Merged I killed Duality and Uncertainty for a Theory of Everything

ETA: it is a real shame that LaTeX used to work but hasn't been fixed for years. This is an instance where it would be invaluable to aid in discussion.

That is annoying. I wonder if it can be fixed.
 
Quote the single electron double slit experiment part of your original OP

The original OP broke the forum rules you agreed to on joining this forum and had to be edited by an admin. Thus we only can read what is in the existing OP.

Since you assert that you answered my single electron double slit experiment question in your original OP, it will be easy to answer this question.

However, not all of it if you have pages and pages of mathematics and physics about the single electron double slit experiment.

Alternately link to your mathematics and physics on the single electron double slit experiment.

Why don't you just answer the question directly?

In any case I recall that the original OP did not show how your theory explains that electrons emitted one at a time build up an interference pattern as though they were waves.

I am not sure how the path assignment is supposed to happen.

Say we have a photon emitted near a pane of glass and a detector at the reflection position but no detector at the pass-through position.

The probability that it will arrive at the detector (rather than pass through) obviously depends in a non-monotonic way upon the thickness of the glass but also on the energy of the photon. So how can a path be assigned before the wave/particle switch has been made when the path depends upon both wave properties (frequency) and particle properties (triggering the detector at a particular time and place)?

Also, you haven't addressed this. It would help if we knew something of your theory beyond a brief summary.

I remember vaguely the time around when it 'broke' but I don't recall the reason for not actually fixing it. I think it was a case of passing the buck but perhaps I'm being uncharitable in my recall.

Anyway, after perusing the link in the OP, I see now that even if LaTeX were functional, pittsburghjoe has no real foundational mathematical knowledge anyway.

There is no "abbe diffraction limit of matter", pittsburghjoe.
The Abbe diffraction limit is light traveling thru a medium with refractive index and converging to a spot. It is why microscopes have a limit on the size of objects they can resolve.

Spacetime is the mathematics used to give positions and times to objects. Spacetime would exist even if the Abbe diffraction limit did not exist. The space and time parts of spacetime existed thousands of years ago, e.g. Euclidean space. Newton used space and time.

A bad choice of words. Particles do not "reassess" their states, pittsburghjoe. In physics objects obey laws. Drop a rock and it will fall with an acceleration of g. A rock will not suddenly decide to float up like a balloon :D.

if it's pass-through ..it doesn't count as tunneling

The first mention of tunneling in the thread, pittsburghjoe.
Quantum tunneling is fairly easy to understand and taught in first year physics university courses. Consider a particle in a finite potential well with an energy that makes it impossible for the particle to escape that well in classical physics. Apply QM. There is a finite probability of finding the particle outside of the well. Now look at the real world where such particles and tunneling actually exists!
Quantum tunnelling plays an essential role in several physical phenomena, such as the nuclear fusion that occurs in main sequence stars like the Sun.[1] It has important applications in the tunnel diode,[2] quantum computing, and in the scanning tunnelling microscope. The effect was predicted in the early 20th century, and its acceptance as a general physical phenomenon came mid-century.[3]

That "pass-through" is a synonym for tunneling. A particle that tunnels through a barrier, passes through the barrier.

Indeed. One of the other forums spammed has closed the thread as the content had not reached the stage of speculation...

But here at the ISF, we'll keep this thread open till the end of time as we do with other outstanding examples. :wackyjiggy:

We all function on this forum under the same rules.

The forum is not going to grant you special powers. If you can't work within the rules here, perhaps here is not the place for you.

This is a discussion forum. If you are not willing to discuss your claims, perhaps this is not the place for you.

The people you are refusing to discuss your ideas with are well versed in the topics you say you want to discuss. Use this opportunity to learn. The more you discuss and learn, the move folks like me will also learn right along with you.
