Photons and Schrödinger’s cats.

 Photons and Schrödinger’s cats. 

The problem is: Why do photons have no medium? Where is its Schrödinger’s cat state where it has both wave and particle forms at the same time? Logically, thinking the particle that goes from one extreme state to another one should travel through the state where the particle has both extreme states. But can that particle travel through that Schrödinger cat state so fast that we cannot detect it? 

Einstein was wrong. A photon cannot simultaneously have particle and wave forms. We can observe either a particle or a wave form in photons. So, if we observe a photon. It can have separate wave and particle forms. But those states or forms are always separated; they never exist at the same time. Or that time is very short. And we cannot detect it. The normal principle in quantum mechanics is this. An observer cannot measure the precise place of a particle and the particle’s movement at the same time. If particle comes to us, we cannot see that particle moves without triangular measurement. We see that the particle grows. 

That is known as Heisenberg's indeterminacy principle. Or simpler uncertainty principle. 

“The uncertainty principle, also known as Heisenberg's indeterminacy principle, is a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics. It states that there is a limit to the precision with which certain pairs of physical properties, such as position and momentum, can be simultaneously known. In other words, the more accurately one property is measured, the less accurately the other property can be known.” (Wikipedia, Uncertainty principle)

And could the researchers apply that principle to other things? Like changes in the energy states? Or can the uncertainty principle explain why we can see either particle form, photon, or wave movement form in light? So, is it possible that we just cannot measure wave and particle forms in a photon? At the same time? Or does the photon have the ability to transform its state from the wave to a particle and particle to wave, without the medium state? 

In the most accurate  double-slit experiment in history, MIT used two ultra-cold atoms to prove. That means we can measure a photon's dual-state nature. But at the same time, we cannot see those states. Those states are always separated, and that means the uncertainty principle is useful in some other situations than just measuring the particle’s place or movement. In those other cases. A particle moves between quantum states or energy states and levels. When a particle receives or releases energy, it moves between energy states. And that thing is one way to introduce movement. The movement happens between states, frequencies, or energy levels. 

"Schematic of the MIT experiment: Two single atoms floating in a vacuum chamber are illuminated by a laser beam and act as the two slits. The interference of the scattered light is recorded with a highly sensitive camera depicted as a screen. Incoherent light appears as background and implies that the photon has acted as a particle passing only through one slit. Credit: Courtesy of the researchers."

“MIT physicists have performed the most precise version of the famous double-slit experiment, using ultracold atoms and single photons to reveal the strange dual nature of light as both wave and particle.”(ScitechDaily, MIT Just Proved Einstein Wrong in the Most Famous Quantum Experiment)

“This quantum balancing act—long debated by Einstein and Bohr—was tested without traditional “spring” components, instead relying on atomic “fuzziness” to confirm Bohr’s view: you can’t observe both properties at once. The experiment not only showcases the subtleties of quantum mechanics but also revisits and resolves a historic scientific rivalry.” (ScitechDaily, MIT Just Proved Einstein Wrong in the Most Famous Quantum Experiment)

The photon can have two states. That we can see. Those two states are wave and particle states. And if we follow the path that Niels Bohr introduced, we cannot see those states simultaneously. We can see a wave, or a particle form in a photon. And those states are always separated. But then we can think that when a photon’s state transforms from the particle to the wave, the photon stretches. That means the photon turns longer. So there should be a medium between those states. But we cannot see that medium. Or Scrödinger’s cat state in photons. That means there is a possibility that the photon goes through that state so fast. That we cannot see that state. Or maybe a photon does not have that medium state. But there is no sense in that possibility. We all know that when a particle, or substance, travels from one extreme state to another extreme state, that transformation must happen through the medium state. The medium state is Schrödinger’s cat state. 

Therefore, for example, a photon should have a state that is both a wave and a particle. But that state is not seen. Another thing is something more incredible. Could the photon be flat? Is it possible that a photon is somehow a flat, donut-looking structure? When researchers stop the photon. That stopped photon should release its energy and turn into a wave movement. But the photon’s particle form remains. That means there should be some internal movement in that particle. Is it possible that a photon is a group of string-shaped waves that form a particle called a photon? When we say that a photon has no time, we are right and wrong. A photon travels at the speed of light. And that means time should be stopped there, but then we can rethink that thing. 

Time is stopped on a photon, but a photon is bound in the universe’s existence. If the universe exists, the photon should take the wave form. But otherwise, it could keep its particle form. If we think that electromagnetic shadow behind the photon pulls it to a straight form, that means it could mean that when the quantum fields turn weaker. The electromagnetic shadow. Or electromagnetic low-pressure will not form behind the photon. And in that case, the photon could also keep its particle form. And that causes an idea: can there be a state of space where there is no cosmic speed limits? When a photon changes its state from a particle to a wave. It turns longer. 

Or stretches to form that looks like spaghetti. In that case, the nose of that spaghetti-shaped particle takes energy into that particle. When a particle travels in a quantum field, it makes a similar shockwave or cone around it like a supersonic aircraft. And there is quantum low-pressure between that cone and the particle. So energy travels to space between that shockwave and the particle. Because the area that delivers energy is larger than the nose, this causes the situation. The particle starts to deliver more energy than it gets. And in that case, the acceleration stops. Acceleration can continue until the particle starts to deliver as much energy as it gets from the environment. Quantum gravity means the particle binds quantum fields into it and turns those fields into kinetic energy. When the field grips the particle. 

Outside field comes to that point. At the same time, the field transports other particles closer to that particle. The photon has no weight or mass because it cannot bind quantum fields to it. Or it releases as much energy as it gets. That means. The photon has energy stability. When quantum fields turn weaker, the speed of light rises. But the reason why we cannot see that thing is that. When we are in the middle of the quantum systems, we cannot observe their changes as we should. We could make measurements only if we were outside the system.
