... What happens if the electron emission rate is so low, that only one electron goes thru the slit at once? Will there be a wave-like pattern? Yes. Somehow the single electrons are interfering with themselves! What! How? Does a single electron go through both slits (to cause the interference)? How can ...

The Nature of Light - What are Photons
... By 1909 Einstein had second thoughts, and put forward a deeply penetrating question: Would it not be possible to replace the hypothesis of light quanta by another assumption that would also fit the known phenomena? If it is necessary to modify the elements of the theory, would it not be possible to ...
