We're fortunate that electrons have such low mass so we can see what's going on.First we need to answer this question... What would happen if two very high energy pulses of electromagnetic energy (Bosons) were fired right at each other? What would the interaction look like?The answer, thanks to a little PDE theory, is that the two very high energy waves will wrap into orbits around each other and form a Fermion. The Fermion will persist if the original waves have about the right energy for the orbits. And yes (I'm sure you'll ask) there are four types of Fermions that could have been formed... (As an artifact of some double covers) Pos or Neg charge and matter or anti-matter. The manifold of the orbit is octonian so we'd see is some projection of a polygon as quantization in real space (And TJ, this is how vertex algebra comes into play - Kac at MIT)Now that we've build a Fermion, let's send it through a double slit. Since the Fermion comprises two waves (why only two? Bott told us so), the image is constructed using standard optics techniques - no explanation required here.So TJ, does God throw the dice? Ans. Only when he/she's too lazy to do the math and stochastic approximations will do.NYou're full of **** N.Thanks TJ. That's means you should have confidence in this explanation, since one is guaranteed to get the weirdest sh*t with quaternion math.N, tell it to someone who cares... I'm tooo busy learning phynance over on off topic
