If you place detectors in the middle of the slit the particle is always detected in a single slit. This means the particle physically entered a single slit. To think the particle does not enter a single slit if there aren't detectors in the middle of the slits is absolutely ridiculous absurd nonsense. Q. Why is the particle always detected entering, traveling through or exiting a single slit. A. The particle always enters, travels through and exits a single slit. It is the associated wave in the aether which passes through both. In a double slit experiment the particle travels a well defined path which takes it through one slit. The associated wave in the aether passes through both. As the aether wave exits the slits it creates wave interference. As the particle exits a single slit the direction it travels is altered by the wave interference. This is the wave piloting the particle of pilot-wave theory. Detecting the particle strongly exiting a single slit turns the associated aether wave into chop. The aether waves exiting the slits interact with the detectors and become many short waves with irregular motion. The waves are disorganized. There is no wave interference. The particle pitches and rolls through the chop. The particle gets knocked around by the chop and it no longer creates an interference pattern.

No, it isn't. What is observed is the particle always entering, traveling through and exiting a single slit. And that is where pilot-wave theory is incomplete. There are no such things as hidden variables. Bell's inequality places an invalid constraint on classical physics. You have a pair of dice. They are exact opposites. If you roll one and it is a 6 the other is a 1. If one is a 5 the other is a 2. If one is a 4 the other is a 3. There is a 1 in 6 chance of any die being a particular number. Once you know what that die is you know what the other is. The way Bell's theorem works is it says there is a 1 in 6 chance of the other die being any particular number. Bell's theorem does not take into account what is known about the pair. When a downconverted photon pair are created they are exact opposites. They are created with exact opposite polarizations. They are created with exact opposite angular momentums. When you detect one you know something about the other. The downconverted photon pair are not entangled. The downconverted photon pair do not have hidden variables. They are detected with the spins they are because they are created that way and knowing the spin of one changes your knowledge about what the probability of the spins of the other will be.

The particle is always observed entering, traveling through and exiting a single slit in a double slit experiment. This distinguishes pilot-wave theory from other interpretations since it is the only interpretation supported by what is observed.

Pilot-wave theory uses the same mathematics as other interpretations of quantum mechanics but you don't seem to care. In pilot-wave theory there is a physical particle and a physical wave. In a double slit experiment the particle physically travels through a single slit and the associated physical wave in the aether physically passes through both.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot_wave#The_Pilot_Wave_theory "The Pilot Wave theory is one of several interpretations of quantum mechanics. It uses the same mathematics as other interpretations of quantum mechanics; consequently, it is also supported by the current experimental evidence to the same extent as the other interpretations." It also correctly explains what occurs physically in nature in a double slit experiment where there is a physical particle and a physical wave. The particle travels through a single slit and the associated physical wave passes through both. The physical wave is a wave in the aether.

Please understand in a double slit experiment it is the aether which waves. A week ago you had never even heard of pilot-wave theory. 'Quantum mechanics rule 'bent' in classic experiment' http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-13626587 'For his part, Professor Steinberg believes that the result reduces a limitation not on quantum physics but on physicists themselves. "I feel like we're starting to pull back a veil on what nature really is," he said. "The trouble with quantum mechanics is that while we've learned to calculate the outcomes of all sorts of experiments, we've lost much of our ability to describe what is really happening in any natural language. I think that this has really hampered our ability to make progress, to come up with new ideas and see intuitively how new systems ought to behave."' http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=new-double-slit-experiment-skirts-uncertainty-principle "Intriguingly, the trajectories closely match those predicted by an unconventional interpretation of quantum mechanics known as pilot-wave theory, in which each particle has a well-defined trajectory that takes it through one slit while the associated wave passes through both slits." A particle physically displaces the aether. A moving particle has an associated aether displacement wave. In a double slit experiment the particle enters and exits a single slit. It is the associated wave in the aether which passes through both. As the aether wave exits the slits it creates wave interference. As the particle exits a single slit the direction it travels is altered by the wave interference. This is the wave piloting the particle of pilot-wave theory. Strongly detecting the particle turns the associated aether wave into chop. The particle gets knocked around by the chop and continues on the path it is traveling. What waves in a double slit experiment is the aether. "It is ironic that Einstein's most creative work, the general theory of relativity, should boil down to conceptualizing space as a medium when his original premise [in special relativity] was that no such medium existed [..] The word 'ether' has extremely negative connotations in theoretical physics because of its past association with opposition to relativity. This is unfortunate because, stripped of these connotations, it rather nicely captures the way most physicists actually think about the vacuum. . . . Relativity actually says nothing about the existence or nonexistence of matter pervading the universe, only that any such matter must have relativistic symmetry. [..] It turns out that such matter exists. About the time relativity was becoming accepted, studies of radioactivity began showing that the empty vacuum of space had spectroscopic structure similar to that of ordinary quantum solids and fluids. Subsequent studies with large particle accelerators have now led us to understand that space is more like a piece of window glass than ideal Newtonian emptiness. It is filled with 'stuff' that is normally transparent but can be made visible by hitting it sufficiently hard to knock out a part. The modern concept of the vacuum of space, confirmed every day by experiment, is a relativistic ether. But we do not call it this because it is taboo." - Robert B. Laughlin, Nobel Laureate in Physics, endowed chair in physics, Stanford University "According to the general theory of relativity space without ether is unthinkable; for in such space there not only would be no propagation of light, but also no possibility of existence for standards of space and time (measuring-rods and clocks), nor therefore any space-time intervals in the physical sense." - Albert Einstein The relativistic ether referred to by Laughlin is the ether which propagates light referred to by Einstein. What waves in a double slit experiment is the relativistic ether of general relativity.

