We see dark black fringes in the case of destructive interference of the coherant waves. A darl fringe represents either emitted or reflected energy. Since energy can be neither created nor destroyed but transferred to another system or form. Where do the Photons of the waves go?

When two waves of the same kind come together, both constructive interference (crest to crest) and destructive interference (crest to trough) can be formed. However, for particle waves such as photon and electron, what does the destructive interference mean? Does it mean that particles disappeared? Or just the electromagnetic fields and angular momentum diminished? Because most detectors placed at the screen can only detect particle’s existence, when there is no signal response, or in other words, when a destructive interference is detected, it simply means that there is no particle appeared at that location. Question is where those particles go? Destroyed? Converted to energy? Or depleted? Based on the “Law of Conservation of Mass”, particles cannot be destroyed. Also, the “Conversion between Mass and Energy” can only happen in Big Bang and nuclear reaction. Therefore, the only possible answer is that particles are depleted in the region of destructive interference. Therefore, attraction and repulsion are proposed as the mechanisms for the interference of particles instead of construction and destruction.
According to Yangton and Yington Theory, when two photons come together side by side, they can attract to each other if they are in phase (electrical dipoles in the same direction), or otherwise they repulse to each other if they are out of phase (electrical dipoles in opposite directions). Similar mechanism can be found in electron particle waves. Because electron can be considered as a small magnet, when two electrons come together side by side, they can attract to each other if in phase (north to north), or otherwise they repulse to each other if out of phase (north to south). In addition, for single particle experiment, subject to the traveling time, direction and distance of each particle, both attractive and repulsive interference can also happen.
Furthermore, in Double Slit experiment, when detector is used to detect the traveling particles, the phase angels of the particle waves are changed such that the Double Slit Interference patterns are interrupted and meantime Single Slit Diffraction patterns can be revealed. This explains the wave particle duality in Double Slit experiment. It also proves that “Which-way” experiment and “Complementarity Principle” (in which photons can behave as either particles or waves, but not both at the same time) is wrong, and both particle and wave properties of photon and electron can actually be observed and revealed at the same time. Also, it explains Richard Feynman’s mystery. The possibility to find the particles landed on certain area of the screen is not due to quantum mechanics but because of the contribution of attractive and repulsive interference.
@Edward Wu
Hello, sir. Firstly, I love Yangton and Yington's theory of understanding fundamental particles' interactions between them and their field forces.
You had defined photons as free Wu's pairs that are released from a substance. I doubt it. If a thing is being said as a particle, then It should possess mass. But photons(free Wu's pair) don't possess mass. They are energy carriers or pockets.
How do you state photons as particles and say that they do either attract or repel?
