I visited this web site; http://www.electrodynamics-of-special-relativity.com that suggests that there is no contradiction between quantum mechanics and special relativity. The argument is that the full implications of the Lorentz Transformation have never been fully developed. The basic theory...
Hi Zapperz
Don't get too cross with me I'm just a retired engineer trying to make
a little sense of modern physics.
I don't really have any opinion about T Marcella's paper other than
its obscurity and I had that in mind when I made the comparison with
Micky Mouse. You seem so...
Hola Hombre
Thanks for your support. Zz's comments haven't put me off I just
suffer from a severe addictive condition, Michael Palin calls it
"dromomania". One of the symptoms is frequent lack of access to the
internet.
Among other things its seems Zz does not like my assertion that by...
Sorry , no I didn't. I based my comments on DrChinese's description.
Which suggested we could analyse the behaviour of light in two ways.
1. We can regard light as it passes from a donor atom to an absorber
as a wave. The development of the interference patterns then develop...
Of course my original question was unfair as it addressed the central enigma of quantum mechanics. If there had been an answer then I think we’d all know about it anyway.
Morcella’s paper I suspect with respect to the build up of the probabilities of particles hitting various spots it is the...
"Most people often do not realize that one CAN describe interference effects (a typical wave phenomena) using photons![1]"

I understand that the consensus of opinion regards photons as particles. My difficulty is in picturing how particles can produce interference patterns, even if only one photon is involved? In the double slit experiment for instance?
