{Photon Path Wobble anomaly} Project Explains Details.... if you liked this project, feel free to explore my other projects as well... if you guys have any questions feel free to ask XD, this is not measuring spin, but might help to fugure it out.

    This save wasn't purely to demonstrate the wobble illusion, it was mainly because I coundn't explain, y the path "trail" reversed in the opposeite direction. Instend of what i would expect to happen : "A Mirrored Path" ?? I does this happen?

    Okay makes sense, and understandable. that explains y the photons path has a Wobble look. Here's a another Question, why does the "Straight Path" become reversed when the photon is traveling in the opposite direction???

    tpt stores particle positions as floating point a.k.a decimal numbers, but what you see is a discretization of that. For example, if the x position of the photon is 153.324890, what you see on screen is just a photon at x:153. The 'wobble' occurs because the photon is actually following a straight path, but on screen, where coordinates are rounded down, it seems as if the photon wobbled because of the transformation from decimal to not-decimal.

    If that were the case, when the path pattern should only be fliped.... and it is fliped and reversed

    reflected? nothing is reflected

    Thanks for the feedback, how do what work?

    it happens because of the way TPT calculates lines. because the photon is being reflected 180 degrees it follows the same line, regardless of direction the line will always be the same. pixels yo, how do they work.

    Could lead to new developments....about spin?
