A solution of the paradox of the double-slit experiment
Abstract
We argue that the double-slit experiment can be understood much better by considering it as an experiment whereby one uses electrons to study the setup rather than an experiment whereby we use a setup to study the behaviour of electrons. We also show how Gödel's concept of undecidability can be used in an intuitive way to make sense of the double-slit experiment and the quantum rules for calculating coherent and incoherent probabilities. We meet here a situation where the electrons always behave in a fully deterministic way, while the detailed design of the setup may render the question about the way they move through the setup experimentally undecidable.
