How can wormley be such a moron as to actually think this crap he cuts and pastes has any scientific value. I sure would like to see that "photon accelerater" that chemists use! > Photons only go as pairs,never slow down,never go faster than c,never > bounce. Could add more but this will do for now,TreBert And just when you thought it couldn't get more ignorant, Bert pipes up. He's got a great theory for the double slit experiment. The way that single photons find both slits is because they travel in pairs! This is hilarious! Poor Bert, Now his van is just a pity palace.

Way more indeed. That was just the one that jumped out as most blatantly "poorly phrased", to be overly generous. A glance at the webpage makes me want to puke. I mean, look at the fucking cartoon illustrations! Sam is starting to worry me a bit. Either he's deliberately trying to saturate sci.physics with the stoopidest crap he can find, or his opinion of the level of understanding of his "readership" is extremely low. Or both... Mark L.

Don't you know, Sylvia, if you cross two laser beams at right angles so the photons "collide" the collisions produce a stream of God particles! It's on the internet so it must be true. Professor Wormley really understands science.

Brodsky Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, Stanford University Stanford, California 94309 e-mail: sjbth@slac.stanford.edu Abstract I give a brief review of the history of photon-photon physics and a survey of its potential at future electron-positron colliders. Exclusive hadron production processes in photon-photon and electron-photon collisions provide important tests of QCD at the amplitude level, particularly as measures of hadron distribution amplitudes. There are also important high energy γγ and eγ tests of quantum chromodynamics, including the production of jets in photon-photon collisions, deeply virtual Compton scattering on a photon target, and leading-twist single-spin asymmetries for a photon polarized normal to a production plane. ............. -- Poutnik ( The Pilgrim, Der Wanderer ) Knowledge makes great men humble, but small men arrogant.

A single photon cannot convert into particles (being particles that do not move at the speed of light), because it's impossible for both energy and momentum to be conserved. Sylvia.

You a journalist, Sylvia? Or do you just dote on Sam's media C&P screed? I'm glad that we've now settled that pair production is impossible. I think I smell NOBEL!!!!! Let us check the ever-reliable Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pair_production You are right in that it can't occur in empty space but requires a field be present. Nevertheless a single photon does convert into two particles and photons are NOT "colliding". Science ignorance here is simply amazing. Hey Sylvia, how are you with translating cursive writing?

Two photons with a wave connecting them imperial thinkers call a "Single Photon" This is proven by the two slit experiment. I can even see a billion photons going through a tiny quantum hole at once.
