I came looking for a quantum entanglement explanation, but I’m as lost as before I started watching this video.

[@bustercam199]

They didn't give the full picture.

[@ElLenadorLA]

Finally wrapping my head around this concept thank you!

[@michaelgardner4602]

the fact that you entertained the possibility that brains are entangled, tells us something, the fact that other's have come to the same conclusion, and even other's have been playing with this, suggests that all information is shared, when conditions are right what you propose or extrapolate is possible, developing an ability to focus and recognize what has been there all along. - my comment is in direct response to the question posed by the two guys at the beginning of the video !

[@towerofresonance4877]

9 years later and I am responding to you... My theory always was proven correct and every 4 and 1/2 years, We go through yet another mental cycle. You think the same things, same patterns, even same people, but with different variables. You seem to have a very deep understanding And I will just keep it at that as things like this keep me awake at night for years on end!

[@devonfunk5991]

[This is my reply to a comment earlier but thought others would find it useful] I know this is late but the best explanation comes from quantum mechanics founding principles which more or less says particles don't have a definite state unless measured. Particles aren't what we think of particles as when they aren't being observed but rather a wave that allows them to exist in multiple states. This video addressed it with Schrodinger's cat which IS BOTH alive and dead at the same time. the act of observation is what makes it become one of the two states. So even if they have the same conditions, they don't have to have the same measured observations because quantum mechanics in nature is probabilities not exact positions. Quantum entanglement is having both the observations linked. The example given is that two particles have a 50/50 chance of passing through the lens; So, you flip a coin and heads it goes through and tails it doesn't. A pair of entangled particles means if one decides to flip the coin (on its way through the lens where it has to) the other has gets the same coin flip. This is important for what shown in the video because if the particle passes through A then the entangled partner has the same chance of passing though B (even though this is the only lens it goes through) as if it went through A first.

[@edsoderlind7568]

one of the best spooky explanations yet thx

[@mrpregnant]

Quantum Entanglement is pervasively known as The God Effect, it’s the synchronicity between spatially separated particles on an infinitesimally subatomic scale regardless of their distance. When entanglement occurs, there’s a correlation between their momentum, velocity and spin in their state of entanglement, and their speed in which information propagates between particles seem instantaneous, regardless of their fluctuation in space. An inseparable relationship first introduced by Erwin Schrodinger in 1935.

[@rainertheraven7813]

This is a scam only. The states are defined at the moment of entanglement. and won´t change at measurement on the other particle.

[@snarzetax]

@@rainertheraven7813 Dr. Bell proved you wrong in the 1970's.

[@CassandraBaileyfireflyazn]

I think what you're explaining here is more of a matter of we as people defining the difference between "one photon in two places" and "two photons in two places". Classical mechanics tells us that one object (a better word to use here would be Particle) exists in only one place at one time. But quantum mechanics tells us that that quantum particle actually exists, at the same time, in every possible instance it could exist in. This concept is known as superposition...really interesting stuff

[@jackpret4547]

Maybe there is an unseen "negative" photon (like holes in electric flow) that moves in the opposite direction that influences the origin of the fired photons hence influence the other. That would have implications on the direction of time! i.e. What must still happen has already happened. Its just that we view time in a "forward" flow with no way of knowing that it actually flows both ways!

[@twitte0king]

Your explanation is gradual and clear, I only wish you got into the actual data of the tallies/coincidence rate

[@SovincPeter]

what i mean is: if there would be something in the atom actually waving (hidden variable) - but we would not know how to observe it. so when a seemingly random thing would happen we would presume it is totally random, but in fact it would actually be a consequence of this hidden wave. - so the fact that two particles far apart "know" for each other state on distance - is because the waves of those two objects are synchronized.

[@qualquan]

clearly describes entanglement from 6:10 onwards information between entangled particle does travel faster than light and is actually instantaneous Einstein should not have said "information" cannot travel faster than light. Only that matter (mass or energy) cannot.

[@95TurboSol]

This is beyond my wheelhouse but I remember scientists showing that it's not information being transmitted, I forget how they did it but it made sense at the time.

[@MrDharma111]

Basically it is impossible to transfer any information , faster than light. Entanglement only proves non-locality. To trust me, you may go through the limitations of quantum teleportation protocol.

[@bustercam199]

No, no, and No.

[@antoncourtois]

I been reading and seeing a lot about this entanglement and I cannot figure out why paired photons could not have been the same from the start?! The that I measure one obviously makes the other the same since they were the same from the start. I think Bell's Experiment did confirm that they had an uncertain polarization at the start, but I don't really get how this had been done... Explanation would be great if someone has one!

