   Its odd to me. If we constantly observe a photon, it seems to take one   
   rail in the continuous field, infinite rails for the photon to travel   
   on. But, if we look away, it seems to take all rails at once. Its also   
   strange thinking about being able to see a laser beam when we are not   
   the target, but we can see the photons. Means its not perfect?
