In a real double-slit experiment, the kind of pattern obtained will be different as an observer (which may or may not be human) is or is not present, transversely placed in relation to the path of photons.
My questions:
1. How can we make this observation? This is: How can that observer (human or not) to "make sure" that he has "saw" a photon to pass?
2. How can a non-human detector register the passage of a photon by a pathway orthogonal to the direction of observation?
( I am assuming that we operate in a vacuum)
(It is clear for me that the screen on which the pattern appears cannot be regarded as being an observer. Am I wrong?)
