I especially like his "unitary" theory that comes out of "featureless
extended entities" ...Whatever that is. Is is just me or does this
sound like something out of nothing? His "spring-like" helical
photons that split apart to go through both slits of a double slit is
interesting but doesn't address the fact that a detector placed over
the slits will detect the whole photon going through only ONE slit at
a time. Seems like he put a lot of thought into this but it needs
more work... But still I think there is a lot of value in off-the-
wall suggestions that force you to think deeper about things.
