to fan out.
- When photons emerge from a pair of slits, it is the rejective shields that dictate the interference patterns that will form.
- When photons are allowed to enter one slit only, gravitons from the rejective shields will enter the other slit.
One point should be strongly made. The nuclides that make up the walls of the slits all have gravitypulls, gravitysheaths, axiality,
and chemospheres. Consequently, as photons pass through the slits
they are affected by the nuclides and in return they affect the nuclides. An
extension to the double-slit experiment will be of value. The
dynamic mass of the
gravitonstreams in the Earth's gravitonosphere decreases with distance
from the planet's centre of gravity as kineticenergy transmutes to potentialenergy. Because of this, in a photon
of a specific wavelength, the rejectivity and the extent of
its rejective shield will also decrease with distance from the
centre of gravity. Double-slit experiments with same wavelength photons, performed at
progressively
greater distances from the planet's centre of gravity will result in measurably
tighter interference patterns. This is not predicted in the Current
Paradigm so, if it can be confirmed, can be taken as circumstantial
evidence that the Malta Template is perhaps correct.
CONCLUSION
There
has never yet been a forensic examination of a photon
so there is no empirically confirmed description of a
photon's inner workings against which the Malta Template
description
can be compared. This means the only comparison can be
with known photonic behaviour and here the Template does
selfprove in that its photons do indeed behave as do the real
photons employed in
double-slit experiments.There are caveats in that some phenomena
noted
during some recent double-slit experiments are not readily
explained
by the above description. These will soon be dealt with in
their own
selfproofs - and if the selfproofs cannot resolve them
the description will be reconsidered.
