I had a professor once explain it to me like this.

You can't ascribe macroscopic analogies to quantum scale events. It doesn't work because nature on that scale is so different than our everyday experiences.

To sum up the central point - photons don't travel. They don't really exist in flight. You can't sidle up next to light passing from here to alpha centauri and watch it mid-flight. As soon as you do, it's not in flight anymore.

What actually happens in reality is that an electron (or charged particle) over there will move in a particular way, and that makes an electron over here move in a particular way. Nothing else.

We can use a model based on waves to determine, probabilistically, where that effect is likely going to take place. We can also use a model based on particles (photons) to describe the nature of how that effect will act.

But it's just a model. One must be extremely careful that we don't ascribe other properties inherent in the model, such as existence, to the phenomenon being described.

Is that correct?

Please. We in the industry contract that shit out.

This could work. I mean really really work. Toga parties were king in school, so there's an element of nostalgia there as well. Encourage guests to wrap up in a bedsheet like they're a freshman again. Print simple instructions on the back of the ticket for those who never did.

Scary_the_clown mentioned making it adults only. That might make for an excellent show, but from a business perspective it cuts down on the available clientèle. Of course, if instead of a "dinner and theater" type show, it's more of "live entertainment at a bar" type show, then making it adults only could heap massive profits on alcohol. As a bonus it would not be a direct competitor to Medieval Times.

Or do two shows. One family friendly dinner show, then the evening adults-only show.

Dr. Krauss has left, but I may be able to help. I'm no expert though.

The particles literally come from nothing. They aren't leaking in from some field, dimension, parallel universe, etc. It's just an emergent property of space. They don't exist before they appear, and they cease to exist afterwards as well.

When you get down in it, the universe is fundamentally weird.