[@deepakkumarpatidar3468]

I think ,minutephysics vedio may clear your ambiguous

[@MattPryze]

Watch the video called "Bells Inequality" by DrPhysicsA. It perfectly explains that

[@TheTigero]

This is what I’m trying to understand. This proves that both “split” photons have the same polarization... it doesn’t prove anything else. What am I missing?

[@el3usis622]

Entanglement could just be present versions of a particle interacting with the past version of itself, that would confirm the existence of tachyons. Tying lose ends

[@devout2Jesus]

Yes, quantum states with the same energy have the same probability. The energies and momenta of the photons from the entangled pair are free to take on any values as long as they sum to the energy and momentum of the original photon. In this case, the quantum states are all the possible combinations of energy values and momentum values that the two entangled photons can make that sum up to the same total energy and momentum.

[@xassxass]

This is not so hard to understand- which means i might have got it wrong... But this is waves we talk about. so if you toss a stone into the water- you get circular waves. and if you at one end detect the wave- of course you imidatly know the position of the wave at the other side as well- no matter how far away it is- and given it has been able to move freely.

[@rubbeldiekatz85]

entanglement is also valid for electrons (regarding spin for example).....

[@gdolphy]

Coincidences sounds like another way to say "I don't know". @ time 4:54. there is no particle but just a wave. The filters are breaking up a single wave and reflecting or deflecting the parts in the new direction. If the filters are at proper distance and angle then the wave will be in sync with it's twin. If not then it will be out of phase. Measuring the wave will change it because your either absorbing some of it's energy or adding to it.

[@B04Leverkusen78]

I think the problem we are facing now is how we always interpreted their (sub particles) world the way/ the best we can explain. I mean quantum world is far I'm concern is more complicated than we're expected. For example, me and my buddy had this discussion about how viruses are so resilient in hard condition temperature. Now, I'm thinking how on earth we could tested this validity but our species are evolved from their point of perspective. I mean, these viruses had "more experience" dealing with hard condition temperature than we are possibility know. That is why we are here today. It is like trying to solve a problem with the answer in limited domain. I think getting an opinion from outside the box is really crucial.

[@numoru]

Think of it like a computer. Higher being controls keyboard and mouse( Forces) that send signals through wire (time particles/entanglement fabric) into components (particles,waves), which use more "wire" to communicate with each other. The ending result is what ever the higher being intended (us being his intentions.)These components can operate by different means separately and even as a whole (quantum mechanics), then the program (our "reality") operates (regular physics)...

[@vinaysrivastava4317]

My Theory : The photons don't split in pairs but join in fourth dimension hence creating a four dimensional photon. Obviously if you change the polarization of one will change it for other , by re twisting itself through the fourth dimension.

[@starrychloe]

+Vinay Srivastava Wow I have that same theory!

[@-_Nuke_-]

I think dimensions surely play a role here...

[@milton3204]

Except answers like have already been proven to be wrong.

[@processpsych]

Vinay Srivastava Can you point me in the direction of what you think that fourth dimension is?

[@winsonjacob3554]

Vinay Srivastava When do you want your Nobel

[@rubbeldiekatz85]

What do you mean with "hidden variables"? Schrödingers cat itself is an example of quantum entanglement. The state "atom has not decayed and the cat is alive" is entangled with the state "the atom has decayed and the cat is dead"

[@TheTigero]

Doesn’t this just prove that when a photon is “split”, both halves maintain the same polarization?

[@KrisVuk]

Yes but which one? Check out the Bell Inequalities.

[@foo_tube]

The scientist at (3:17) states that photon's can't be split!

[@vmusatov]

My thought exactly. how did they prove there is a super position in the first place

[@ShopperPlug]

3:33 - I would like to know more in detail by the phrase "the entangle partner snaps into place", you're saying that there is a delay when counting the pair of each photon individually?

[@omarperezr]

This video is great. I know very little about physics , nevertheless, It seems to me that the interpretation of the experiment results depends entrily on the uncertainty principle like Heisenberg thought it worked (particles form is unditerminate until they are measured). In my view, if we do this experiment with no previous conceptions et all, the results could be interpreted differently, for instance, afirming that the uncertinty principle is wrong and simply every photon had a determine form since the biguinning, there is no entanglement and what we have left to find out is why sometimes there are two phonton. Maybe my point of view is just the resistance to 2 suppose consequences of quantum mechanics : 1) believe that reality doesn't exist until it is measured 2) accepting that we can forget about causes to affirm somthing in a complete scientific way. What do you thing?

