"Zones of Avoidance” and photons with wavelength?


PSI Blog 20190105 "Zones of Avoidance” and photons with wavelength?


By Jesse Witwer:

I must admit that I keep being more and more shocked at the ability of the church of Relativity to ignore the obvious.

So, they discover "Zones of Avoidance" where visible light doesn't penetrate which they then acknowledge that dust is preventing it by blocking "shorter wavelength photons". Again, I just don't even understand how photon's have wavelengths....do cannon balls have wavelengths? At any rate, if  electromagnetic radiation (EMR) travels through perfectly empty space ad infinitum, it is impossible that certain wavelengths will be blocked and not others. I mean, either the "photons" hit the dust and refract in a diffuse manner or they don't. Wavelengths only make sense for waves and you cannot have wave/particle duality.

Sigh. Even trying to understand the logic of photons with "wavelengths" is really just too idiotic. A quick glance at Quora answers trying to explain how photons have wavelengths is enough to turn one’s stomach (https://www.quora.com/How-does-a-photon-have-a-wavelength). Only one guy had a clue, saying you have to consider one or the other.....a prime indicator that you have a fundamental error:
“Your question is actually a very interesting one. One of the basic concepts of quantum mechanics is that particles and waves are actually the same thing : we call this wave-particle duality (Wave–particle duality - Wikipedia) At our macroscopic lev...”

And this on "Zones of Avoidance":

    Glenn,

    You know that scientists who are happy to disregard traditional determinism and physical CAUSALITY are just as happy to say that photons CAN be refracting and NOT refracting within the same speck of time/space. According to that sad excuse for logic, matter (including photons, according to mainstream science) is composed of virtual particles popping in and out of existence by random chance. They are happy to say, "Matter doesn't really exist".

    Children who grow up with religious immaterialism being pounded into their little skulls grow into adults who have no problem living with cognitive dissonance.

    My 2¢ - always beating the obvious to death.
    Peace & Love,
    Rick Doogie

The Blogger / Google login status, and the ability to post comments, is sensitive to both cookie and script filters. Your readers may need to enable (stop filtering) "third party cookies", in their browser and on their computer. The effects of the newly unavoidable CAPTCHA, and the Google "One account" login, requires third party cookies, even more than before.

Third party cookies filtering, in a browser setting, is the most common solution, overall - but your readers may have to search for other filter(s) that affect their use of Blogger / Google.

Any filters are subject to update, by the creator. If the problem started a few days ago, your readers may have to look on their computers, and find out what product or accessory was updated, a few days ago.
