Like watch this, we can see where we are at; A particle ALWAYS HAS IN REALITY A DEFINITE MOMENTUM AND POSITION.
I say TRUE.
You say ________.
You say false, BECAUSE, YOUR HAHAHAAHA REASONING is, WE CANNOT KNOW A PARTICLES MOMENTUM AND POSITION AT THE SAME TIME, THEREFORE A PARTICLE DOES NOT HAVE A MOMENTUM AND POSITION.
THIS IS BADDDDDDDDDDDDDDD LOGIC. IT IS A LEAP OF FAITH!!!! IT IS ANTI REASONABLE!!!!!

Quantum mechanics doesn't say that either. It says that position and momentum are not the underlying state variables of the dynamics, in contrast to Newtonian Mechanics. So in that sense, a particle doesn't "have" a position and momentum, it has a state vector.
QM says that the state vector evolves in a Hilbert space is, and position and momentum correspond to operators, which in combination with an integration axiom, yield results which in classical limits look like position and momentum.
THIS IS BADDDDDDDDDDDDDDD LOGIC. IT IS A LEAP OF FAITH!!!! IT IS ANTI REASONABLE!!!!!
You say "X is BADDDDDDD LOGIC".
I say, "Experimental evidence is more valuable than your idea of TRVTH." The notion that position and momentum are not part of the underlying dynamical equation of motion (the subject of the time-evolution operator) didn't come about because of logical reasoning, it came about because experimental results bashed people on the head, and some of those heads were not as stubbornly attached to obsolete philosophical assumptions as yours.

an interference pattern is caused not by one particle but by one traveling through two holes
But to get an interference pattern there has two be key word here interference between two particles. This isnt just shooting them at a wall on waiting for a pattern.
So in Bell's inequality experiments will see what happens. The reason its named this is because it shows a number of inequalities that is satisfied in arguments for local hidden variables theories. This shows two main things first CHSH inequality,This shows that certain consequences of entanglement in quantum mechanics cannot be reproduced by local hidden variable theories.
And also shows correlation does not imply causation. This is also a key point showing correlation proves causation is a major point when trying to show hidden variables as you say.
This is a fallacy considered a questionable cause logical fallacy in that two events occurring together are taken to have a cause-and-effect relationship. In classes we teach this fallacy as cum hoc ergo propter hoc, Latin for "with this, therefore because of this", and "false cause".
So now the set up Bell decided in his experiment he needed a pair of spin one-half particles formed in the singlet spin state and moving freely in opposite directions. And that the two particles would travel away from each other to two distant locations where measurements of spin are performed, along axes that are independently chosen. Each measurement yields a result of either spin-up (+) or spin-down (−) showing a positive or negative direction of the chosen axis.The probability of the same result being obtained at the two locations varies, depending on the relative angles at which the two spin measurements are made (angle of the mirrors) and is strictly between zero and one for all relative angles other than perfectly parallel alignments (0° or 180°). So to make this simple we shoot a particle forward and we have two detectors we can move we should easily be able to correlate statistics 0° or 180° Now we should see the results should be between 0 and 1 if we add the spins as being spin-up (+) as +1 and spin-down (−) being −1. What we found in the experiment is we actually got was +2. But this shouldn't be possible however in QM it predicts this outcome because we are dealing with waves. In a real world experiment we should be able to aim it at the detector off the mirror and know where it will go we are controlling it no different than aiming a gun. Problem is particles dont want to play the game because they dont want us to know there location and do not go where we aim them.

