Reward for experimental confirmation or nonconfirmation of the giant free electron theory

The first one to report to this discussion page the experimental confirmation or nonconfirmation of the giant free electron theory will be rewarded with the fact of that first result being recorded here. Farred 18:48, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

Superposition

A significant difference between the giant electron theory's interpretation and phantom particle theories' interpretations of the dual slit experiment is in the interpretation of the meaning of the superposition of sine waves that indicate the probability of an electron being detected at a particular spot. In the phantom particle theories there are several phantom electrons that approach the detectors. Only when one of them is actually detected is the number of phantoms reduced to one real electron. In the giant electron theory there is only one quite real electron at all times. The superposition of sine waves indicating probability of detection are a description of the likelihood of the one electron being deflected to one course or another. In the description of electron orbitals of an atom there is not the likelihood of finding an electron in a particular region of an electron cloud making up the orbital, rather the electron is in all parts of the orbital at once and the varying intensity that is calculated indicates the likelihood of the electron participating in one or another reaction.

Personally I consider phantom particles hard to believe in and would require good evidence before acknowledging that such a thing might be. What evidence do the proponents of such theories provide? They say that if you look you will only see the end result never the multiple phantoms. At the point the a detector enters into the experiment there is "decoherence" so the phantoms will never be seen. Is this some sort of joke? You can not prove them wrong because the evidence disappears when you look at it. I may be missing something in my understanding of the theory of phantom particles in the dual slit experiment. Anyone is welcome to set me straight. Farred 19:30, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
