Indeed, until you interfere with a photon you don't know which way it will swing. > We may know that > they are only interfering with themselves but they think they are in > orgy world all the time.# They don't interfere with themselves but with each other.

A single photon can only be in one place and go to one place (unless you measure it somewhere else first). Where a single photon is detected is influenced by the probability distribution represented by the slit pattern. It could go anywhere and everywhere but only one pixel gets to record it. > And why are they > forever wanting to be fired through slits? Seems fine to me Robert. Perhaps the question is difficult if you swing the other way. Actually, photons probably don't really exist. They are mathematical constructs to explain observations ... natures way of reminding us that however many observations we make we actually know diddly-squit about what is really going on. Or not.
