there is only ever one photon in the apparatus at a time
your still stuck on electrons, the experiment can be done with more then just electrons as i've said
But if they try to find out by setting up detectors in front of each slit to determine which slit the photon really goes through, the interference pattern doesn't show up at all. This is true even if they try setting up the detectors behind the slits. No matter what the scientists do, if they try anything to observe the photons, the interference pattern fails to emerge.
What is weird is that when you do a search online and ask 'Are protons and electrons to small to see' - the answer is yes even with the strongest microscopes they cannot be seen!!!!

So intrptr is correct!!
Wow - I did not know that. How come scientists speak about these things that no one has ever seen - are they just an assumption? How do they know they even exist?

Scientists have placed a camera by the slits to see which slit and how many 'whatever' is passing through.
Did you actually go to any of the links that NobodiesNormal posted up for you?

The eye of providence is Masonic, also used by Catholics over the years
The Eye of Providence (or the all-seeing eye of God) is a symbol showing an eye often surrounded by rays of light or a glory and usually enclosed by a triangle. It represents the eye of God watching over humanity (or divine providence).[1][2][3]
...
Religious use
The association of an eye with the concept of Divine Providence did not emerge until well into the Christian Era. In Renaissance European iconography the eye surrounded by a triangle was an explicit image of the Christian Trinity.
...
In 1782, the Eye of Providence was adopted as part of the symbolism on the reverse side of the Great Seal of the United States.
...
Today, the Eye of Providence is often associated with Freemasonry. The Eye first appeared as part of the standard iconography of the Freemasons in 1797, with the publication of Thomas Smith Webb's Freemasons Monitor.[7] Here, it represents the all-seeing eye of God...
