The double slit experiment shows that light has properties traditionally associated with waves (as opposed to particles). Can you clarify how this is related to hypothesis 2?
- RandomOpinion 10y ago> The double slit experiment shows that light has properties traditionally associated with waves (as opposed to particles). Even for photons sent through one at a time? Nope. That's not behavior associated with any type of wave.
- AnimalMuppet 10y agoWell, it says that individual photons are still waves.

It works when you send electrons one at a time, suggesting they are somehow interfering with themselves. In other words, the electrons are in both slits at once until we check. That might not literally be true, but it's not possible to explain the interference by saying we just don't know which slit they're going through.
