In counting your Waves show, and if this is in fact the exact distribution of the light pattern, could this be showing reflections from the other 10 dimensions in "M theory"? Our dimension plus the 10 others... Just counting the whole circles of light showing on the wall.

When they then "Observe" the light being transmitted in just our dimension that is the only one they should see.

Just an abstract thought by a non- scientist.

This phenomena has been explained by several physicists and Tom Campbell goes through that and more. He also comes up with a theory of what is really happening and why. This theory advances reality and therefore also explains other phenomena that also have yet to be explained or theorized. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qSc7SaYRx4 There are 16 Utube videos all together in this seminar of lectures and all are very interesting.

This has been a puzzle for a long time, but not as long as your article suggests. When Thomas Young did the first double-slit experiment in 1803, he got a clear result: light was a wave. I don't think he bothered to do the single-slit version. It was in the 20th century, after Einstein's 1905 explanation of the photoelectric effect indicated that light sometimes acts like particles, that the experiments were done again more carefully, and the confusing results described here were obtained.

If'n I understand correctly. The standard explanation is that light is a particle, but at the speed of light it must be a wave to continue existing. Since no particle can have infinite mass and move at the speed of light, it must be a wave. Still it does seem to be a cop out, sort of the magic door of theological discussions, who knows the mind of god?

There is a compelling theory explaing the Red Shift in Astronemy bi incorporating feild equations for time as well as space. In this concept space is composed as two dimensions and time as the third dimension which creates the space/time that we live in. If we just consider this theory in matters of scale to the sub-atomic, then we can explain this particle wave duality by creating two fixed points connected by time and space, a particle. But, with only one fixed point in time and space, the time field will act as a wave. In effect we have created a slight change in the universal fabric of time and space, just as the fields of electricity and magnetism are intricately linked as mutual fields at perpendicular angles, so too, time and space can share this type of relationship thus causing and explaining the particle/wave duality. This is my own personal view of the problem, but I think it can provide a new perspective for a solution and understang of the nature of time and space at the quantum level.

1. Light is a constant !? There's no Vaccum in reality, and the Speed of Light can be affected by Gravity. 2. Photons are particals, but they travel in wave form. 3. When light travel through a pin hole, the image inverted. 4. When photons travel through the double slit , it hits the edge of the slit and the eletron of the slit emits photons and travel in wave form until it hits the wall.

1.if you put the second filter as the same plane as the first one ,and move a bit so cover the gaps of the first filter,you cannot see light.So the second experiment can see light,and that's why the third one can see also. 2.bullet is not travel in wave form as photons . 3.when a detector is turn on, it absorb the photons hits on it. You can make your own experiment .

The Copenhagen,if we have two observers,one say alive while the other say dead,then one of us know the answer,and this is the answer!

I think the answer is simple, take off the word presumable from this: "In other words, the decision on which type of detection is used (screen or telescopes) is being made after the photons have passed through the slits -- presumable after they have already decided to be a wave or a particle. Yet, the later decision seems to somehow influence the photon in the past." Maybe they don't decide, they are affected by detectors and stuff and change from particle to wave quickly and easily, this doesn't even have to do with people let alone us living in a simulation. Solve this first: "presumable after they have already decided to be a wave or a particle." presumable or not? before thinking about simulations, double reality and what not. Maybe those scientists want to sell books?

I know the answer to that filter thing lol. Maybe it's like evolution and genes, where traits are not lost they just go "dormant" - so when light passes through filter it activates some... For 1) Vertical filter activates vertical alignment so you see vertical... For 2) Horizontal filter tries to activates the horizontal alignment (yet it can't if the vertical filter is already on) so you see none. For 3) Only the 45° filter can activate (or be activated by) any alignment so it activates the 45° alignment and then the horizontal activates the horizontal and you see. lol?

"In this simulation example, everything that is behind you and your field of observation is not rendered -- is not "real" yet, until you turn and observe it." So the pope is not real right now, yes or no?

In the 50 years delay experiment if scientists are thinking that there may be something to do with the conscious mind of human then without waiting for 50 years or destroying/randomizing the punch card can we do this experiment: The double-slit experiment is set such way that two human observer with conscious mind try to find the path of photon using two different setup of detection for the same light source and same slit-set . That is one observer watching it with say without a detection wall before the telescope and one observer watch it with a detection wall before the telescope. May be the telescopes of the two observers may be placed in such angle and detection wall is placed such way that for one observer there is no wall in sight of view and for other there is a wall. What result the two observer will get when observed simultaneously. Should one find it particle behavior and other find it wave like ? I just like to know does it make different when two conscious mind watch the same double-slit experiment with somewhat different setup simultaneously ?

I wonder if observing something by your eyes are so important for the photons that even change its characteristics from wave to particle what about the blind people? What if a born blind person does the double-slit experiment ?

Your writing really inspired me to think out of the box. I was thinking who knows may be for each photon it is already decided by nature which atom its going to hit just after its creation no matter how far is the distance. That is if a photon is created say in a many light year distance from earth and if while using a telescope it hitted my eyeball that means just after its creation it automatically reached to a particular atom of my eyeball because somehow it was decided already that it would hit me. In summary if known universe has 10^80 atoms and 10^89 photons then each atom is destined to receive 10^9 photons in its lifetime or somewhat like this. I can think this way because we know from photon's own reference frame it don't see any time delay in reaching any destination though from our reference or other reference frame it may take many many light year/minute/second etc.

You describe a 50 year expieriment. However, was that experiment ever actually conducted, or was that just a hypothetical experiment? And if it was really conducted were the results of it the ones you describe here, or are those just theoretical results of what is believed would happen if it were conducted?

Hi Gary. In the very first paragraph, you mentioned that "photon has unitary size & charge". Isn't this an incorrect statement? As we know, a photon is massless and has no charge.
