CAN THE TWO SLIT EXPERIMENT MAKE ANY SENSE

Nature likes to balance things out. As we found out in Relativity, matter and energy can change back and forth. The fact that waves can act like particles and particles can act like waves is the same kind of thing. Some people even think that everything is waves, and particles aren't solid at all, only different frequencies.

Appendix A: 03 Order

In a separate experiment, by sending X-rays against a graphite block, scientists discovered the rays bouncing back to have a lower frequency. Wave theory can't explain why, but bundles like photons can. Frequency relates to photon momentum. The photons in the experiment lost some momentum bouncing against that block lowering the frequency, so an electron with a certain momentum also has a wave associated with it of a certain frequency; even a moving cat has a related wave. Since the cat is much bigger than an electron with so much more momentum, the frequency is way too high to measure. If you don't think a cat has much momentum, try holding it while giving it a pill.

Based on quantum mechanics, I have a theory about cats and their nine lives. Instead of having one life after another, I believe cats live them all at once. While you see one sleeping on the couch in particle form, its chances-are map spreads the cat out eight more times all over the universe, and other people see the cat hunting for mice in Asia. Probably. This is a good theory because it also explains why your cat sleeps so much. But enough about reality.

Has anyone explained the two slit fantasy? Some attempts at an explanation are more bizarre than others: One proposal says we live in parallel universes; if we see the atoms go straight through in one universe, then in others, they act like waves implying copies of us exist in an infinite number of universes. Do you have a problem with that?
