ever been on one wavelength but then also on another wavelength at the same time like a quantum particle?

why do you ask such ridiculous questions, and then such intricate ones, that really don't make sense to the common "unintelligent" woman mind?

It's only a paradox if you think of particles and waves as distinct entities, which in quantum terms they aren't - they're waveparticles. This is somewhat unintuitive, but the UC Berkeley lecture video in the source below contains the clearest explanation I've seen yet.

Theoretically it is possible. There's a concept in physics, I think it's called "infinite velocity". If I understand it correctly it's something like terminal acceleration, where you are so far beyond the speed of light that you are truly everywhere at the same time. Is it literal? I have my doubts that God would choose to always be in such a state. Like it says in the Judeo-Christian tradition, He rested on the "seventh day".

That we've found so far, anyway. The Michael Crichton book Timeline (not the movie, dear God not the movie) talks about light particle/waves as indicative of the existence of parallel universes. It's very interesting. Not only do they exhibit particle/wave behavior but no one can observe a photon where it is, only where it was. And sometimes it seems to have disappeared entirely only to reappear in a different place. Makes me wish I was smart enough to full grasp quantum physics.

In many cases, people may say a photon "sometimes acts like a wave and sometimes acts like a particle". This is slightly misleading, because a photon always acts like both. For example, when shooting single photons through a slit, a detector can detect each photon when it hits — but over time, the detector will detect the same diffraction pattern as it would if the photons were given off all in one burst. This is because any given trajectory the photon could take has a certain probability that is dictated by the properties of an electromagnetic wave.

Yes! in the Sub Atomic particle. Photons behave the same way.

light has dual nature when light interacts with matter it behave as a particle but when light propagated through media  it behaves like waves intefrnece reflection and refraction

I believe it DEPENDS on the Frequency of that photon.\nWHITE lite comes into a prism (water droplets) and the\nindividual photos are BENT (refracted) various amounts\ndue to their frequency... thus we get to see the spectrum\n... rainbow... \nSo, yes, a photon going from one medium into another\nwould alter it's path a little at the juncture, \naccording to its frequency...  no "references", \njust my  off-the-cuff reply.  good luck.

Yes.  In fact protons even from two different elements are indistinguishable.  This is a fundamental property that is quite interesting, and it results in some very odd behavior.

Hi, \n\nThat's too much like real work, but think about it like breaking pool balls in classical, and wave interference with quantum. \n\nHope that helps, \nMatt

People sort of understand waves and they understand particles, light might be a disturbance in the space time continum. Just a definate bit energy with an uncertainty where it is, traveling. Some "particles" exist for such a short time , they are more a resonance. I am looking forward to new research and thoughts on nature of light.

Sounds like you're asking about a quantum mechanical phenomenon sometimes called "spooky action at a distance."\n\nIn it's most basic form, it involves two "entangled" electrons (or any subatomic particle) If you could separate the pair by some great distance--even light years--and then influence some characteristic of one electron, its distant twin would react instantly to assume the same characteristic.\n\nTry this website for a more complete explanation -->http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=138524

Emission lines of different wavelength depending upon what is being studied.

Are you referencing the time dependency of the Schroedinger equation?  Or are you implying quantization of time?

"Arent all particles material?"\n\nNo.\n\nThere is a concept called wave-particle duality.\n\nHere is an example of a non-material particle, the phonon:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonon

We've actually run experiments that EXCEEDED the speed of light - which means the observer detected a particle before it left the emitter.  Wish I still had the link to give you.\n\nWeird science.  But real.