[@Blackminko]

So I am trying to come up with simple analogy using spinning coins. Please correct me if I am wrong! Imagine having two coins on table. Face one Head up and the other Tail up. Now start them spinning at the exactly same time with the same force. It is not Head or Tail till its spinning, so to stop them you slam your palm on bot of them at the same time. Now when they are not spinning any-more you can see one is Head and other is Tail (or one Tail other Head depending on moment you stopped them). Makes perfect sense. Now the interesting part... Spin the coins again, take one coin far away from the other but make sure the coin doesn't fall and keeps spinning. Then slam your palm on only one of the coins and strange thing will happen, the second coin (no matter how far away) will fall at the exactly same time no mater the distance . Also once you stop the coins the entanglement is gone and they are now just ordinary coins. Am I right?

[@snarzetax]

No. It's more like this, Spin the two coins, when you slam your hand down on the first coin and find it to be heads, you KNOW the second coin will always be tails. Even if you spin them in different rooms(one of them is on the moon), the two coins will always be opposite. Even when you stop one coin and look at it WHILE THE OTHER COIN IS STILL SPINNING, the second coin will still always be opposite the first.

[@Gribbo9999]

Interesting thought but actually photons don't travel at the speed of light through a medium, such as air and filters in this case . This is why we have diffraction though lenses - due to velocity changes. So presumably time isn't infinitely slow for these slowed photons and of course the corollary to this that is space will therefore exist in the photons' universe.

Quantum Entanglement is real not only at microscopic/subatomic scale but also at macroscopic cosmic scale. We now have a working Quantum Theory of Gravity that is testable and complete with reproducible empirical experiments with the same results if repeated over and over again and again, confirmed by empirical observations in nature with 7-Sigma level results, guided by empirical laws and physical/mathematical equations that are predictive and precise. FYI: Quantum Gravity or Quantum Gravitation have three types that are equivalent to and manifested by Quantum Gravitational Entanglement - a Quantum Entanglement at Macroscopic Cosmic Scale namely: 1. Quantum Anti-Gravity = Spin Up Quantum Entanglement State; 2. Quantum Neutral Gravity = Superposition Quantum Entanglement State; and 3. Quantum Gravity = Spin Down Quantum Entanglement State. More detailed information could be found on the published papers 2 years ago in London, Paris, and Zurich, online and at the two scientific Journals ACADEMIA and REAL TRUE NATURE or alternatively, you can google the name of the author ROEL REAL ROVIRA

good description........entangled particles are kind of freed from the bandages of spacetime...............

[@devout2Jesus]

Yes, but only because conservation of energy and momentum creates this link. Of course, quantum interference (comes in a symmetric form - bosonic statistics or in an antisymmetric one - fermionic statistics) can also create a link like that, but between identical particles.

[@gabornagy7187]

It does explain entanglement. Think of photons as gloves. If one of the pair is left handed, the other is right handed. Now as it is explained in the video, 50% of the times a glove will pass a diagonal filter no matter it is left handed or right handed. So you should get 50% x 50% = 25% of cases where they both pass. However this is not what you get! Even if the source plays nice and honestly emits gloves having an already set relation e.g. one left and one right handed gloves together like this: LR, LR, RL, RL, RL, LR, RL, etc. will not change the fact that the two gloves should pass the filters simultaneously in 25% of the cases. You can also understand it another way too. See the upper part of the board describing the entangled case when both filters are set to "North-East". You got coincidences (both gloves passing simultaneously). Now without changing the upper filter, you turn the lower filter to "North-West" direction and what happens? You got no coincidence. Just by changing the lower filter you magically changed the number of gloves passing through both filters. So measuring the glove flying toward the lower filter changed the number of simultaneous passes through the filters. The gloves could not possibly negotiate it at the source: "Hey, by the time you arrive to your filter, and your filter was turned to "North-East", I promise I will not pass, otherwise I will pass". The other glove would certainly ask: "OK, but how shall I know the position of your filter?" The kind of negotiation taking place between the gloves is therefore immediate when they arrive at their respective filters or our fundamental conception of time is absolutely wrong, which latter I believe very much.

[@johannespanagiotopoulos4917]

There is linearly polarized light, but there are no linearly polarized photons the photons are left or right handed depending on the direction of their spin with respect to their motion.

