They’ve never heard the advice “Don’t cross the streams.”?

"We are all familiar with tying knots in tangible substances such as shoelaces or ribbon," Mark Dennis, a University of Bristol physicist and author on the paper, said in the statement. "With light, however, things get a little more complex. It isn't just a single thread-like beam being knotted, but the whole of the space or 'field' in which it moves."

That is very weird to try and visualize/think about.

So the expression "Straight as a Laser Beam" is no longer valid?

[elbook]

Sounds like alot of hype about virtually nothing as written

‘knots’ ???

Yes light will form points where reinforced amplitude are present (when the phase of light through that small area is in the same direction by the photons passing through) — assuming you then put a measuring instrument right there . The dark spots are where the phase of photons present cancel each other out (again - to the observer).

This has been know for 100 years ? (easy to demonstrate with the multiple slit experiment with a prism to select a limited frequencies - done in physics 101 optics lab experiments)

So are they saying that such points have an effect on other photons passing near those points ? Why not say that if its what they infer they have done?

Rather more likely its : some variation of the effect mentioned above and just a way better control it and maybe be use to calibrate optical equipment or somesuch.
