'So yes, he's explaining that crazy double slit experiment. And he's comparing it to water waves. And if molecules of water can act as a wave through a double slit then surely light can too.'
'But no, because with light you can send those particles through one by one and you still get the interference pattern. One by one and they still interfere. They interfere with nothing because there's nothing but themselves. If you did the same with water, obviously you wouldn't get that effect.'
'So its dead right? Well no, I don't think so. Because light has no notion of time. And that's the difference. The water is being sent one by one. But in time.'
'One by one. That means nothing at all if time does not exist.'
