Re: I'm waiting for proof!

Now w're getting somewhere:

"Photons are harder to categorize, it all depends, but i'd say laser light behaves more like waves than particles"

Mc Carthy says in his "Ultimate alchemy" that electrons behave like waves because of confinement. Ok for that. If the photons these electrons are emitting upon falling back to the conduction band did no longer behave as particles, this would have been a really extraordinay finding and hence certainly be mentioned in Mc Carty's article.

Photons are not hard at all to categorize, quantum mechanics is quite clear about the issue, wave-particle dualism. What seems to be the case, accordng to my physicist/quantum laser collegue, is that the probabilities for one or the other behaviour are different. Which still means that laser light always has both wave and particle character. Pulsed lasers for instance behave more as particles.

You should not think yourself about how q-dot photons behave. The fact that you have to think about it further clearly indicates that there is no scientific publication concerning the non-particle behaviour of q-dot photons. Otherwise you would be able to cite it right away.

As for turntables, I'm sure that you can measure the effects of the waves hitting on the shoreline (the beach here is only some 3 km away). However, I believe that platter bearing rumble has more influence on sound than seismic waves well below the table suspension resonance frequency. I further believe that what has been called by J. Moir "acoustic breakthrough" is of more importance than seismic phenomena.
