Wiseman, re: conservation of mass/energy. What's your answer for the simple cases, like the double-slit experiment? When you start, you have a single photon. When "it" passes through the slit(s), apparently there are at least two "things", one going through each slit. Does this mean the single photon became two photons, and violated conservation of energy?

Probably not...
