4. New Double-Slit Experiment
Next I want to design an experiment to prove my conjecture, and also want to show how confusing the current optics theories are. For a long time, light has been interpreted as waves due to interference and diffraction phenomena, and entity particles have also been interpreted as waves due to the interference of electrons and other particles. There is no such thing as ”wave” in the real world. A ”wave” is just the pattern of movement of a large number of tiny components. Moreover, phenomena such as interference and diffraction of electrons or other particles do not prove that matter has wave property. On the contrary, it proves the corpuscular property of photons. It shows that photons and particles move in the similar way. It’s just that we have been misled by the concept of ”wave” for a long time and have come to a wrong explanation. However, a photon is not a particle too, but a kind of “Force”, which exhibits different behaviours when interacting with matter as compared with particles. When a particle collides with a particle, its momentum will change, but when a photon collides with a particle, the magnitude of the force it carried will not change, only the direction will change.
We can look at the famous double-slit experiment [1] in which we interpret interference fringes as evidence of waves. Photons, electrons, and other larger particles passing through the double slits can produce interference fringes, but such fringes are precisely because the photons or particles collide with the electrons in the edge of the shield slit, causing the direction to be deflected, and then fringes appear on the receiving screen. If we want to prove that the fringes are caused by the deflection of photons when they collide with electrons, rather than the waves, we can change the material at the edge of the shield slit. The aim is to change the arrangement of electrons in the edge, so that the deflection of photons is different after the collision, which will provide different fringes on the receiving screen, as compared with the edges not changed. And then it can be found that the change of the fringes is positively correlated with the structural change of the edge material. Specifically, we can change one edge of each slit, two edges of one slit, or the shape of the edge. The method is to select materials with a large difference in the number of electrons and arrangements of electrons, or to heat or energize the materials in one or two edges. In short, it is to change the edge microstructure, so that it can be proved that the fringes are not caused by particles or photons themselves. It is caused by the interaction of photons with the particles in the edge of the slits. At the same time, it can be found that the results of the double slit experiment between photons and electrons or other particles are different, because the force carried by photons will not be changed, while the momentum of other particles will be changed after they pass through the slits. We can measure the magnitude of photons and particles directly hitting the receiving screen without passing through the double slits, and then measure the magnitude of photons and particles hitting the receiving screen through the double slits, and we can find that the magnitude of photons will not change, but the particles will change, so this proves that photons are neither waves nor particles.
A serious problem with many of our experiments involving microscopic particles is that we are still using the thinking for macroscopic world, that is, the experimenters believe that the experiment is reproducible and the experimental conditions are reproducible. Such an idea is feasible in macroscopic experiments, because changes on the microscopic scale have little impact on macroscopic objects. But for experiments involving microscopic particles, we must realize that the conditions of each experiment are changing, because all experimental sites, environments, equipment and materials, and even experimenters are composed of microscopic particles, and these microscopic particles are in motion all the times. In fact, we are using a large group of constantly moving microscopic particles to measure or manipulate a small group of constantly moving microscopic particles, so the results of such experiments must be different every time. Therefore, for experiments involving microscopic particles, no matter how to control the experimental conditions, there will be some differences, and these differences will lead to variety in experiment results. If we believe that the experimental conditions and processes are exactly the same, and just obtain different results, then we can only use Quantum Theory as an explanation that abandons the law of causality.
