Physics      Thank you!    • thumb     Feb 24 2013: In order to
track a photon in real time (not a slow mo simulation) you have
another photon because anything faster than that is not known.
If you use any detector to sense the presence or absence of a
photon at a given place in a given time, you cannot have a
measurement without interacting with the photon. In short, you
can never 'watch' a photon in classical sense of meaning without
interfering with it.     It appears that you believe that the
wave particle duality or the quantum indeterminacy of finding a
photon in a given slit is on account of our limitations of
experimental capabilities. Fact is: that limitation is
fundamental and intrinsic to very small particles moving with
speeds close to that of light. The double slit experiment
carried out with streams of electrons movi
