One photon produces a point on the screen.
Many photons produce an interference pattern, whether the photons all arrive at the screen at once, or whether they are fired at the screen one by one.
What is so 'counter-intuitive' about that? When we know that the electron shell that produces the photons is dynamic, the electrons themselves are constantly moving within a shell described by a probability pattern.
Again, what is so counter-intuitive about that? It makes perfect, intuitive, sense.
Now, I should point out that I'm not a physicist, merely a lay person with an interest and understanding slightly above that of pop-science.
So, feel free to tell me to get lost back to my pop-science, if you want!
Thanks in advance for any replies,
