In the Two slit experiment a single photon can form
an interference pattern. Over a ‘period of time’, individual photons form a pattern
of straight lines.
To do this the photon has to go through both slits
at the same time.
This is possible because the electromagnetic
field itself is not quantized and light as a wave can go through both slits at
the same time.
As waves, it can then form constructive and destructive
interference.
The energy transfer processes to and from the field
is quantized with the absorption and emission of photon energy.
In the reference frame of the experiment, this can
be seen with the interference pattern forming out of a random statistical
process photon by photon.
In this theory this represents a universal process,
we always have a probabilistic uncertain future coming into existence with the
exchange of photon energy.
The wave particle duality of light and matter in
the form of electrons is forming a blank canvas that we, as atoms, can interact
with forming a future relative to our actions.
