| Jun 13, 2020 at 13:00 | comment | added | HolgerFiedler | @my2cts Beth detected that it is possible to rotate the photons fields and he measured the recoil from these rotations. | |
| Jun 13, 2020 at 11:54 | comment | added | my2cts | @BillAlsept Richard Beth in 1935 detected photons without absorbing them. See google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://… | |

| Jun 13, 2020 at 5:05 | comment | added | Bill Alsept | When electrons are accelerated they emit billions of photons in every direction. Again it is photons ultimately responsible for the pattern on the screen. | |
| Jun 13, 2020 at 5:01 | comment | added | Andrew.Wolphoe | @BillAlsept Then how about for electrons? | |
| Jun 13, 2020 at 4:58 | comment | added | Bill Alsept | If you are talking about photon (particles) the answer is easy. A photon is detected when it’s absorbed. Place something in the way of the photons trajectory and it will not reach the screen. In other words it will not contribute to an interference pattern. If you place something just before the screen it will create a shadow right there on the screen. | |
