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.
