Great. As I tried and could not easily grasp them but with your help I may. My take was that these experiments took a particle(normally a photon) and spilt it to produce two particles that combined equal(?) the Energy(?) of the original particle. What differs is that they have two opposing but exclusive properties, Spin? Move them apart and we find that if we change one property the other does as well? If so the best I can get is that we are stretching an object rather than splitting it, as I can imagine a bar where one end is going clockwise and the other anti-clockwise, so the effect we see would exist. But I have great trouble with the idea of two 'particles' being connected in such a way. If it was the case does this mean we will never understand the mechanism? As my understanding is that light is the only measure we can use so we will never observe the 'information transfer'?Diomedes71 wrote:...thanks for the pointer to the bell experiments. Just read wiki's take about bell inequalities and the EPR paradox.
I love Feynman's laymen books, truly one of the great Physicist writers, QED is fantastic....But as Richard Feynman said if your theory disagrees with observation of nature.... Your theory is wrong.!