[@Roberttttttttt]

So what is quantum entanglement?

[@starrychloe]

Can you capture and store some of those entangled photons, ship them off, then use the filter to measure them? That way you can turn the filter horizontal to measure a horizontal photon and you know its pair is also horizontal. Encode that with 0. Then turn the filter vertical to measure a vertical photon, while its pair is also vertical. Encode that with 1. Then you can transmit bits and bytes faster than the speed of light.

[@unitednerd7414]

I have wondered the same thing.

[@snarzetax]

Can we capture an individual, entangled photon in order to "read" it later? No, we cannot. If you figure out how, they'll probably give you a nobel prize.

I actually saw this comment after i left another response on you. But there's actually an experiment(google "bounding the speed of spooky action at a distance") where they proved that the exchange of information between entangled particles is actually faster (by at least 10,000 times) than light.

[@jenniferweinberg5693]

Mallory Knox its not fast. fast means movement. from one location, to another. therr is no movement. there is no transferring​. there is no connection between the two particals thru space between then. infact there is no two particals. its one partical in all space in all time. simple no. but it happens

[@FerAdventures]

I would have been nice to get a diagram. The explanation is loose. I understood that you have to thin crystals "stacked up"? If they have different polarisation light won't go throw both, so I don't really understand what is going on here.

I will not discuss this with the main stream tools who think they know something .

[@elmerjones8075]

This has perplexed me for a long time. When the pair is produced how can you prove that their polarization isn't already determined at the time of production? Like any measurement, You don't know what it is until you measure it. Because of the law of conservation they are produced in accordance with that law. If you measure one then you will know the other by deduction. How can you say that measuring one changes the other when they were initially produced to obey the conservation law?

[@bustercam199]

This is a good point. The reality is that even though the Bell inequality is hopelessly confusing, it actually does not rule out all local hidden variables that could exist in these experimental arrangements.

[@MindCrazedBanjo]

Maybe this goes some way to explaining why twins feel each others pain even thought they're both estranged.

Maybe there is no separation of the particles as they are thinking but they are one and same -its just their point of view that they are separate in space -different aspect of same thing. All points in space are equal and there is no distance. Its just the point of view in space of the observer If something is here why must they assume that something is somewhere else, it maybe just a matter of perception.

[@rainertheraven7813]

Fully my opinion. The whole Qteleportation is a scam only.

[@adam3141]

This seems contrary to what I have read. If two photons are entangled and you measure one to be horizontally polarized then the other one should be vertically polarized. Same with electronics, one will be spin up, the other spin down.

Hi Eric. Thanks for clearing this up.

Not bad thinking. Nevertheless, rather abstract indeed. Here are some solid facts. Firstly, for two objects, particles - with or without mass - to occupy the same space ("in the same place") violates a fundamental condition of this universe. Secondly, for photons (or any particle) to exist without time or space is a contradiction in terms. Without time or space nothing can exist, not even in your head. If you don't believe it try it.

[@sahilsandhu1969]

This doesn't explain anything. Even if the photons were not entangled, there would be no coincidence on orthogonal polarizing filters as their polarization was parallel from the very beginning when they were generated. Can anyone explain or correct me If I am missing something

I still don't understand how this contradicts the "Gloves" idea of Einstein. I mean if we measure one we know that the other is in the same state or polarize in the same fashion. But as Einstein said that only means that if you find a "right glove" then you know that its match it would be a "left glove" I know that there are scientist that said this approach is wrong but still I haven't heard any clear explanation of why is the case. If any one can explain this for dummies let me know

[@agrid]

I am not sure from the experiment yet, but giving it a thought I realize this: every photon that is created get the wave function till measurements disrupts its quantum state. so for example, if you measure one photon, it would have a certain polarization, if you measure the one behind this photon it would have a different polarization, and so on, as photons appearing one after the other are not entangle in the moment they measure them and the wave function collapses, they will not have same polarization, it would be random. But with particles that are created entangled. Both photons have the wave function, and every time they measure one the other gets same polarization. which doesn't happened with the other particles that are created one after the other. I am not sure if is how I explained it here, but if it is then sure einstein is wrong.

[@agrid]

Hongyi Xin *photons always go straight lines* yeah, but I guess here we are measuring polarization not the particle property of the photon, I mean here we are measuring how it passes through some filters, and not how it smashes agains a wall per say. But yeah, still not sure tho. it was just a thought.

