Isn't coherence needed?
>a pattern similar to the one you'd see with the two openings on the wall
The pattern was in the frequency domain, i.e. the color of the light changed.

- hoseja 4y agoWell swap the flashlight for a laser pointer and I'm sure saying the color shimmers if you switch it on two times very fast isn't harder to understand than saying it makes patterns on a wall if you shine it through two slits. No need to be explicitly wrong, even if explaining on a lower level. In fact, the betrayal felt when one later learns a contradictory (not clarifying) truth is bad for learning.
