Modern understanding of the subject has shown that the conditions in Taylor's experiment were not in fact sufficient to demonstrate this, because the light source was not in fact a single-photon source, but the experiment was reproduced in 1986 using a single-photon source, and the same result was obtained.
O coñecemento moderno da materia demostrou que o experimento de Taylor non era suficiente para demostralo, porque a fonte de luz non era de feito unha fonte dun único fotón, mais o experimento foi reproducido en 1986 empregando unha fonte dun único fotón, e obtívose o mesmo resultado.
