| Dec 2, 2020 at 22:49 | comment | added | Neej | In the original two-slit expt, is it possible that particle trajectories could be correlated in time, not spatially, and still provide the same pattern? If a particle passing through a diaphragm slit left an echo in the vibrations of the diaphragm that gets passed to the next particle in the sequence. But assuming the diaphragm is the culprit could be wrong if it veiled a previously hidden field effect, e.g. particles leaving wakes in a background field, or something not seen before. Links to experimental results that rule out correlation in time would be appreciated. Thx to all. | |

What is meant by the historical meaning of "interference" i.e. a sort of cancelling of energy, only gives you a superficial/outdated understanding. "Interference" is better replaced by acceptable paths or Feynman theory, certain paths resonate based on path length and photon energy. | |

Removed confusing term that doesn't really add anything to the question.
