The double slit experiment isn't one photon at a time. It's done using something called "coherent light", which is multiple photons, all moving along the same vector and in the same phase. On it's own ...

The future belongs to those who prepare for it, as scientists who petition federal agencies like NASA and the Department of Energy for research funds know all too well. The price of big-ticket ...
