"We would like to think that the particle detectors at the slits are
affecting the passage of the electron -- perhaps deflecting it, or modifying
it's path, or in some other way influencing the experiment. We could accept
such an explanation. But that does not seem to be the case. A series of
experiments have been conducted to test just such a hypothesis, and the
results are uniformly negative."
