Content: The question of the
reality of quantum properties remains unsolved. All quantum mechanical
principles must reduce to Newtonian principles at the macroscopic level
(there is a continuity between quantum and Newtonian mechanics). How does the role of the observer effect the wave and particle nature of
the quantum world? One test is to return to the two slit experiment and
try to determine count which slit the photon goes through. If the photon
is a particle, then it has to go through one or the other slit. Doing
this experiment results in wiping out the interference pattern. The wave
nature of the light is eliminated, only the particle nature remains and
particles cannot make interference patterns. Clearly the two slit experiments, for the first time in physics, indicates
that there is a much deeper relationship between the observer and the
phenomenon, at least at the subatomic level. This is an extreme break
from the idea of an objective reality or one where the laws of Nature
have a special, Platonic existence. If the physicist looks for a particle (uses particle detectors), then a
particle is found.
