Summary/Abstract: This story might begin in a blaze of light, but as it all happened on a microscopic scale, it was hardly a blaze.Certainly, it revolves around diffraction – the way the waves spread when they meet an obstacle or a slit, changing their previous pathways and creating new patterns through interference. Thus, diffraction is a product of intra-action (Barad 2007) between different factors or agencies, including but not limited to the waves, which participate in the phenomenon (Perold-Bull, Costandius 2019). The most direct example of diffraction would be from observing the surface of the water, but experimental physics noticed the same behavior in all types of waves, including sound and (back to the beginning) light (Barad 2007; Carroll 2020; Holzner 2009).
