Double slit experiment and independency of physical events.

After writing previous entry, I can’t help but reconsider about the double slit experiment. Though I’m not an expert on physics, several questions arose in me on the analyses of the double slit experiment.

1. Independency between each one-particle emission event isn’t clearly defined. One particle emission P01, one particle emission P02, P03… and one particle emission Pn are really mutually independent events from the viewpoint of causality? Isn’t it necessary to define and check independency among each emission event? Is particle emission the same as dice rolling? If the intervals between P01 and P100 were very large (100 years, one particle a year), would really the fringe pattern be same?

2. The concept of wave behavior is introduced without proof. Isn’t there a possibility of the effect that is similar to wave? Isn’t the coordinate system itself oscillating?

3. Physical events should be classified into two categories. a) An event definitely unreachable by human behavior caused by consciousness. b) An event containing certain possibilities of interference by human behavior caused by consciousness. The prediction law for the trajectory of the latter case b) is, as is obvious, different from former case.

If double slit experiments were conducted where human intention can’t reach, wouldn’t the results change?

Faulty memory.

If you are accustomed to using MS-excel or other spreadsheet software, it may not be difficult to understand difference between directly entered value (fixed value) and value calculated from functional (or referential) input. If you enter a figure ‘24’ in cell B03, value of the figure ‘24’ will be displayed in the B03 cell. This ‘24’ is the directly entered value (fixed value). But if you enter ‘=A24’ in the cell B03, the same value as A24 cell will be displayed in the B03 cell. If figure ‘6’ is entered in the cell A24, the value ‘6’ will be displayed also in the B03 cell. If you change the figure of '6' in cell A24 into '9,' the value in the B03 cell also changes into '9' at the same time.

A merit of prevalence of spreadsheet software is, in my opinion, it has made mathematical concept of function clearly close to everyone.

Then, to which are all the photographs and moving images recorded by people around the world classified, fixed values or functional values? What about our memories? If referenced source had been manipulated, would our photos, DVD and memories have changed at the same time? Of course, I have never doubt that the photographs are fixed embodiments in this physical Universe. However, …

The other day, I pulled out an old DVD-R from my collection and watched a recorded program again. The program was recorded three years ago. I watched it a few times in the past since I recorded the program. This time, I found that a slight difference exist in a background scene between the scene displayed this time and the one recalled from my memory that was memorized 3 years ago. A kanji in advertising sign that I had remembered 3 years ago has changed into a similar Kanji that is slightly different from original one. The program was an old TV drama and the reason why I had remembered such a trivial matter was due to the fact that the meaning of the Kanji advertising sign had been the same as one of the names of the characters in the drama. When I watched three years ago, I speculated on the reason of its coincidence. But this time the coincidence isn't admitted.

Finally, I concluded that my faulty memory was the reason of the difference. If I admitted that my memory was correct, that would means bit-by-bit manipulation of moving images technology was used. It may be possible in principle. But in my case, I can’t suppose such a treatment had been done.

This story on my falty memory ends here. But I can’t help but generalize this experience. In the ‘Back to the future’ movie, a snapshot that changed with the space-time manipulation was an important subsidary object. And in the famous movie below, a photograph on an old newspaper was an important key.

Have all the photographs and moving images recorded by people around the world really not changed at all so far? If manipulation of space-time is possible, does the analogy of functional input to spreadsheet apply to our photos, DVD and memories?

Road stations.

There are lots of (936 places) road stations in Japan. Though those stations have been constructed to give comfortable repose and food services mainly to long-distance car drivers, they are open to people other than car drivers. As a matter of fact, some restaurants in road stations are very popular among the local people. Some road stations are located along the roads that are liked by cyclists. Unknown but nice goods such as local confectionaries and folk pieces that are not available at usual nationwide chain stores are on sale. Maps of road stations are available from this site.

As above figure shows, easily understandable signs are displayed on this site to show what kinds of services are available at each station.

A comparison between Google-Maps and Bing-Maps.

Differences between Google-Maps and Bing-Maps are becoming visible. Bing-Maps seem to have been well planned from a viewpoint of actual conditions of common office works in Japan. As above figure in typical magnification scale shows, every prefecture name is displayed on Bing-maps, while major prefectural capital city names are displayed on Google-maps. On the right map, place-names of Kyoto, Nara and Shiga are not displayed. Information management by prefecture name is quite universal in various documentations in Japan. Therefore, the left map would be copy&pasted more frequently than right map as an auxiliary map at various occasions such as brief presentations or small meetings. In addition, as most Japanese people can't understand Hangeul characters, romanized Korean place names display is also convenient.

They would say that this is a slight difference. But, we should notice that the Windows oligopoly have been formed by long-term accumulation of such slight differences.
