Would flipping the double-slit experiment upside down change electron distribution?
Hi I've been intrested in this subject recently and I'm not an expert so it's maybe a dumb question, but literally couldn't sleep these days over questions like this one.
Let's say we're running the double-slit experiment with electrons, but with two specific conditions:
The slits are oriented horizontally relative to the ground.
The setup is adjusted so that the number of electrons passing through each slit is exactly equal.
Now, we take the entire setup and flip it upside down—so the slit that was previously lower is now the upper one, and vice versa.
Since gravity affects electrons (even if only slightly), does this reversal change the percentage of electrons passing through each slit? Would the electron distribution be different due to gravity now acting in the opposite direction relative to the original setup?
What I’m particularly curious about is whether any change depends on whether we treat the electron as a particle or a wave. In other words, does gravity affect an electron as a classical particle the same way it affects its wavefunction? Or would the magnitude of the effect be different depending on which interpretation we use?
