But how could that possibly work if a photon is nothing but a point particle and there is no need to take their very pronounced wavelike properties into account? A pure point particle wouldn't care if the lines in that filter were horizontal or vertical, but a wave would. * *John K Clark See what's on my new list at Extropolis <https://groups.google.com/g/extropolis>* 2xj > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
