Well, I was pondering the double slit experiment a couple of months ago (to essentially solve the phenomena) as I essentially have a gut feeling it is WRONG.
A few days ago an (the) answer jumped into my mind, my subconsciousness must have been grinding away on it (It was bugging me so it was being worked on).
Anyway, take a look at this video and then read my hypothesis below... It doesn't refute that electrons travel in waves, but it does suggest that they equally may not.
YouTube - Dr Quantum - Double Slit Experiment
Ok, I'll work my way through the video explaining what I am interpreting.
At 0.30 Seconds. The marbles are heavy objects. If they were lighter I would expect more dispersion on the back wall.
The second slit with the marbles makes no difference. They travel virtually unchanged in their intended trajectory.
At 1.30 Minutes. Ok, the classic wave interference pattern.
At 2.00 Minutes "An electron is a tiny tiny piece of matter"
At 2.25 - An interference pattern occurring due to firing electrons through the slits.
*This is where I have a big issue with their conclusions*.
The electrons could easily be travelling through the medium "Air" and individually they could be creating their own waves in that medium. As electrons travel through either slit they collectively create waves which then create the pattern. Hence, it is plausible that the electrons do not travel as a wave, it is just the medium they are travelling through creates the waves. (Imagine for instance the electrons creating compression waves as they travel through the medium (air), hence as they pass through the slits these waves become distorted and alter the trajectory of the electrons).
Lets continue...
Hence at 3.05 minutes the electrons being individually fired through the slits still achieve a wave pattern.
Why? Well, if the electrons travelling through a medium create wave patterns then it stands to reason that when the wave hits the other slit it then interacts with the electrons trajectory on the other side.
At 3.15 minutes I personally see low grade scientists coming up with crazy and stupid theories. Sure, anything is possible.. but, surely they should cover the basic scenarios and clear those before asserting wild ideas.
At 3.30 we have the classic math types (who are not imaginative people) who I simply despise. (biggest problem is that imaginative people that science requires are killed off by this sort of process before they ever get a chance to propose new ideas that these math types could never even envisage (Rant)).
At 4.00 They do actually show the electron travelling through the medium with shock waves travelling behind, but these electrons will have a compression wave area directly in front of them as they travel though the medium.
At 4.05. The direct observation has either introduced other interference (light etc) or this isn't science. Looks like there are significant issues with their experimental tests and theres lots of degradation in the "sterile" environment. Sorry, completely rubbish that measuring the outcome and measuring the entry point leads to completely different results.
So, it seems that nothing is proved with the double slit experiment, as they cannot comprehensively measure issues or negate external events affecting the experiment. Sure, the outcome is irrefutable, but the absolute mechanism by how it is achieved is still open for debate.
I believe everything travels as a wave where there is sufficient resistance of the medium they travel through.
Hmmm.. but why does the medium create waves?... now that is interesting. (Effectively Sound, light and every type of energy is creating waves as it traverses between points, but why does energy dissipate as waves? Why does the medium yield in a way that creates waves? (The plausible answer is that everything is connected to varying degrees)... is the path of least resistance the points between the amplitude, with the max amplitude indicating resistance in excess of the dissipating energy wave...hmmmmm).
