jwoodward48 ★★★★☆ (1537)	I don't get how that relates.

When you turn on the light switch, electricity flows to get the job done. There are many countless electrons flowing in one direction (at any given point in time) but there are also simultaneously a few that are flowing in the opposite direction. Does it matter? Is the electron flow somehow interrupted by the few electrons moving against the flow? Not at all. It is like a fast moving car being hit head-on with a few grains of sand. .

jwoodward48 ★★★★☆ (1537)	But that's not how light works. Light can't collide with light... And besides, you're now arguing that AGW would have minuscule effects if it existed. I'm not quite as well-read on that. But I think that optical depth might play a part?

Can guitarists use this principle to cancel noise through double pickups? . I don't think i can [define it].

jwoodward48 ★★★★☆ (1537)	Well, yes, light can interfere with light, and even a single photon can interfere with itself, but that's quite different from the scenarios we're discussing. If incoming light cancelled out outgoing light, that would be WEIRD.

jwoodward48 ★★★★☆ (1537)	It's really not expected. If I shine one flashlight into another, the two beams don't cancel. That only happens if they're exactly out of phase with each other. And besides, since they're traveling in different directions, they'd just continue on - imagine two waves "colliding" in the ocean. Maybe if I sit my boat in JUST the right spot, I won't feel the waves - but once they're past that point, they'll keep traveling like nothing happened.

If you are talking about visible light it gets difficult. It can still happen but under "weird" conditions as you mentioned. The guitar example I mentioned is not weird.

The "weird" would be if any light could "bump into" any other light, which would mean that they were matter, and that would have so many effects.

The "weird" would be if any light could "bump into" any other light, which would mean that they were matter, and that would have so many effects. If you take a tank of water, generate waves in it from a single source, and send those waves through two narrow slits, the waves after those slits combine on the other side. In some places they add together, in some places they cancel each other out completely. The same is true with light. ALL moving waves generate interference patterns. Nothing weird about it.

jwoodward48 ★★★★☆ (1537)	Well, yes, but the energy doesn't just disappear. Right? The waves continue past the site of interference like normal? It's only when they're "on top of each other" that they completely cancel.

jwoodward48 ★★★★☆ (1537)	Hmm. This is an interesting topic, and one that I'm not particularly knowledgeable about. (Interference specifically, and I still probably know more than the average person on the topic; I speak relative to my individual knowledge, and what I aim for.)

Some science museums have a demonstration of this in their displays. Not all of them do of course. It tends to be a bulky display.
