The photon has never, ever been observed to be anything except a particle with a definite location when observed. If the photon was a wave, then it should appear smeared out on the screen of the 2 Slit Experiment. But, it isn't. ===>
So, if it is a particle and it is interfering with itself, then it must have gone through both slits (2 places at once)
QUANTUM ENTANGLEMENT_1
'I think it is safe to say that no one understands quantum mechanics'. Richard Feynman
FACT:
Quantum Entanglement: A single quantum is split into 2 parts creating 2 "entangled" particles. It can be shown that if we observe 2 entangled particles both will have the same quantum characteristics (spin for example). Though if they were NOT entangled the probability of that being true is 50-50. The distance between them does not seen to matter. Some people see this as a violation of Special Relativity. I disagree. (OPINION)It follows naturally from the Conservation Laws. Remember we started with a single quantum ==> Energy is Conserved; Linear Momentum is Conserved; Angular Momentum is Conserved; Matter is Conserved. If all these quantities are conserved then both members of the pair must change together.
Special Relativity is safe because, INFORMATION cannot be transmitted faster using entangled particles. Brian Greene’s explanation (paraphrased): You and a friend one light year away have 1000 boxes numbered 1 to 1000. Neither of you are moving relative to each other and you have worked out a way to synchronize your atomic clocks. You agree that at exactly noon for the next 1000 days, you will open one box, starting at #1. Inside each box is a red and blue LED controlled by an entangled quantum. Depending on the quantum state of the entangled particle there is a 50/50 chance that the red LED will be lit and a 50/50 chance the blue LED will be lit. You both note which box you opened and what color LED was lit. This information is sent by electromagnetic radiation to your friend. One year later your friend gets the message and finds that your list exactly matches his list. In every case, lists matches. BUT, it took 1 year to find that out as required by Special Relativity. Note, neither you nor your friend has any control over the color of the LED.
