hey, Dave, where is the skew? Please, I am trying to write better and understand. quantum mechanics is not probabilities? Waving is not important? -for a photon. Particle wave duality means just that. They don't know what it is. Yes, it is a "smudge" in a field. They list a set of properties for the photon. -Let's talk about this "plasma" you are referring to. That's at 10^30-ish degrees and 10^-30 -ish seconds. What is this "plasma"? One fundamental particle? A group of particles? Or one field?- then I would like talk about what you said Nuclear stuff if that's ok
