Michael McMahon Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 (edited) They say an electron is either a bubble or a wave but how do you know an electron isn’t just a bubble in a sea of electrons?! That way the observer effect might make slightly more sense because the act of observation would burst or split an electron bubble. Could an electron have surface tension around an inner empty space much like the bubbles in a lava lamp? A candle light always burns upwards even if you bend a candle stick diagonally much like how geotropism dictates that the roots of a tree grow vertically downwards even on a steep mountain slope. So a candle flame is attracted to the more diffuse air above. Were light a heavy particle then much like a gradual bullet drop after firing it should eventually fall to the ground. Yet light shone horizontally from a lighthouse would sink to the water after hundreds of miles due to refraction at the horizon much like Snell’s window rather than gravity due to a less dense upper atmosphere. As such light is almost repellent against gravity where light moves faster shone upwards to less dense air much like the phototropism of the leaves growing in the opposite direction of the roots. The way there’s a faint blue tint at the base of the vertical candle flame on a slanted candle mimics a momentary blue-shift as if light immediately travels at such high speeds due to tiny colour changes in frequency. (Horizontal Ancient Egyptian dog in the background to add context!) One way to interpret the quantum double slit experiment through the lens of classical mechanics might be if a torch was shone through a double slit rather than a laser beam. So even though there’d only be two light beams with a shadow between them after a torch double slit experiment then much like the two raised metal beams of a train track meeting at the horizon so too could the split torch beam meet at the horizon. When this happens could there be destructive and constructive interference patterns much like how a distant star in the night sky looks smaller due to perspective allowing more stars to be seen. Incidentally I formed some of these ideas on a quite country road last night where the magical stars exposed the desolation of underused misty agricultural fields ripe for collectivism. An ironic advantage of socialism is that studying and working non-stop is actually compatible with the humble idea of having never studied or worked seeing as anyone harder working might be incomparable due to a spiral effect. By contrast those who might underwork in communism or capitalism or those who study less hard are at risk of even thinking they’d worked relative to stronger people. As such socialism can resemble an aura of counterbalanced evil in any capitalistic or communist genres! No wonder two police guarda stopped me in their car to see how I was doing knowing that I’d ventured too far from my hometown of Ennis to the neighbouring aloof village of Clarecastle en route towards the posh hotels and big country estates of Newmarket! Who knows if my theories in science are impartially helped by having never been biased by studying more mainstream theories!

Apologies I was over-excited by a potential revolution in philosophical semantics where at the beginning I was meant to say a particle or a wave!

swansont Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 ! Moderator Note You’ve been warned before about this analogy-laden, science-lite posting style. It needs to stop. 24 minutes ago, Michael McMahon said: One way to interpret the quantum double slit experiment through the lens of classical mechanics might be if a torch was shone through a double slit rather than a laser beam !
