-
He said that a given photon's energy is equal to its frequency times a constant named after him, that we call Planck's Constant.

When in orbit around the nucleus of an atom, then, if an electron is to move closer to or farther away from the nucleus i.e., raise or lower its energy, it can do so only in multiples of a photon's energy.

-
This simply formula is written as E = h v, where "h" is Planck's constant, and "v" is the photon's frequency.

-
And from a photon's point of view, it would be billions of no time whatsoever, and all that infintesimally tiny distance.
-
The fact that is looks like retrocausality to us is our problem, not the photon's.
-
In the photon's reference frame we use a different set of coordinates (X ', Y', Z ', and T').
-
Losing knowledge of the photon's path, even after they have passes through the slits, bring back the stripes.
Faster Than What? 2008
-
Just as in the experiment that confounded Feynman, knowing about a photon's behavior at the two slits makes the interference pattern vanish.
Faster Than What? 2008
-
It also falsifies the Many-Worlds Interpretation which tells us to expect no interference between "worlds" that are physically distinguishable, e.g., that correspond to the photon's passage through one pinhole or the other.
-
Courtial is one of five Glasgow scientists who measured a single photon's orbital angular momentum for the first time.
