Sam Two slit experiment proves my twin photon theory. My idea on this
is knowing that the interference phenomena is the telltale sign of
waves. Two photons takes away the mistory. One photon interfering
with itself is crazy thinking even in the quantum realm TreBert

I don't think there has been a measurement matter decaying into light.

When and where should we look?

That is the point.

One of the biggest pillars of modern physics is anything but
deterministic!

Yes - I know. Probability theory based on random variables. But you
didn't address the indeterminacy (ahem, generality) which is inherent
to the very concept of "number".

Why should I believe that probability theory is the only source of
indeterminacy when numbers themselves are so nondescript (ahem,
"general) that they might safely be regarded as employing
indeterminacy themselves.
