But there are still other predictions of the GR that can be measured with experiments and that are not explained by quantum gravity

And where would that leave the General Theory of Relativity?

For what I understand from GR, gravity is a deformation of space due to the presence of mass. This deformation could be interpreted as a force of attraction between two bodies with mass for general uses and simplification of calculation, but in reality it is not a force. That is why it affects...

Because in order to detect a photon you need to absorve it, i think..

Yes I did. I read all the three you sent. There was one about QM Myths and fact that for the moment I just read the slit experiment part but I’ll check it out fully later. Thanks for that If particles are always diffracted, what's the use of this experiment?

Is there any substantial difference in doing this experiment with electrons or with photons?

Then I find it very difficult to understand why with two slits and detectors you get the electrons stricking the area of the to lines of projection of the slits. More I think about this the less I understand it :H

Just to clarify something: If instead of two slits the experiment had only one, what would be the expected pattern on the screen? What I understand is that if the detector at the slit is ON then the expected pattern should be a line along the projection of the only slit. In the other hand, if...

But if you don't try to detect it, maybe you register its position as a particle as a single point, but it does not follow the feymann's path... Is like observation is affecting the path, making it straight instead of random...? But there is still the problem of the electron knowing or not if it...

First of all, I want to apologize ahead for three things: 1) Opening another tread about this experiment, with probably the same title than other 800 threads: I took a little time to read the other threads with similar titles and didn’t found this doubt in none of them, and also didn’t seem...

Ok for the moment I understand from both your answers that the electric field is not described by the exchange of photons but more like a superposition of infinite states of virtual photons. I don’t know the math but I can picture it in my head. Now, I don’t know if these questions are related...

Yes, actually just after I posted my answer to you about the frequency I googled it.. Well I guess then it is plausible that it was not an astronomy phenomenon but instead just a bunch of birds. That makes me a little sad, thou… But if nothing else makes sense then I’ll have to get used to that...

I thought it was birds at first when I just glanced because of the random movement, but then when I looked better I saw that there were shinning objects, especially when I used my binoculars to see them better. I don’t see how a group of birds could shine in that way. It was midnight, so I...

No. Impossible to count, that number is just an estimation..

I just saw an astronomy phenomenon with the following description: a) It was like a "cloud of stars" containing approximately 1.000 shiny objects b) It moved relatively fast (I compare the speed across the sky to the movement of an airplane that is so far away that you can hardly see it -at...
