That sounds like it conflicts with the concept of "superposition" where the photon in the famous "double slit experiment" can go through both slits, through either or none at the same time?
So far as I understand it, a photon can split up and create particles with matter, even though the photon is massless, yes?
So if a photon can be more places at the same time, it should be able to create multiple particles all at once?
So how is this not Dark Matter?
A "normal shot" is when the photon goes straight, but some times it will go in a curve, and then some times it will go in a crazy path making elaborate circles.
It was Richard Feynman that found this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path_integral_formulation
