"Exploring a Novel Interpretation of Wave-Particle Duality: Could the Double-Slit Experiment Reveal Hidden Dimensionality?"

I'm proposing a fresh perspective on the famous double-slit experiment that might explain wave-particle duality through dimensional interactions:

Key Hypothesis:

  • The particle aspect of light travels at c² while information propagates at c
  • Photons spiral in 2D around a 1D light wave, creating statistical collision patterns
  • The interference pattern emerges from synchronization mismatches between elementary particles and our 3D measurement apparatus

This framework suggests the double-slit pattern results not from wave interference alone, but from the complex interaction between:

  • 1D light waves (information carrier)
  • 2D spiraling particles (energy carrier)
  • 3D detection surfaces (measurement interface)

The exponential speed difference (c vs c²) could explain why we observe the effect before measuring the complete information, potentially offering new insights into quantum measurement problems.

What implications might this dimensional hierarchy have for our understanding of quantum mechanics? I welcome thoughts from physicists and researchers exploring alternative interpretations of fundamental experiments.

Note: This is a speculative theoretical framework I'm developing. Feedback and constructive criticism welcome!
