First-Ever Photograph of LIGHT As Both Particle And Wave
Ғылым және технология
You are looking at the first-ever photograph of light as both a particle and wave captured in 2015. But you need a source of light to take a photo, so how do you take a photo of light itself? Researchers figured out a clever way to do it. First, they fired laser light at a tiny metal wire. This trapped the waves of light on the wire. Then they fired a stream of electrons alongside the wire.
Research Paper - doi.org/10.1038/ncomms7407
The light waves on the wire are made of particles called photons, so the electrons bounced off the photons, causing some electrons to speed up and some to slow down. The changes in speed show up as energy packets or quanta that can be visualized. They put the wire under an electron microscope and snapped a photo of it.
The top part of the image is the standing wave, while the bottom shows where the photons are located. This experiment demonstrated that we can film quantum mechanics and its paradoxical nature directly.
When light hits metal, for example, it ejects a stream of electrons. Einstein explained this back in 1905 by suggesting that light is also made of particles and that those particles of light smack into the metal electrons like billiard balls and send them flying. The insight eventually won him the Nobel Prize, but scientists were not happy about being forced to conclude that light can behave as both a wave and particle.
It's been over 100 years and every experiment with light that any scientist has ever performed proves that light either behaves as a wave or that light behaves as a particle, but never both at the same time. No one has glimpsed both states simultaneously until this photograph.
Researchers said the imaging technique could help advance the development of quantum computers - ultrafast computers that take advantage of other strange properties of light particles.

There’s A Parallel Universe Running Backward In Time, New Research Suggests 🤯 : kzread.info/dash/bejne/q36Cl6uIeJm1Zdo.html

More like assumption suggests. There is no information there that any parallel universe even exists, let alone what direction time runs in. All we've noticed is particles behaving strangely and we don't yet know why, or we have mathematics of things we haven't discovered, or a lack of particles or observations we think should be there. So lacking the evidence, we make fun guesses that have nothing to do with research.

CPT symmetry conservation and Feynman-Stückelberg-Interpretation of antimatter's time evolution do hint at the existence of a parallel ( anti- universe) evolving backwards in time. I wrote an informal paper even before physicist Neil Turok (2019). I thought it was just a mathematical artifact, but it's getting a lot of traction these days.😅😅.
As someone with two degrees in Physics this has to be the most mauled up explanation I've ever heard. Light does not "bounce off electrons", to pick out just one claim.

@@Littleprinceleon The Compton effect can be modelled as a billiard ball type collisions. Energy and momentum laws dictate that they will have to behave like this. But this is not how EM radiation interacts with electrons.
We aren’t actually taking a photograph of light nor quantum mechanics “directly”, at two levels. First, as @Donhamai notes, the picture is itself is a visualization of the data captured by the electron microscope and shown in a way that logically depicts what we believe the science is/should be behaving. Second, the electron microscope’s data is from the electrons bouncing off the light, which is itself “captured” or standardized in a manner (on/in the wire) that eliminates other possible impacting variables. In the experiment they validated via other means that the experiment itself wasn’t messing with the data (as much as possible), but the design of the experiment is by necessity a way to capture “photographically” what we believe is happening at that scale.

Electron can't bounce off the photon...it absorbs all the energy of photon.

Actually there is the so-called Compton effect, where only a part of the photon's energy gets transferred to the electron. It's the basis of the Compton Camera used in astronomy and in some radiation monitoring applications. What you described is the photoelectric effect. But one could even say, that in the photoelectric effect the electron bounces of the photon. Does it really matter, that the photon gets absorbed in the process? Just looking at the electron it changes speed and in most cases direction because of the interaction - in some sense similar to a ball bouncing on a wall, although usually the wall does not stop existing after the interaction I have to admit ;)

