In a comment to my question someone stated the following:
"photons do not travel at some definite number of oscillations per second. In fact, they do not "travel" at all, no more than electrons or other quanta do, as by the Uncertainty Principle they don't have a definite speed and/or trajectory"
Nobody objected or denied it, can someone explain what that actually means?
- Does it mean that they do not have a definite/straight/regular trajectory and they wander erratically or that they have none at all? Can you try to graphically describe their motion ?
It is generally thought that QM describes weird things, laws and phenomena that are quite different from macroscopic world, can you be precise about one feature, please, i.e if it respects the basic old tenet "Natura non facit saltus":
- Does QM allow a particle to disappear from a point and reappear in another point that is not continuous to it? If so, what is the explanation?
