PF Mentors: I'm not sure where this should go, so feel free to move it to a more appropriate forum.
I was waiting for one of my students to finish editing a couple of his graphs and figures, and I got bored. So as often the case, I browse PF (hey, what else do you do when you get bored?). I noticed another thread on the double slit, and just out of curiosity, I decided to do a quick search on the Quantum Physics forum on threads that we have had related to the double-slit. I knew that we have had a lot, but even I was shocked at how many and how often such a question/thread has appeared.
I don't have a good reason for compiling this (maybe someone might be able to use it to look up something?). I also did not include every single thread that I found. I did not include the ones that started off already in La La Land (with apologies to the excellent movie). I also did not include the ones that were started by members that have... shall we say, departed from the forum. I limited this list only to those created in 2016 and 2017.
So in effect, there are many more threads on the double-slit than what I listed here, which is astounding.

I will not be surprised if this is the most-asked topic on PF.
