Intro - If air is forced out of a tuned pipe it will produce a certain frequency. Can sound be produced by a single atom? It takes multiple conditions to create the wave effect known as sound. Why is the same not considered for light and its observed properties? The objection of tuned slits scared me for a moment. I sing so when I produce a sound in my throat that my mouth isn't shaped for, the sound degrades or completely collapses due to interference. The same can apply for photons and slits based on its interaction with gravity. Changing the size of the slits affects the gravitational distortion.

This hypothesis is based on current scientific data and mainstream theory about the dual slit experiment. A widely accepted version is available at Wikipedia. The hypothesis is derived applying Perpetualistic concepts to known scientific data and theory.

While observing the world around us, the concept of the interference of light can seem somewhat baffling. The dual slit experiment has confounded more minds than most in recent analysis. It spawned the concept of wave/particle duality. A concept that will possibly be clarified here.

These are some of the reasons the interference of light is questioned.

1. Lasers essentially combine light into a focused beam, where is destructive interference when focusing them from multiple sources?

2. Supernova can outshine entire galaxies, again where is the destructive interference?

3. It doesn't do this in between the atoms/molecules of air or water, why are these slits seemingly magical?

4. Photons are in a constant state of flux, so it is therefore mathematically impossible for them to interfere. (Prove light is a wave without this experiment.)

Destructive interference seemingly only happens in the presence of matter.

To understand this, we must question what it is we are studying, which in this example is light. So what is light?

Light is Electromagnetism

Electromagnetism follows a pathway

Gravity is that pathway for light (and other things)

Gravity is a Wave

Waves Interfere

Perhaps it is Gravity (the pathway of light) that is interfering

Lets check the Math.

If Light is infinitely small. It gets infinitely close relative to the atom, as light fits anywhere. This results in an infinitely small distance and Gravity is a local effect.

Gravity x Infinity = Infinity (The distance involved in the r value for the equation of the force of gravity is infinitely small and Gravity gets stronger with proximity) I am a firm believer that somehow Math has completely dominated Science when Math is a tool of Science. Math can state things that are completely incorrect and is entirely overvalued in the science world. It is used to bully an otherwise rational thought based entirely on a misconception. Especially in this instance.

Any source of gravity is strong enough if you can get close enough to it.

*Because Gravity is a local effect, the strongest source in this case is the dual slit apparatus.

Light is infinitely small and can get incredibly close to the edges of the slits.

Speed of Light = Speed of Gravity

Math looks good. Concept sound.

All things affected by gravity will display interference properties in the dual slit experiment.

*(Addition:) Because light effectively has no mass, any object used to verify this hypothesis must exhibit extreme enough gravity to warp space enough to alter the path of light. The reason I mention this is that in the bowling ball experiment, the disturbance of the pathways in space is enough to affect objects with mass, but not light, which is considered to not have mass.

*Placing detectors at the slits will prohibit energy in the experiment from getting close enough to the edges of the slits to be affected by the gravity of atoms. The atoms at the edges of the slits alter the path of light in a similar fashion to a satellite redirecting near a planet. This is why light wraps around corners. Light is infinitely small and gets so close to atoms atoms at an edge without being absorbed, it get a gravitational redirect from the edge.

Note: I originally thought the center of the apparatus was the repeating shadow in the interference pattern. This is debunked by the results of the single slit. Which also seems to be influenced by gravity.
