Another previous assumption is busted. LIGHT actually behaves like quantum lightning. Like lightning, light picks many different paths like the side 'feelers' of lightning. Also, it settles on the shortest distance to reach its destination. When it arrives all the other paths collapse and disappear. LIGHT does not travel at a straight solid ray like we imagine.

We discovered this by using a variation of the double slit experiment but by varying it by time. An interference pattern did emerge but showed the light varied by frequency and not the standard banded locations. That means the path of light came in at many different angles that would shorten the frequency when it hit the detection plate.

For me, the magic happens when all other side paths disappear without a trace. light is wierd
