Bouncing on what? When you do the experiment and you send a single particle there is nothing at all between the slits and the screen where the hit is detected!

- z3t4 7y agoMy theory is that the balls will not all go in a straight line, some will hit the slit edge and thus not land straight behind the slit. As with light, the light will bounce around the room and come though the slit from different directions.
- kgwgk 7y agoThat (the interaction with a single slit) would explain difraction but not the interference pattern (which appears when there are two slits).
- z3t4 7y agoSometimes the ball will go through the other slit. As with light bouncing around, it will go through both slits.
- kgwgk 7y agoBut you will have difraction (giving a smooth distribution) when it goes through one slit and difraction (giving a infinitesimaly displaced smooth distribution) when it goes through the other. Put them together and you get more or less the same smooth distribution, not an interference.
