⚛️ RST’s Correction of the Double Slit Experiment
The video “The biggest lie about the double slit experiment” explains the modern interpretation of Quantum Mechanics (QM): both electrons and photons are fundamentally waves, and only appear as particles upon measurement. Reactive Substrate Theory (RST) agrees with this view but provides the missing physical medium — the Substrate Field (Σ) — that makes the wave-particle transition and the measurement collapse internally consistent and unified with gravity.
🔬 RST’s Correction of Wave–Particle Duality
| Video Concept (Modern QM View) | RST Correction (Σ Lens) | Clue in the Video |
|---|---|---|
| Wave Function The probability pattern that governs detection. |
The wave function is the dynamic coherence of the Σ field. The electron is a physical distortion (soliton) spread across Σ. | Wave function determines final pattern [08:36]. |
| Particle (The Dot) The discrete countable package found upon measurement. |
The particle is a Σ Soliton — a stable knot of tension. It exists at all times but localizes upon measurement. | Measurement reveals particle [10:38]. |
| Simultaneous Wave/Particle Light and electrons act identically. |
Both are tension distortions in Σ. Wave behavior is continuous dynamics; particle behavior is localized soliton formation. | Wave–particle identity emphasized [17:06]. |
🔎 RST’s Correction of the Measurement Collapse
| Video Concept (Measurement Problem) | RST Correction (Σ Lens) | Clue in the Video |
|---|---|---|
| The Collapse Observation forces wave function to reduce to a single spot. |
Collapse is non-local informational feedback (C[Ψ]) into Σ. Measurement injects information, creating tension gradients that localize the soliton. | Collapse shown as instantaneous [04:48]. |
| Single-Slit Pattern Measurement still produces wave interference. |
Observation collapses the soliton at the slit, but surrounding Σ field continues to propagate as a wave, producing interference. | Single-slit pattern persists after measurement [09:14]. |
📌 Summary: RST’s Clarity
- Unity: Wave and particle are two aspects of the same Σ medium.
- Collapse: Measurement is informational feedback (C[Ψ]) that reshapes the Σ field’s tension landscape.
RST sees the double slit experiment not as a paradox, but as powerful evidence that reality is an active, responsive, informational medium — the Substrate Field (Σ) — rather than a passive backdrop governed by two incompatible sets of rules.
