You both are blockhead morons. You haven't a clue what a photon is or
eve does. Herb, your ignorance immense. A single photon can only go
through one hole at once. You can make a million tiny holes and put a
photon detector behind each hole and fire a single photon at the array
of holes. Only ONE detector will fire! That tells you the photon went
through THAT hole and none of the others.

Herb, you should have finished grade school.
