You still haven't explained how the weak starlight that enters both
detectors is coherent. Since it comes from many parts of the star,

He did, though perhaps he assumed too much of you, it
is coherent because each detection is of a _single_
photon and any photon is of course coherent with itself.

So every single photon frm a distant star is stretched to over 600 metres
wide
by the time it reaches Earth?

That is for you to decide, you have to explain how
an individual photon's behaviour can depend on the
paths through both telescopes, Paul and I are only
telling you what the observed result is. It is just
a larger example of Young's Slits so you shouldn't
be too surprised.

Have you now fathomed that, or will you still state stupidities like:
"Just tell me how photons emitted from opposite sides of a star can end
up
in phase over a 600m wavefront".

Interferometry requires coherent light.

Interferometry works with individual photons even
in this configuration:

...and my statistical theory explains why...

More lies Henry? You don't have a statistical theory,
only Ritz's macroscopic velocity equation and my
extension for speed equalisation. In fact, come to
think of it, you have never originated anything for
yourself.
