I'm certainly interested in this, but for different reasons. Over the years, several people have bent my ears about Duane's theorem that suggests the double-slit experiment is not demonstrating quantum effects at all.
It strikes me that this could help establish or overturn such claims.

Any thoughts? Could it help to test it on a planet-sized scale?
- oogabooga123 6y agoSeems like this hypothesis shows it is indeed demonstrating “quantum” effects because the math falls out of the quantization of momentum transfer. Of course “quantum” is now widely understood to mean “the weird phenomena like the double slit experiment”... but I get what you’re saying. I wonder what’s with the downvote, though.
- selimthegrim 6y agoI would think Abraham-Minkowski problem would make people wary about defining rules for momentum exchange with solid systems.
- selimthegrim 6y agoBut as previous posters cite, Ballentine covers this as a special case and it isn’t electromagnetic.

- ShamelessC 6y agoSuch claims have already been overturned - and that blog post is _very_ light on details.