He said the photon bounces off the electron
Measuring a wave changes it, even through third party electrons, that's the point of Schrodingers paradox. So how does this make sense? How do you extrapolate that data from an electron? Doesn't it say more about how the electrons' energy has changed, rather than the photon? We already know photons and electrons interact, that's how you see in general. The opsonins in your eyes are proteins whose formations are dominated by electron orbitals of their respective amino acids, and the transfer of energy from a photon causes the protein to change and eventually signal your brain.
I have seen this Light with my own eyes...I wish I had had a camera at the time...Perhaps you can capture this on film?, but I highly doubt scientists could create this Light at will in order to do so. It comes to you, intelligent, and appears/disappears when it wants to.❤
Knowing how tricky the whole light wave / particle situation is, I would bet that what they think is going on, is not actually what is going on.
2015?! Why am I hearing about this only now then? I highly doubt that this is even possible!
Don't underestimate the value of this discovery. This is truly incredible
This is what cracks me up about scientific claims. They didn’t actually capture a photo of light. They used sensors to gather data and interpreted that data with assigned colors. Furthermore, they didn’t gather that data directly from light; it’s a generated image of a designed, physical activity between light, wire, and electrons. That’s like saying, “we took a photo of you.” And then they show you a drawing of you from a selfie you took standing in front of a mirror.

That computer generated looking like a playstation 1 image is a real photo? Wow.
Must be it is important to know that the Avery photons whole power (hv) cannot be transferred at all electrons, maximum electrons are not get this power, so this electron can't excited from the copper wire string so the light electric work was not happen !
is that a photo of quantum superposition or two separate particle and wave of light ?
The moving light particles create the waves in space. So the moving photon creates a shockwave basically which Carrie’s it’s energize.
This has a huge impact in quantum computing !
That's quite the Quantum Leap.
Actually the visible optical spectrum is emited by particle source as wavelenght potential anulation process. By depending of conditions of even distribution in all directions each particle can act as emmiter independently and all particles together can act as magnitude emision due to absence of limitations in empty gravityspace as fully polar, based on the distance. So light is a particles defined by wavelenght only. Thats tha part of the series of the null physics.

I think the explanation suggest the specific light they used had a parameter they specifically matched in the wire, so as to create a condition where the parameter existed in some sort of nondestructive resonate state they could shoot with an electron microscope

The particles just travel in waves. The speed is where the confusion sets in for our sensory organs.
"you can't see things as smalls as electrons" Really?! people need to see this
Just a question,can inelastic collision help us take picture of light?
The photons don't look as if they are part of the wave. If this is correct, the way I interperate the photo is that the photons aren't the wave, they're riding it. This would mean there is a photon wave field which would further show that single photons going through the double slit experiment, one by one, don't need to be probability waves to make a wave pattern on the back sensor. It still doesnt explain why observation of the photon before entering a slit cancels the wave pattern on the back sensor but nor do probability waves.

Really clever and amazing way to capture them
But the electrons bouncing off should change the behaviour of the photons. I don't think quantum mechanics can be measured/visualised without changing the quantum state.
Why did the photon not carry any luggage? Because it's traveling light.
What about space time because light is constant
So basically, they took a "picture" of light using electrons as the signal medium instead of light. Almost kind of like an electric lithograph. So, how can we go to the next step and take a photo of electrons? (We can't. For now.)

This video is utter bullshit
Everything depends on the interpretation of the data when objects are that small but let's presume the interpretation is correct and that photons have dimensions as theorised. It stands to reason that they therefore strike an object in a sequential way to refract or reflect. Photon dimensions also lends itself to the notion that they have variable mass according to their wavelengths and that they actually travel faster than their straight line speed due to the wave nature of their travel.
This does not prove particles are also waves, it only proves that particle trajectories are waves.

Technically it was not a Photo.
But electron absorb photons so how do they bounce off?
Whenever and wherever if I saw anything about light and photon it is always demonstrated and displaced as a round shaped. Well, actually photon has no fixed shaped it is like a thin stick and sometimes it can even change due to the speed it travels. So, always demonstrate it properly. But the project of capturing is damn awesome, definitely deserve a nobel prize

One could witness the light wave functions of photon light. Exactly as explained by the ones studying it with hi tec machines It sure is a blessing to witness.
