<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2 face=Arial>I agree also with Chip that it's an
oversimplification to see single-photon self-interference as an interference
phenomenon according to the classical wave description - in this respect I
suppose I'm agreeing with Chandra's original point on this, too.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=2 face=Arial>However, it seems pretty clear that
different phases of the same wave ARE conflicting with each other - spatially,
if not temporally - to result in failure of electron promotion (or enhancing
each other, in the additive case, to increase the probability of that
event). To me it all makes perfect sense - if needing a little more
explanation that the classical (simplistic) 'interference' subtraction or
addition of waves. That all helps us to understand both photons and
electrons more fully, as I said before.</FONT></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>Hi John, and Chandra<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>As John has pointed out, the electron behaves in the same
manner as light in the double slit experiment. This is one of the most
convincing arguments for me, that light is also quantized.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>However I feel that calling this behavior “interference” in
the classical wave sense, is an oversimplification of what is actually
occurring in these experiments.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>It seems to me that these quantized, coherent, oscillatory
energy packets produce fields, and that these fields in space, travel with the
particle and pass through the apparatus and interact with the apparatus, in
turn producing forces on the electron or photon, guiding its
path.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>But for this to work in simulation, like it does in
experiment, these fields propagate much faster than light, from the origin
particle, into space.<o:p></o:p></P>
