 "The reasons for uncertainty"
WHAT I'm saying, my friend mike, is that there were OTHER very important "variables" [even today] not being taken into serious considerations.
When Young designed his experimental setting [it's my deepest belief] that he didn't have a clue about the implications of what he saw back then... and the sadest part is that "WE" still can't see it! That's all I've said, and it is my opportunity here to let you see my point and my images right out of my mind.
Let's start from the simplest conclusion.... one correct 100%.
"Light was a wave" "Light-waves "went-through" both slits at the same time (?) interacting on the other side [construcitvely and destructively as we know it] resulting in the classical, millions-time photographed, familiar and popular spectrum... Every body with me so far?
The puzzle that was introduced with the birth of quantum mechanics [as we deal with quantum mechanics in the year 2006...] began once the same experiment was performed with "sub-atomic particles" and even atoms!
The second part of the puzzling paradox, the "thing" not yet understood yet [based on official publications of the experiment] is that no matter the time lapse of time between shots, place on Earth or emissions used in the production of the final results on the screen... the spectrum made by bright and dark bands will be always there!
I have an idea! Let's assumed that we are a bunch of "dummies" trying to make sense of this experiment just as a computer-minded automaton will:
-"Strange! our team has observed that if we shot one photon of light at a time [no matter the time consumed between shots] the impact will always be found in a different spot in the screen...(?) Assuming that each photon participating in the emission was practically similar one-another... why will they "decided" to INTERACT-WITH EACH OTHER passing through both slits* and STILL end up in different places?
*For the record: the slits haven't been moved from their position in the obstacle. The diammeter of the holes haven't been changed either.
Then the question remains:
If the SETTING [or using other words] CONDITIONS of the experiment never changed... If the photons, atoms or "what-have-you" used to shot into the screen were vever subject to any modification... WE MUST ASSUME that the spectrum or resulting interaction of equal waves under equal conditions SHOULD BE ALWAYS THE SAME!
...BUT IT ISN'T! THEREFORE WE HAVE REACHED THE FOLLOWING CONCLUSIONS:
1>>> "There could be more than just one universe. In our universe one photon goes throught one of the slit while in another universe the same photon goes throught a second universe..."
I don't have to say that THIS was one of the theories trying to explain the puzzling results... Physicists! ["The paralell words theory"].
2>>> That [somehow] the interaction between wave functions ["of the same photon?"] will do all kinds of piruets (just like a loose fly would around dessert) to finally choose the "sum of all stories."... God help me!
3>>> Well! There are hundreds of child-stories that you could find "explaining" the unexplainable*
*Unexplainable BECAUSE there was something missed even by the author of the experiment: The existence and structure of the [constantly changing] eather or vacuum.
The "double slit experiment" was more about the nature and structure of the eather or vacuum than the objective interaction between waves.
I love PREDICTIONS don't you? So let's help those automatons [dummies of my story] by "guessing" what if...?
First prediction>>> I believe that if we performed the "D.S.E." ("double slit experiment") during a "SOLAR ECLIPSE" take note of its conclusions and we repeat the same experiment later on under normal conditions [same day of the year, time of the day and place of the Earth] will find that the spectrum will show conclusive evidences of how the eather effect the results.
Think about this! The moon position itself between Earth and the sun... the gravitational waves are somehow modified in their way to Earth... definetly the results must be affected by it.
SECOND PREDICTION>>>> Before going to my 2nd guessing, an interesting one, let's see why photons or "others" don't follow the same orderly path toward the screen:
meanning that photon number 1 will always hit the same spot as well as number 2,3,4,5, etc.
Let's try to analyze what is preventing us from reaching such MIRACLE not achieved ever in science.
Is the Earth perfectly round? NO!
Is it the path of the Earth around the sun always a perfect ellipse? I don't think so! Think about the movement of other planets and moons with respect to both: the sun and the Earth... Don't you think that their momentum will also affect the way "we" move around the bright star? Definetely!
Now this is a tricky one:
If we defined the position of the Earth at the beginning of our calculations [let's say that we could "tag" one point of the Earth in 3D space before we start] and 365 days after we compared the same "taged point" with the 3D region of space... would that point be the exact same once the Earth made the complete 360 degrees trip around the sun? I don't even hope that's going to happen!
So! I don't think that we will never ever have the chance to reproduce such a "D.S.E." that would match shot-by-shot a perfectly image of one already done in the past... Is this understood?
In this particular case my predictions are that it is impossible to repreduce two similar-looking experiments no matter what conditions are arranged. (!)
Guys... what are the consequences of what I've just said?
U N C E R T A I N T Y ! That's why physicists blow their minds trying to predict the final position of an assumed "particle"!!!!
The nature of the vacuum or eather [as you prefer it fits better...] will always be different due to:
A] THE ROTATION OF THE PLANET.
B] THE CONDITIONS AFFECTING THE ACTUAL POSITION OF THE PLANET AROUND THE SOURCE OF THE ORBITAL SYSTEM: THE SUN.
C] THE INTERACTION BETWEEN THE EATHEREAL FIELD AND THE QUANTUM WE ATTEMPT TO MEASURE IN OUR LABS.
It has nothing to do with an inherent uncertainty BLAMED to some wave-function that always chose the square of its own amplitude to hide its double-status of particle and wave. There would be NO UNCERTAINTY at all if there would be NO EATHER... But there is one! ...and we have NO CONTROL OVER IT!
HOWEVER! I do believe that we could study its structure and one day even predict its effects given a previous notion of the cosmos around us.
That very day astronomy and quantum mechanics will work in team. Imagine that we could have very precise predictions about how the eather will influence the emission of photons, electrons or any other quantum...!
I regret that our mathematical equations found in quantum mechanics [in 2006] are missing the cosmological part of the phenomenon concerning its uncertain variables. I believe that the secret behind the T.O.E. will be understood the day we include the nature and structure of the eather [vacuum] and its effect in our science.

A final note or observation if you wish...
I've notes that there is not much of enthusiasm about this particular subject. Except for the interesting comments of 3-4 members above, I guess this issue is not too popular... I would like to hear from you directly if its possible. I'd like to hear what you think and if in fact any of this has some appealing in this community.
I don't want to make this thread look like a one-way monologue. I'm really interested to know if I should keep writting my notes or let it pass for good. If you don't find it worthy of being discussed I join you in other threads... no problems with it.
Thanks in advance for any comment concerning this particular point.