[@AnnaelleD]

Pablo Rozzotto For me, this just proves that when particles are twin particles, they have the same polarization. And that is not strange at all and doesn't contradict anything known.

[@IgnantNoob]

This experiment isn't a way to measure whether spooky action is going on, it's a way to examine whether entanglement is going on. Entanglement could occur without spooky action (i.g Einstein's gloves); however, Bell's experiment indicates that spooky action is actually occurring with entangled particles.

[@pushkarsoni8927]

Pablo Rozzotto right bro but i will believe in this experiment when this is true - " two polarized are entangled when we measure it our first measurement told us that both are horizontal by measuring the one and again when we measured the same entangled photons after passing through polarizers we get both as vertical photons ,i.e,. we get different result every time by measuring same entangled photons;" by the way is this experiment is the proof of quantum entanglement /

[@MrMike4uk]

everything in the universe is connected because everything came from the big bang , even time. or did it ?

If two cars leave St. Louis. One car is red and the other is blue. One of the cars (we don't know the color) drives to NYC, the other drives to LA. If I see the blue car in NYC, I can automatically assume the LA car is Red. if two photons are created with the same properties, then of course, I can measure one and the other will have the same properties as the first. What am I missing?

[@TheSundaysLive]

You comparing apples and oranges, when we are dealing with the very "small" like photons "things" are in superposition, the photon is red and blue at the same time. Now let's say that when a photon is polarized horizontally it is blue and when it is polarized vertically it's red. In St. Louis you did not look at the entangled photons they are still in superposition, red and blue at the same time, when the photons are at their destinations and you still have not looked at one of them the photons are still in superposition. When you look at the photon in NYC the superposition will immediately stop and the photon will be blue or red. When it is blue, the one in LA will also be blue, when it is red the one in LA will also be red, spooky action at a distance!

[@jjmurray327]

The Sundays Music Once again, I don't think I understand your analogy. When these particles are created, we have a priori knowledge of their "identicalness". If I don't know what color the cars are that are leaving St. Louis, but they are both painted the same color before leaving St. Louis, when one arrives in New York and I see that it is blue. I can assume the other is blue. The two photons are created to be identical and so it is no surprise that when I measure the properties of one, the other will have those same properties. OR if two electrons are created having opposite spin then the measurement of one should tell me the properties of the other. What am I missing?

[@TheSundaysLive]

James Murray A quantum particle exists in all it's possible states, when a particle interacts it will have only one state, measuring or looking is an interaction. Like your cars are blue and red at the same time, only when you look they are red or blue. So when particles get entangled they still exists in all their possible states, we do not have a priori knowledge of their state, when one of the entangled particles gets measured, both will have one state as result depending on the one measurement.

[@jjmurray327]

ahh, but we DO have a priori knowledge that the particles were created identically. We cannot apply entanglement to any two photons (or other small particles). They have to be created in a special way that gives us a priori information about the pair. So I don't know what color my cars are, but once I see the blue one, I already know the other is blue BECAUSE of how I created them. Same with the particles, I'm creating them as a "matched" pair, why would that change over distance? (I'm not trying to be obtuse, but I don't see how distance would ever change the property of the identical particle. So I can think of the particles having the same wave function that collapses the same way as the other one.)

[@TheSundaysLive]

James Murray No not at all obtuse it's very interesting and you might very well be right, they might have the same wave function but still replace LA with Alpha Centauri, mind blowing to think that the wave function collapse for the photon at Alpha Centauri and NYC when you take a look in NYC, although you have to wait 4.37 years in NYC to take a look, and provided you can keep your photon "alive" plus entangled.

Researches have shown that Mars didn't survive because it has no magnetic field around it's core, and that Earth's super magnetic field is a important factor in the Earth's survival. Can that magnetic field be created on Mars? I mean if a great amount of magnetic rock are buried in Mars's core, will that magnetic field be able to be created? And will life finally be possible on Mars? thanks.

[@numoru]

Thought about something. If this particle was real it would have to be faster then light.irrational. But what if this particle wasn't, a particle...what if it was a connection. The connection between entangled particles and non-entangled particles. The particle connection would act as a universal "mail-person" who takes short cuts (through space), It relays universal command codes to particles that tell them what to do, where to go,even how to react to forces and particles around them...

[@numoru]

Discovering time waves we will find the answer to a unified field.

[@gunterra1]

In that case we will never find the answer as there are no time waves to be discovered.

[@luckyrook1246]

This is cool. It seems (to a layman like myself) that they have demonstrated only that the 'entangled' particles are coordinated in state but not that their states continue to be entangled after one of the states has changed. I think I must be missing something?

