About Photon Interference Through Two Slits

Abstract

The interference of laser photons (λ=532 nm) when they pass through two slits of the same width has been studied. The interference is observed up to the value S≈11 mm between the slits. Based on this, the assumption has been made that all elementary particles are soliton formations of the electromagnetic field. Solitons of classical physics exhibit the properties of a wave and a corpuscle, thus, we have an explanation of the corpuscular-wave nature of elementary particles as a phenomenon of classical physics. For the formation of solitons, the presence of a medium with the properties of dispersion and nonlinearity is necessary, and this contradicts the foundations of SRT. In this regard, a number of problems related to the foundations of SRT have been analyzed. It has been established that SRT does not pass the verification by the correspondence principle, since at low speeds the Lorentz transformation of time does not pass into the Galilean transformation. This means that SRT cannot be a physical theory. The reader’s attention is drawn to the fact that the relationship between the mass of a body and its internal energy, as well as the dependence of the mass of a body on the speed of its motion, do not belong to the problems of the theory of relativity, and therefore, their experimental confirmation cannot be an argument in favor of SRT. It is shown that the idea of the independence of the speed of quanta on the speed of the frame has a direct experimental refutation – the
results of measuring the rotation periods of Io (a satellite of Jupiter) taking into account the addition and subtraction of velocities make it possible to obtain results for the speed of light with an accuracy of 1% of the reference value. This is a direct experimental refutation of the SRT.
