The Infamous Double Slit Experiment

For my money, I would bet that light (photons) are not moving relative to us. Instead, we observers are moving – or rather, inflating – relative to light.

That would mean that light is a static entity that does not MOVE at all relative to us.

What is LIGHT, anyway?

Light is divisible to an observable ray (that is, half-wave, half-object) that we call a PHOTON.

From our point of view, photons are singular observable units of light that are moving relative to us and to each other.

Relative to LIGHT – which is constant in time and space – we human observers are massive objects experiencing a gravity-conquering expansion. Thus we observe ourselves living within the controlled bounds of mass and gravity here on Earth. Through the effects of gravity, this mass offers short-term relative compression against the all-powerful Inflation that we observe occurring in the outer reaches of the universe.

But this Inflation is universal, and Hubble’s Expansion of the universe is pervasive from atoms to galaxies, not withstanding the short-term effects of gravity.

From our vantage point, the universe seems to expand when we observe its far-away edges. But here in the CENTER of the Expansion, we feel safe observing this Inflation within the comfortable realm of our massive blue Earth. And light itself appears to move away from us in all directions – and always at the same relative speed.

But if – as I propose – light is NOT moving in either time or space, then its apparent expansion (ie., its light cone) is actually a measure of our relative movement in reference to IT.

Macro observations of the universe confirm that the universe is expanding.

Micro observations of light show us that light ALSO expands – and forms a light cone over time.

When we ‘observe’ a photon, we determine its exact position in time and space relative to any other photon. Thus the Double Slit Experiment confirms that observation of said photon changes its outcome. (When the particle is NOT observed, it reverts to a set of many possible outcomes. That is, it becomes a WAVE. When the particle IS observed, it takes on a definite position in time and space – which makes it a particle.)

Observation of the particle determines its relative size and allows us to confirm its relative expansion via its light cone.

When we do not observe the particle, not only do we not know its relative SIZE, we do not really know for sure if it is expanding or contracting – and by extension, we are not able to observe whether we ourselves are moving forward in time (inflating) or moving backwards in time (deflating).

Thus, in my opinion, Inflation and Contraction are subject to the Full Anthropic Principal.
