[General] How to know it's 1 photon at a time

[Roychoudhuri, Chandra]

Hodge: 
The strength of the light flux determines the number of discrete elections released per second. That does not assure light consists of bullets. Only by pre-determining that the beam can contain no more than one-photon-equivalent flux, can one claim the possible existence of "single photons". 
     Un-quantized kinetic energy determines the quantized level population -- quantum population density is determined by the classical Boltzmann distribution!!! There is no foundational interaction boundary between the classical and QM worlds.
      Further, our current state of knowledge about the real origin of particles and waves is too meager to make definitive statements about how interaction processes are taking place in nature. 
     QM and Relativities are not our FINAL knowledge. This forum is meant for serious attempts to open up the boundaries of our ignorance through serous debates. We need to go one level deeper in understanding physical interaction processes going on in nature. This was not seriously addresses by the prevailing QM formalism. The current formalism is good only for modeling measurable DATA, not for visualizing the invisible interaction PROCESSES.

> "A single photon in the experiment at a time" means 1 photon between the mask and screen at a time. If there are a million photons impinging on the mask and only 1 goes through the slit, it is 1 at a time.
> So, how an experimenter can tell if it is 1 at a time is get a photon counter and hook it to a speaker to hear the clicks. 1 click every few nano seconds or longer is 1 photon in the experiment at a time. I referenced a video in which the experimenter did just that. He also showed the screen accumulates the dots (photon encounters) 1 at a time.  
> My paper used the 1 at a time in the simulation. The actual experiment used a laser that was certainly millions at a time. The point is the simulation and laser experiment agreed with the sinc() input (Hodge) experiment.
