In the double slit where you shoot an individual photon
for several months that produce an interference pattern.
What's the proof that the equipment can really produce
one photon at a time. How can they control the output
of one photon only? Did they judge it by the one phosphor
hit in the screen??

If it's the latter. What if light is caused by stream
of expanding electrons from Sefton nucleus. This can
debunk the photon particle/wave duality myth (current
view of QM).

The following describe how the single photon experiment
can be misinterpreted.

"Since a regular-intensity light beam would normally
expand across the entire distance from the source to
the detector, our detectors are designed to trigger
based on this forceful stream of electron clusters
continually arriving under their combined expansion
pressure. If such a beam has its source cut off before
arriving, it becomes an orphaned partial stream of
electron clusters in mid-air that is free to dissipate
much of its expansion pressure before reaching the
detector. This is rather like a string coiled against
a wall, which shoots away from the wall and strikes
a nearby target when it allowed to uncoil. If the
wall is removed part-way through the uncoiling
process, the spring is unable to launch itself
forward with its normal full strengh and strikes
the target with much less force. In fact, depending
on when the wall is removed, the spring may not even
make it all the way to the target. Similarly, the
space between the source and the detector in the
double-slit experiment may be filled with bursts
of unseen partial light beams that are unable to
trigger the detector but nonetheless pass through
the slits and interfere with each other much as before.
The occasional beam that is supplied by the source
long enough to be detected (currently thought of as
a single photon fired across the distance) would still
be affected by interference between these unseen
light beams; it would simply take longer to build up
the interference pattern at the detector". (from Mark
Mccutcheon .... note I don't believe in his theory
in general, just want to point out his alleged
explanations of the double slit experiment and apply it
elsewhere (to Sefton and Y.Porat hypotheses))

What do you think guys?

The double slit is one major contribution to Quantum
Mechanics. To take apart QM, you have to first deal
with the weak points. If one can debunk the double
slit experiment esp the single photon producing
interference over months thing, then de_broglie is
debunked and so the rest of the domino fall. I'm
thinking of ways of how to support Y.Porat electrons
as NOT probability clouds but connected to the nucleus
like some sort of tree (also adding Sefton assertion
that the nucleus eject electrons) by reinterpreting
the double slit experiments.
