Through the Wormhole : Double-slit experiment

I was watching another explanation of Wave-particle duality on the
show "Through the Wormhole. The show shows a wave pattern on the
screen then they show a crude drawing of someone putting a detector
beside the slits and just doing that causes the photons to go through
one slit or another.

Why don't they show the actual experiment that demonstrates how the
experiment changes just by putting a detector beside the slits changes
the pattern?

BTW there seems to be no active quantum Usenet group.

Slit shows that particles travel in pairs. They hit the screen
separated by that sharp edge,but still in comunication with one
another so they will get back in formation almost instantly. Its
simple so it must be reality TreBert

Because it's hocus pocus.

There's lots of quantum stuff as in in Usenet/newsgroups, but you have
to understand that outsiders are not welcome, and all K-12s are
systematically banished regardless of their topics or replies.

If a standing wave that doesn't actually move can still manage to
transfer its energy, then why do photon waves have to individually
travel or propagate?

They show an illustration of the actual experiment's outcome. And
that demonstrates how the outcome of the experiment changes just by
putting a detector near the slits.

So there must be something about the proximity of the detector,
something about the detector itself, perhaps, that causes the wave
pattern to change to the particle pattern. My own personal guess,
since magnetic force and electronic force have both been ruled out,
and since we still know very little about fields of gravitation, my
guess is that the detector possesses a tiny gravitational field that
forces the particle back into particle mode and out of wave mode.

BTW there seems to be no active quantum Usenet group.

This is it!

What would happen if they were to place an identical detector at an
identical location relative to each slit. Which detector would shoo
the fly away and make it go through the other slit?

You are assuming that individual photons individually move, so right
there it gets somewhat problematic.

My thinking is that photons aren't in the form of a discrete little
entity of condensed energy, but, are a somewhat smeared out smudge of
energy made up of fields such as gravity, electromagnetic, and some
other fields that we haven't yet figured out. If this smudge of energy
approaches a slit, the path it will take through the slit will be
determined by the way those smudged out fields interact with the slit
and any other material that may be in the region. This could be many
things...but, we don't know what those things are.

Exactly, but it's fun to speculate and try to make sense of how the
known universe came to be, and how it is affected by its composition
that happens to include us humans that seems to have developed a LLPOF
disposition because that's so much easier than dealing with the whole
truth and nothing but the truth.
