The double-slit experiment is a classic demonstration of wave-particle duality, where particles, such as photons or electrons, exhibit both wave-like and particle-like behavior. It does not provide evidence for the conservation of local information on a 5th axis of freedom in space-time or offer a glimpse of a classical view of this phenomenon.
In the double-slit experiment, when photons or electrons are sent through two slits and detected on a screen, an interference pattern emerges, suggesting wave-like behavior. However, when the particles are observed individually, they behave like localized particles, resulting in a particle-like pattern on the screen.
The phenomenon observed in the double-slit experiment is fully described within the framework of quantum mechanics, which uses mathematical equations and concepts to explain the behavior of particles at the quantum level. It does not invoke the conservation of local information on a 5th axis of freedom in space-time or imply a return to classical physics.
Quantum mechanics, with its probabilistic nature and wave-particle duality, is fundamentally different from classical physics. The behavior of particles in the double-slit experiment can be accurately described by wave functions, which are complex-valued functions defined over space and time. The wave function provides information about the probability distribution of particle positions and describes the interference patterns observed in the experiment.
While there are ongoing discussions and research about the interpretation of quantum mechanics and the nature of reality at the quantum level, the idea of a 5th axis of freedom in space-time or a classical view emerging from the double-slit experiment is not a mainstream interpretation within the current understanding of quantum mechanics.
