Hi.
I'm new on this forum. Really, I am more philosophical, than scientist. I have been studying the universe, and absolutely everything that goes with it.

Found myself having to become more aquainted with science now, because I have such new ideas, and I have been finding that my predictions are working well in science.

Anyway.. I work at home with no equipment, so I have to just accept experiments that have been conducted over the years, and I have to believe them, and hope that no mistakes were made.

I need to find out what would happen if a single photon were passed through about 300 slits. Has this ever been tried before?

Any experiment with more than two slits will be interesting.

Does anyone know if I could create my own device, or is that not possible at home.

Anyway. I am close to making some great discoveries!

Please help!

Pincho.

Yes, such things have been done. You need a minimum of 2 slits to get interference patterns but it's demonstrable in systems with any higher number of slits. Google will easily find you many examples.
