You have religious faith that this is the case, and you use as support
your own assertion that it is the case.

Yes, I know. You always do what you PREFER, whether that has any
usefulness or not.

I have the experimental evidence. Whenever an experiment is performed
the particle is always detected exiting a single slit. If detectors
are placed at the entrances to the slits the particle is always
detected entering a single slit. This is experimental evidence the
particle always enters and exits a single slit.

The C-60 molecule is always detected entering and exiting a single
slit because it ALWAYS enters and exits a single slit. To believe
otherwise is to disregard the experimental evidence.

it is too bad that U.Al cannot engage in debate, because
he certainly has a valid "point" about the duality, and
that is your only real problem.

admittedly, it is more of a quandary with fullerenes, but
there is not even any "where," there, with the "photon"
-- unless you think that a Nobel is an adequate laurel,
to resurrect Sir Isaac's nutty corpuscle (the one
that goes faster in denser media .-)

more precisely, E's neologism of "quantum
of light, I shall call, photon," does not neccesitate that
"the photon must be a particle (zero-dimensional,
no mass, no momentum QED .-)

thus:
NB, Lanczos used quaternions in _Variational Mechanics_
for special relativity, and it's just "real time" and
"three ('imaginary') axes of space;" but,
this is just the original "vectors." so,
compare Lanczos' biquaternions
with the "Cayley-Dickerson doubling" procedure,
to go from real to complex to quaternion to octonion. anyway,
"worldlines" are just the crappola in Minkowski's "pants,"
totally obfuscatory outside of a formalism --
time is not a dimension; time is awareness & mensurability
(of dimensionality !-)

thus:
Gauss meaasured the curvature
of Earth with his theodolite *and* a chain measure
of distance (working for France in Alsace-Lorraine,
triangulatin' that contested area .-)

thus:
notice that no-one bothered with the "proofs" that I've seen, and
the statute of limitation is out on that, but, anyway,
I think it must have been Scalia, not Kennedy,
who changed his little, oligarchical "Federalist Society" mind.

thus:
sorry; I guess, it was Scalia who'd "mooted" a yea on WS-is-WS, but

A photon is detected as a particle. My preferred concept of a photon
is as a directed/pointed wave which collapses and is detected as a
particle.

in the meantime, I realized a fromalism
for the "splitting" of the fullerene. anyway,
you are simply wrong about the detection of a photon;
that is merely a prevailing interpretation of a "beep"
in the electronics; you could just as well say,
the beep is a "phonon."

whether the splitting of a fullerene actually might occur
in the experiment, would require more detail; but,
I'm sure you could tell, what degree of "preparation" is needed
to do the experiment, and how much artifice is involved. that is,
how did they get a bunch of pure C-60, or how pure was it,
in the first place?

the real question is,
Can you actually explain a property of light, such
as permitivity & permeability, or Snell's law of refraction, or
can we explain the latter two in terms of one another,
in the first place?... or is it just a nicety of poesy,
that you think that you have created out of no air (vacuum) ??

and, we've seen your prefered pictograph,
the one that is the same as de Broglie's attempt
(a linear "wave" -- an oscilloscope trace, actually --
with a "particle" at its tip, like an arrow that was aimed
at your cone-head .-)

> A photon is detected as a particle. My preferred concept of a photon

> particle.

thus:
there is a standard answer to the question,
Am you on drugs?... which is,
Ask my God-am lawyer, Fool!

there is also a very standard answer to,
How many "holes" are there in the ozone, although
it is quite silly, or merely inadequate, but not "one;"
do you recall this "news?"

> > > How many "holes" in the ozonosphere, are there?

thus:
sorry; I guess, it was Scalia who'd "mooted" a yea on WS-is-WS, but
later came to d'Earl d'O. ... unless it was Breyer, as I may
have read in an article about his retirement.
I know of at least three "proofs" that WS was WS, but
I recently found a text that really '"makes the case,"
once and for all (but the Oxfordians, Rhodesian Scholars, and
others brainwashed by British Liberal Free Trade, capNtrade e.g.).
what ever it says, Shapiro's last book is just a polemic;
his real "proof" is _1599_;
the fans of de Vere are hopelessly stuck-up --
especially if they went to Harry Potter PS#1.
