    Do Virtual Particles Defy the Law of Conservation of Energy?

    Thank you for your thoughtful comments, Dave. What you say is true. Oops.:redface:

    Why Couldn't Einstein Accept Non-Locality?

    Not a conjecture; not even a guess; an idea: Photons are their own anti-particles and ( not forgetting their lack of experiencing time, but from observer's perspective, ) a photon traveling back in time is just an antiphoton. Imagine two spin-entangled photons A and B emitted in opposite...

    Do Virtual Particles Defy the Law of Conservation of Energy?

    I didn't call him or anything he did stupid-- please read above I called him a genius. However, his talking of God in scientific context is entirely silly. Remember, he said that as he could not accept the 'random' nature of quantum physics. To appeal to any religion or theology when discussing...

    Do Virtual Particles Defy the Law of Conservation of Energy?

    Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle. ( HUP ) Not true, virtual particles are a consequence of HUP and explain the well-documented Cassimir Effect which is otherwise difficult to explain and also are part of Hawking Radiation. Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle dictates that there are...

    Possible webpage title: Can You Perform Quantum Experiments at Home?

    Ok, here's another one ( but, sadly, also explicable classicly ).It's a cheap and easy two-slit job. You need an assistant to help. All you two need are two bright, sunny windows A and B on the same wall into an otherwise blacked-out room and four opaque boards e.g. pieces of wood. *1*...

    Do Photons Decay or Scatter?

    This part of the answer is all that is needed to show photons can not decay ( assuming Special Relativity is correct. )

    Is There a Flaw in the Double Slit Experiment Theory?

    read 'Schrodinger's Kittens' by ( i forget ) which offers understanding in layman's terms. It's a cheap paperback and I promise you it's a very interesting read. You will learn that as yet, there is no definitive understanding of the 2-slit and ALL theories so far are open to interpretation.
