Fig. 517.10 Interference Phenomena: Lines Cannot Go Through the Same Point at the Same Time: Interference phenomena: No two actions can go through the same point at the same time. The consequences of this can be pictured as follows:

1. Tangential avoidance (like knitting needles).

2. Modulated noninterference.

3. Reflection.

4. Refraction.

5. Smash-up.

6. The minimum knot or critical proximity.

517.13 All three of these vectorial conditions and all six of these resultants are manifest in cloud chambers, in which the physicist can view with his naked eye the photographed resultants of angular directions and energy-magnitude lengths of the interference patternings that occur when, for instance, they bombard a group of atoms with an accelerated neutron that moves at such velocity as probably to interfere with one or another of billions times billions of atoms present in the elemental “gas” aggregation. From these cloud-chamber interference patterns, physicists are able to calculate much information regarding the interfering components. The cloud chamber makes it obvious that two lines, which are always experimentally proven to be energy vectors, cannot pass through the same point at the same time.