[@alchemy1]

So if one entangled photon doesn't go through, the other doesn't go through. Where is the mystery in that? Sure since they are both polarized the same way.... What? Did I miss something?

[@sreeganesh2870]

IS INSTANT COMMUNICATION POSSIBLE WITH QUANTUM ENTANGLEMENT? If it's possible, then it would be an excellent mode for faster communication.

[@enderallygolem]

Apparently teleportation may be possible

[@snarzetax]

no

[@bustercam199]

nope, and neither with entanglement either.

[@JonathanDLynch]

I am sure this is ignorant on my part, but I find it hard to believe that the polarization is not already determined, in some fashion, before it is measured.

[@snarzetax]

Dr. Bell proved it is not predetermined in 1972.

[@JonathanDLynch]

@@snarzetax I believe you.

[@bluepacman13]

What happens when you alter one photon that is entangled in the past? Is it possible to alter the past, information wise? Think of it, the pho-tonic light that we see from stars far way is really billions of years old. So what if someone alters one of those photons' material composition that is on earth, is it possible that alteration can effect the photon on the other end of the entanglement? hmm

[@yusuf1597]

I may be wrong, but I believe that's how time machines work.

[@Jopie65]

By measuring you cannot control how you alter the state.

[@YuenTinYan]

My chirper @quantumphysics brings me to here loll

[@gavinlew8273]

Maybe the photon went back in time to communicate with the entangled photon. So it's not really spooky action at a distance but more like time travel. :D

[@bustercam199]

No, it's not that complicated.

[@pondeify]

i find this deeply worrying

[@spectred88]

Here's where I'm having issue with in this experiment: What exactly is 'splitting' the photon. Because if the very act of passing through a polarizing crystal splits the photon into two photons of the same polarization (through the very act of 'splitting') then you would always get the same results when they do hit in such a way as to split ala einstein's hidden variable theory. Non-coincidental photons would just be the raw photons that managed to pass through the crystal without performing the 'splitting' interaction. The crystal would have bestowed a variable upon the split photons leaving the entire experiment explainable without entanglement. (the photons could have split on one crystal or the other or neither, but if they hit one then they both took on its polarization, meaning that when measured they'd always be the same) Can someone please explain to me what these 'crystals' are doing? Ideally send it as a message to my account so I'm sure to get it and post it as a reply for others with the same question. I'm really curious. I'm going to hunt elsewhere for the answer too and reply to myself with any findings :) (like this if you're curious and want to pin it near the top of the comments)

[@unitednerd7414]

Yeah, I also dont understand how two particals being generated by the same filter and theirfore having the same polerization is the same as "entaglement", where one partical magicaly changes in response to the other. Maybe I am misunderstaning the explanation. Please correct me if I am wrong.

[@gunterra1]

I think, you should go back to the txt books and check them over again and find something you have misunderstood, my friend.

[@WaterMan-ss6eb]

this shit is so interesting. the greatest thing about all this is the non locality seems to occur faster than the speed of light! WOW ! I mean how can that be? that is the question that came to my mind after watching this. sort of like why is all the energy in the universe tied up as matter? could entanglement and its un-entanglement release the energy in say a grape? great way to produce energy and not have to use a nuclear rxn.

[@tobyihli9470]

The photons pass through the two crystals one by one? Then, sometime the photons get split in two? Photons can’t be split into two. Can’t do it. Wouldn’t be prudent! The photons themselves don’t know what position they are in until they are measured. Photon KNOW THINGS? REALLY? That’s amazing. Just as amazing, they are somehow conscious that someone just measured them, 😮 So, he has a”polarizer” that what, forces the photons to align, or just measures the alignment? Two by two photons? How does he know when an photon coming through is an entangled one? Whether or not it gets through. I’m getting boggled, because I’m trying to follow you when my questions concerning things I should know to enable me to keep following are unanswered. At that point, if I can’t stop you, then I must begin to simply go along with everything you say, including your conclusions. Therein lies the problem.v There have been social experiments by psychologists that show that 75% of people will believe and agree with the majority, despite what they may or may not have observed right in front of them. LAST BUT NOT LEAST, those percentages of the results are too perfect. You ran the tests over and over and always got perfect splits of 50% and 25%. Yeah, right. All nice and neat in perfect little packages. You really think we’re stupid, don’t you?

[@Braun09tv]

Yeah, is it entanglement or just synchronized, clones.
