just a few annoying headbanging facts

it is justthose things we take for granted that are R so * hard to understand, it's so complex, for example the whole computer existence, lets start before we even let alone touched a computer chip, how was electricity discovered? now that's slightly easy, now lets go to the fact hows electricity capable of actually heading through a butt load of wires and computer chips to somehow startup a computer, and imagine how somehow when electricity heads through a computer it can get all of those pieces in the computer to work, now imagine how much programming had to be done for OS's to run all the computer pieces, and then imagine how programming langauges were written and then finally we can get to the actua apps and games, seems complex huh? imagine, even those pro game makers don't know how you can get everything to work with the didgits 0 and 1, another head banging ? might be do particles and even light particles have shadows? even if you've got a bright light shining on you, you still have a shadow

Re: just a few annoying headbanging facts

Since a shadow is created simply by the photons hitting something that is in their way, then yes, particles have shadows.

And when a photon is prevented from arriving somewhere due to being interfered with by another phton, the result is a gap in the light - which could be defined as a shadow.

Of course, in the vast majority of circumstances you won't see such shadows, but if you perform the classic double-slit experiment whereby a light is shone through an appature with two small vertical slits, you will, in fact, see a pattern of light an dark areas projected (rather than the simple 2 lines of light you might expect).

Mayhem, you are a bigger geek than I am. I pay my respects.
