I've asked this on different websites and never gotten an answer that a laymanlayperson can understand. Most people just say that light does not have a trajectory and then they do some hand waving. If light does not have a trajectory, then how do we receive coherent streams of photons from billions of lightyears away all lining up to produce an image?
