Mr. donh: "Give me a break. Modern physics explained the two-slit phenomenon, the black-body phenomenon, resolved dozens of otherwise inexplicable notions about the universe, not least of which, is the question, 'Where do the heavy elements get cooked up?'--gave us transistor technology, atom bombs, x-ray machines, and led us to the basic components of matter."

Mr. Stolyarov: You have not provided a link as to how these fenomena are explicable via modern fysics; how relativism and the macroscopic rejection of the obvious account for them or any modern technological feature. Your arguments are especial non sequiturs where practical accomplishments are concerned, as I can claim that these derive from partially true aspects of given modern theories that are consistent with the Indentity Principle, but these by no means prove the entire theories to be true.

I don't think I really need to supply a link for something that we should have learned in high school.

One explication of the two slit experiment is that light is both a continuous wave and a discrete particle. As these are mutually exclusive states, in classical physics, classical physics declines to offer an explanation at all.

You have not "provided a link" as to how the invariance is "explicable" via classical physics.

Your arguments are especial non sequiturs where practical accomplishments are concerned, as I can claim that these derive from partially true aspects of given modern theories that are consistent with the Indentity Principle,

No, you cannot. Entanglement, in all it's various manifestations is a straighforward violation of the principle of identity. Some aspect of a discrete particle of light goes through both slits at once.