Hi ImaFungi, I think I've never replied to any post of yours at least in this thread, sorry.
You are right, a single particle (electron, proton) will never produce an interference pattern in any slit experiment.
It does interact with the barrier however so millions and millions of them will sum up to a pattern.
This wave / particle duality is BS, I know...
it came up as follows (roughly speaking)
Scientists see an EM wave kicking out electrons (photoelectric effect)
they say it must be an particle then, or particle-like
and if a wave is a particle (we know it is not)
they apply it backwards, particle is a wave.
and because of Heisenberg ( his uncertainty principle that works for QM only) localization of an particle is lost
NOW, with those assumptions particles can appear and disappear or travel on two paths simultaneously and do all other QM fancy stuff.
BTW>
i really recommend you to have a look at this video series.
You will see how and why QM is what it is
Ummm no thats not anything like how QM came to the conclusions and the slit doesnt interfere with anything we can show this by blocking one slit
Again take the time to watch it and you wont say stupid things like this.
This alone shoots down your whole theory.

what ?? you know how those patterns appear, do you ?
every slit is an huygens source
"Every point on wave front acts as the source of secondary wavelets that spread out in the forward direction with the same speed as the wave. The new wave front is found by constructing the surface tangent to the secondary wavelets."
and for protons or any other charged particles in those slit experiments they are moving charges.
changing EM field, like one single point on wave front that acts as the source of secondary wavelets that spread out in the forward direction with the same speed as the wave.
Two equal charges repeal each other, and it doesn't matter an atom is declared as charge neutral, sure, on a big scale, but how big really for those moving charge near those matter the slits are made of.
This charge is pushed and pulled by electrons and protons as it passes the slit (and always one and not both), is gets diverted.
Or you show me an interference pattern from a single electron, than I will change my mind
Again take the time to watch it and you wont say stupid things like this.
what ?
This alone shoots down your whole theory.
what theory ? I though we talk how things work and not how virtual angels repeat God's words that is pure energy
Electrons are emitted one by one from the source in the electron microscope. They pass through a device called the "electron biprism", which consists of two parallel plates and a fine filament at the center. The filament is thinner than 1 micron (1/1000 mm) in diameter. Electrons having passed through on both sides of the filament are detected one by one as particles at the detector. This detector was specially modified for electrons from the photon detector produced by Hamamatsu Photonics (PIAS). To our surprise, it could detect even a single electron with almost 100 % detection efficiency.

Of course a single electron creates an interference pattern. See the electron gun fired them one at a time and we continue to do this until we have enough to see the pattern. You cant see a pattern on anything in the universe consisting of just one incident. A pattern by its very nature requires a process to be repeated.

No, youre wrong. A particle always has a position and momentum.
Im not denying the math exists. Im not denying it works at making predictions. Im denying the math is equal to reality, the interpretation of what the equation means.
To me, and to any intelligence, you are claiming the cause of gravity, dropping an apple, is a million invisible angels like to bring objects to the ground.
Then you are making an equation that has to do with your million invisible angels theory, and than because with your equation you can predict outcomes to certan probabilities and certainties, you say "Aha! there must be a million invisible angels!"

The notion that a particle "always has a position and momentum" is also an abstract theory and has specific mathematical consequences (hail Newton!). The notion of even 'a particle' is an abstraction.
You just assert "my theory is right and the other theory is wrong" for no other reason than you want it to be that way.
And you are saying, no there aren't a million invisible angels, there are two invisible toads which you call position and momentum , except the invisible toad theory makes the wrong predictions and the math doesn't work out, but you think it's TRVTH because you said so.

Your right whats your point see QM was modelled after observations made of the universe through experiments. Its not made to tell us why this occurs that is the theory of everything yet to be discovered. So your whole argument is based on the fact QM doesnt tell us why these interactions occur? So itake it you dont believe in gravity either we have modeled it and we can figure out its interactions but we dont know what causes it. So to you is gravity just a figment of our imagination?

Yes. You know this according to that post, so why haven't you learned to deal with this? It's not like you have anything better to offer.

Oh my GOD! I had to stop at 30:47 ... sheesh, incredible. I am so ashamed to be a human, such a great line of thinkers have seen and thought on this earth! Look at these mass produced school boys and their cheep tricks and dim wits!
Do you deny experimental results?
Or you stopped because all the talk about black and hard versus white and soft reminded you too much of a fight you had with your ex?
