scifimath Posted August 24, 2019 Posted August 24, 2019 It seams to only matter if a detector is placed that allows the particle to continue moving on its path.
Strange Posted August 24, 2019 Posted August 24, 2019 All that matters is whether there are one or two slits available. (Measuring “which slit” information effectively forces it to go through a single slit.) The way the interference pattern is detected is not really relevant. You get the same with any wave phenomenon. BTW there is a lot more to science. Why don’t you discuss something else?
scifimath Posted August 24, 2019 Author Posted August 24, 2019 You getting defensive tells me I'm on to something. It is relevant because it is saying it only matters what happens while the particle is moving.

But then again, if it is not moving it has hit the detector to form the pattern.
scifimath Posted August 24, 2019 Author Posted August 24, 2019 (edited) It knows if a detector has been put in its path before it even starts. Edited August 24, 2019 by scifimath
swansont Posted August 24, 2019 Posted August 24, 2019 You affect interference if you can determine “which path” information. The final screen doesn’t do that. 2 minutes ago, scifimath said: It knows if a detector has been put in its path before it even starts. !
