Do photons travel like projectile through vacuum or like waves ? Yes.X-ray crystallography equipment has advanced to the level where we can count individual photons at any point on a sphere around the diffracting object. Each photon event has the same energy (if we are using reasonably monochromatic x-rays) and is a discrete pulse, so every photon is a projectile. The angular distribution of diffracted photons corresponds exactly to the intensity function of a diffracted wavefront, so the probability of finding a photon in space is a wave function.Rather like climate change, many people still cannot distinguish between reality (what happens) and a mathematical model (how we describe it). The fact that we need two different models to descibe how photons interact with matter is of no cosmic consequence. My dog licks some people and barks at others. Why? Because, whether or not I can predict her behavior, she is a dog. Photon/electron, dog/cat....models are often useful but rarely complete.
[/color]Nilak : In my opinion, photons travel like waves and all the other particles do the same, they propagate. All the evidence points to this conclusion. I'm totally against the pilot wave theories.
Photons must travel as a wave to explain diffraction patterns, but they interact more as particles. The wave may be of the order of the photon wavelength or larger.The pilot wave theory is the only theory which explains a reality. It is far from being complete though. I would like to know why you don't like it. I tell you, the pilot wave theory will be the base for THE theory of quantum gravity. The thing is there is no pilot wave in my opinion, the pilot wave is the result because space is a projection and it is emergent. It can explain everything in QM and even some unexplained phenomena with a simple realistic interpretation, but a more complete and somewhat different interpretation is needed.There is not only one wave but two waves associated with an elementary particle. When they are combined, they act like a particle, when they are disjointed, each acts as a wave. There are two space waves and a particle.
GR may be correct in principle but it cannot be mathematically correct because there is no limit to the density of energy, which leads to infinities.

To give a more complete description of Entropy you must add all relations of energy. So if you have 4 particles in a set, you have 1+2+3=6 relations and you must add all of them. This gives a semi-classical value on a scale from 0 to 1.To get a fully quantized version, you must do it for each specific quantum state or degree of freedom. Each relation must be multiplied by its entanglement relation 1/2n, where n is the level of entanglement of the relation with n=1 being the maximal level of 50%. Thus, two maximally entangled particles maximize entropy, contrary to what most people would expect...In my theory, only the entire universe as a set has a value of 1 for Entropy!
