Interference:
"Two different energy events cannot pass through the same point at the same time. When one energy event is passing through a given point and another impinges upon it there is an interference.
"There is a unique and limited set of angle and magnitude consequences of interfering events. These resultants may always be depicted as vectors.
“When there is an interference of two similar magnitude energy events, there is a co-equal pattern of interference resultants, as when two knitting needles slide tangentially by one another. When one converging body of an interfering pair is much larger than the other, the little one ‘seems’ to do all the resultant moving as viewed by an observer small enough to see the small converger’s motion-- as for instance human beings see a tennis ball hit the big ball Earth and see only the tennis ball bounce away, The Earth being too big to be seen as a ball by the viewer and the relative bounce-off deflection of the Earth’s orbit from the tennis ball point of impact, being too small for detection.”
