Is it already known why a photon behaves like a wave, when there are two holes, and like a particle when there is only one?
Because recently, as I was reading, it became clear that when they closed one slit, the photon, during its journey, "knew" that it would encounter one hole and behaved like a particle, but when they exposed two holes, it "knew" that it would encounter two and behaved like a wave. Is it already known in 2023 "how the photon knows what it will encounter?" (so-called Young's experiment)
