The Illusion of Quantum Mechanics: A Critique and Reflection on the Mainstream Interpretation of the Double-Slit Experiment
preprint
OA: closed
Abstract
The double-slit experiment, as a cornerstone experiment of quantum mechanics, has long been regarded as the ultimate proof of wave-particle duality. However, results from high-precision experiments conducted in recent years by teams including Tonomura and Bach, as well as from the "recoiling slit" experiment by Jianwei Pan's team, have revealed profound contradictions with mainstream quantum mechanical interpretations. These contradictions expose systematic biases in conceptual definitions and the interpretation of physical mechanisms within the mainstream narrative. Based on particle flow scattering theory and incorporating the design details and results of Pan's team's experiment, this paper critiques the mainstream quantum mechanical narrative that mystifies the "cumulative effect of particle flow scattering" as "wave-particle duality" and "wave function collapse." It argues that the essence of the bright and dark fringes in the double-slit experiment is the statistical distribution of particles after their interaction with slit matter, rather than wave interference. Research indicates that the core dilemma of mainstream quantum mechanical interpretation stems from a misreading of the physical essence of experiments and conceptual confusion. Reconstructing a physical picture based on classical scattering theory and statistical laws is the inevitable path for quantum mechanics to overcome its interpretational predicament.
