Default The dish problem

Nice concrete example, Mark.
The same conclusion holds if the bulb is so dim, that it only emits one
photon at intervals.

Take a small light bulb, it shines light in many directions.

Place this at the focal point of a mirrored parabolic dish and the
light is predominantly directed in one direction.

In the direction that the dish is pointing, and at a distance, measure
the received light using a light meter.

Remove the dish, and at the same distance, measure the received light
using a light meter from the naked bulb.

One measurement will be higher than the other.

Why do you think this might be ?

Hey OM:

I tell you what. I took just 1 particle wave and shoot the particle
wave into a 60db dish. At the focus I got 1,000,000 partivle waves. I
mean that is 60 db right?

So where did the other 999,999 particles come from? Energy density
from focusing just one particle?

The two slot experiment buttresses the above.

Take 2 parallel slots shoot just one particle wave into just one slot
and 2 particle waves come out the other side.
