Greysky:

Classically, this yields a simple interpretation.

Send an homogenous stream of balls (spacially separated
and equal
velocities) at the slits. Some pass straight through
unaffected;
others suffer varying degrees of deflection when striking
the edge of
the slits, and passing through. Now the balls (photons)
are not all
travelling parallel, and their probabilities of collision
positions
produce.......a very recognisable interference pattern.

No. Actually the distribution on the screen will not be the
observed pattern if the effecr was due to slit scattering.
Experimentally disprovable by varying the slit widths.
The distribution actually is in agreement with the
calculable distribution arising from wave interference.

I wonder what the pattern would look like, if photons affect each
other before actually making "contact"? This is just following my idea
of force at a distance, where if photons behave like bar magnets
(revolving on a linear path),
then their interaction patterns may look different, as they begin to
'push/pull' each other, before 'contact'.

To you all Have thought about the two slit experiment for over 50
years. Have posted some of my thoughts on it,but now I'm thinking along
the lines of both quantum,and string theory Thinking quantum
I see a field that can be a superposition of "two" distinct states. I'm
thinking about a electromagnetic field Thinking of a wave my first
question is "what is waving"? In up and down water waves we know what is
waving. Can the string theory tell us what the wave is? Yes my
thinking tells me it can and is very obvious for it is the heart of the
string theory. A wave is a vibrating string. There was no string
theory in the days of Feynman.That makes me more knowledgable in my
spacetime. I have been studying the string theory for over 5 years.
It fits well with combining are thinking of gravity,as a no mass
particle "graviton"(QM) and as a vibrating loop(string theory)
Man does a lot with vibrating strings. Nature uses vibrations to create
all there is. We can tell a note(sound) by its vibrations. Someday we
will be in tune with each particle and energy by its pitch.
When we are in tune with the universe we will have the GUT

The least negligible of the photon-photon interactions is
well understood, having been studied both theoretically and
experimentally.

This is just following my idea
of force at a distance,

The concept is non-existent in QED

where if photons behave like bar magnets
(revolving on a linear path),

Photons have no magnetic moment.

then their interaction patterns may look different, as
they begin to
'push/pull' each other, before 'contact'.

You might consider electron diffraction Jim. There the pattern changes with
the anode voltage.

Greysky To me the two slit experiment proves that nature creates
particles in "particles in


pairs. (electrons) photons in quantum pairs.

Greysky To me the two slit experiment proves that nature creates
particles in in pairs .I"m creating a theory that photons are created in
quantum pairs that are half real and the other half virtual. Keep in
mind two particles traveling through space parrel(side by side) can
answer the two slit experiment(electrons) Two photons represent millions
of both real and virtual photons can give the same results. Keep in mind
even viruses even so much bigger can go through both slits at the same
time and that has to prove my theory. Nature can't make one. Nor man.

Hi Henri Willson Have not read a post of yours in a long time. You are
right nightbat's crazy mushrooms,and my Mexican sweet potato pies can
make you health(live longer) and crazy mushrooms give you a reason to
live(go figure) Bert
