That is presuming light is not a particle. Yet light is affected by gravitational forces. This is where Einstein and Quantum mechanics did not see eye to eye.
Light behaves as an energy, yet when coming into contact with a gravitational force, a strong one, acts as a mass.
I performed the 1 slit, 2 slit experiment with light here at home. How light "particles" interfere with each other. I don't fully understand how this experiment transfers from the Universe having multiple histories, because apparently the Universe did not appear through 2 slits. Yet just observing light, capturing it or altering it's course on the way to it's destination can alter it's history before it reaches it's destination.
Perhaps that sounds a bit scientific for the thread I started, but we are surrounded everyday by things we do not understand. That is the fun part.
Shinning a light on these 'particles', 'photons' can interfere with their path.
It's like lightning....why does it not just take a direct route? Why staggered, random?
But the experiment does prove though, that we have much to learn with regard to the makeup of light. And whether light itself is a particle, or simple energy, photon.
