Photon

But because the barrier was microscopically thin about 1% of the time, the photon's probability tail extended past it and the photon tunneled through to the detector.

So you have a clear path photon and a tunneling path photon racing over the exact same distance.

Did the tunneling photon beat the clear path photon?

It did.

When they measured the arrival times, the photon that tunneled through the solid barrier consistently arrived at the detector a tiny fraction of a second earlier than the photon that flew through empty space.

And because they were created right at the slit, their paths are linked.

So let's trace these twins.

We'll call them Photon A and Photon B. Photon A is sent on a short, straight path directly to a standard detector screen.

it severs one of the oxygen atoms converting the sulfur dioxide directly into sulfoxide or SSO yeah this process is called photodissociation

photodissociation so the UV light is essentially chopping the molecules down yes but how does that explain the weird Isotope imbalance like why would the UV light only chop down the rare heavy ones and miraculously leave the common light ones alone I mean photon of light doesnt have brain right it doesnt know which isotope hitting

so the Photon doesn't know but the geometry of the cloud does

the geometry Yeah

it all comes down to phenomenon called self shielding which leads to highly unusual process we call Mass independent fractionation

And

Candela, which is Photon.

Exactly.

So do you think this is the receipt for success? Or what changed those two decades ago when they decided, OK, we're going to support, we want to build another big industry and we're going to support those startups, those researchers, those institutes and so on?

I was probably, I don't know how old I was.

Really young, maybe 22, and I wrote a Photon story, and, 'cause I loved Photon.

I don't know why, I just loved Photon, and I have a short, I have a little sh-short Photon story.

I read it the other day.

It's not very good.

And you said, "I want you to have this," but you were very smart 'cause you are Jeff freaking nuclear bomb.

You've, you're, you're completely rocking the comics world.

You're like, "But you can't use it." [laughs] And then, and, uh, but I took it home, and I called Eric Stephenson, and I said, "Eric, Jeff Johns wrote a Photon story when he was a kid." 22 is a kid.

get it.

And then there's the other one, Photon.

Like a frost Atronach.

Sure.

And now, there are some films or some shows, um, that was left off of the list.

Now, we discussed The Marvels, because at the end of The Marvels, um, what is her name in that? What is it, Photon?

Monica Rambeau.

I think-

Oh

... yeah, they call, they call her Photon.

Her mother?

No, her name, no, not Monica, but Monica.

He, he had, what, 15 touchdowns last year.

Like, there is value in that, but I'm with you, Photon.

I want that guy that can just be electric and dynamic.

And we're talking about a guy who had a 61% breakaway percentage.
