ZapperZ said:Secondly, "oscillating molecules in these devices"?
You have shifted your position so often,
1) I am just responding to your shift in focus to xray crystal diffraction from single slit and double slit diffraction. In all of these cases the light passes through some sort of molecules, those of the crystal or those of air.
ZapperZ said:It is no longer clear WHAT you are claiming.
2) Evidently we both agree now that neither single nor double slit diffraction has be shown in a vacuum and now that xrays from a synchroton have not been diffracted in a vacuum since a crystal is not a vaccum.
Therefore there is no direct evidence that light travels as a wave with the interference properties of a wave, in a vacuum even though as Michelson et al showed in 1915 after Michelson's death that light somehow travels in a vacuum at a speed very close to its speed in air.