The maths do not describe the physical phenomena. The maths to do describe what occurs physically in nature. You can say what you like about physics but the fact you can not differentiate between the maths and what actually occurs physically in nature in a double slit experiment is evidence physics is not working. What physically waves in a double slit experiment?
-
Do maths wave? Do maths physically exist? In a double slit experiment the aether physically waves.
-
The maths define what is physically probable of being observed. The maths define what is physically possible of being observed. The maths do not describe what is occurring physically in nature. The maths do not describe what is occurring physically in nature in a double slit experiment. Do maths physically wave? Do maths physically exists? Of course not. The aether physically exists. The aether physically waves. In a double slit experiment it is the aether which waves.

I'm sorry but your understanding of what physical means is flawed. The following is a correct physical explanation of what occurs physically in nature in a double slit experiment. A particle physically displaces the aether. A moving particle has an associated aether displacement wave. In a double slit experiment the particle enters and exits a single slit. It is the associated wave in the aether which enters and exits both slits. As the aether wave exits the slits it creates wave interference. As the particle exits a single slit the direction it travels is altered by the wave interference. This is the wave piloting the particle of pilot-wave theory. Strongly detecting the particle turns the associated aether wave into chop. The particle gets knocked around by the chop and continues on the path it is traveling. In a double slit experiment it is the aether which physically waves. Maths do not physically exist. Maths do not physically wave. What physically waves in a double slit experiment? Maths? Of course not. The aether physically waves.

As I thought. You can't. How is it you think you know so much and mainstream physics is so correct when you can't explain something as simple as what occurs physically in nature in a double slit experiment? 'Quantum mechanics rule 'bent' in classic experiment' http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-13626587 'For his part, Professor Steinberg believes that the result reduces a limitation not on quantum physics but on physicists themselves.

That's what occurs physically in nature in a double slit experiment regardless of how much of a state of denial you exist in. What waves in a double slit experiment is the aether.

I understand a moving particle has an associated aether displacement wave. I understand in a double slit experiment the particle travels through a single slit and the associated wave in the aether passes through both. Can someone explain the accepted mainstream explanation of what occurs physically in nature in a double slit experiment so I can be better off?
-
That's not what I am saying at all. I am saying the fact that mainstream physics accepts the notion that particles exist in an infinite number of universes simultaneously (many-worlds) means mainstream physics is completely screwed up. You are not better off learning something as absurd as many-worlds. The fact that many-worlds is an accepted theory shows how incredibly screwed up mainstream physics is. This is very simple. If mainstream physics is on the right track and we are better off learning accepted theories such as many-worlds then you should be able to explain what occurs physically in nature in a double slit experiment. The fact that you can't explain something as simple as what occurs physically in nature in a double slit experiment yet accept we are better off just accepting the accepted theories is evidence of how screwed up mainstream physics is. In other words, you're making my point.
-
By "better off" it means not thinking for yourself. It means believing in absurd nonsense such as particles exist in an infinite number of universes instead of understanding the obvious.
