Since I suffer from chronic nerve pain in my arms , I want to get this rough draft out into the public now as a public time stamp with my name attached to it while I continue to polish up the ideas. This is not yet complete.

Explaining The Double-Slit Experiment With The Roll of Dice

The Double-Slit Experiment is famous for its ability to boggle the human mind. Yes, the Schrödinger Equation has elegantly worked out the mathematical probabilities of what is going on. And yet, after more than 100 years, Scientists and Philosophers are still scratching their heads as to what it all is actually saying about the nature of subatomic particles and the Universe as a whole.

How can it be that a Photon can both contain Particle-like and Wave-like behavior, depending on whether a detector is measuring it or not? How can it be that the Wavefunction collapses depending upon whether the detector is even plugged in or not? Why does a Photon’s probability distribution change depending on the detector’s presence, and how can it possibly “know” that it is being watched or measured?

To attempt to answer this, I will first refer you to a previous article that I wrote. It is essential to read this in order to fully grasp the context of what I am saying, so please take a moment to do this before proceeding further. https://chsmithe22.medium.com/the-newton-pepys-problem-solution-is-false-f480ae95cee8
