"I analyse the space-time from out of Universe. "Quite.
Come on x, lets see your sums.
I've made the same and didn't find any relativity violations...
and QED doesn't try to say exactly what the six different quark flavours actually represent.

If we start the experiment with the ball numbered 3528 we must complete the experiment with the same numbered ball (3528). This is an undefined principle; but it is absolute requirement.
Thank you BC - you have cracked the code for me.QuoteIf we start the experiment with the ball numbered 3528 we must complete the experiment with the same numbered ball (3528). This is an undefined principle; but it is absolute requirement. Allow yourself to think in terms of the photon only existing at the interaction (what happens at each end) and the wave function being what describes the situation in between source and detector (on the way). The need for a particular photon to follow a whole journey is now eliminated.The way to deal with modern ideas is not to insist on bringing all your old ideas with you. Every significant step that has been made in the past has required similar leaps away from 'comfortable' and established views.The reason that experiments have not dealt with individual photons is not just a 'technical difficulty'; it is fundamental.
CORRECT: We can measure the velocity of light by using perpetual/flowing photons.
If we can use the halves of single photon we would determine different number of interference.
QuoteCORRECT: We can measure the velocity of light by using perpetual/flowing photons.How can you say that? You can measure the time between the emission and reception of some light energy. No one has a CLUE about how it travels. It may be 'perpetual, flowing photons' or it may not be. All we know is the effect the experiment gives.QuoteIf we can use the halves of single photon we would determine different number of interference.But it isn't just 'halves' of photons which are involved; every flow of em energy follows the 'rules' of diffraction. The two slits experiment is the very simplest (although, of course, the slits have finite width, in practice and have their own associated diffraction pattern). If you insist that the photon exists as 'fractions' you have to allow it to spread, in the limit,in all directions and be spread everywhere. Where's your 'little bullet' now?The Photon, as a concept, is a useful thing to explain many interactions but trying to use it when describing the propagation of em energy is seriously fraught. We are on to a loser if we insist in saying what anything 'really is' and this (what I am criticising) is an excellent example of that statement.
xersanozgen, Copernicus didn't determine that the Earth went around the Sun, he suggested it. What he was originally trying to do was produce more effective tide tables for navigators and this heliocentric system did just that - coupled with the observation that fewer epicycles were needed to account for some planetary orbits this way. Because it was a 'tidier' system in the mathematical sense it was seen to be right, by him and one or two others; elegance is still important in pure mathematics. He was never able to demonstrate his system directly.
