The double slit can be completely explained classically, as is shown here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9yWv5dqSKk&feature=player_embedded#! See https://hekla.ipgp.fr/IMG/pdf/Couder-Fort_PRL_2006.pdf for the scientific publication, and http://arxiv.org/pdf/1304.3719.pdf for the results of a...

Simon, you should realize your answer is merely composed of falacies: We could call a cat an animal, but then why not define everything as an animal? This is not what dsanz says. If somebody does't like coffee, he is not assuming coffee is made to please him Ridicule the argument. Again this...

It is always dangerous to use simplified formulas, as you show here. So is it right to conclude that a free electron will swap its position randomly in space by roughly 1 meter every second (I take Δx = 1 mm and x=1m, and arrive at t=1.4sec)?

Last night the BBC repeated Brian Cox, A Night With the Stars (). At some point a calculation is done using a simplified version of Feynman’s path integral, where the mean time is estimated for a diamond to be found outside a small box: t>\frac{x Δx m}{h} The box was not expected to be...

As the article Joy Christian is referring to was mentioned earlier here this thread wouldn't be complete without mentioning Christian's response (that would be unfair sampling ;)): http://arxiv.org/pdf/1301.1653.pdf

Some suggest the i used in QM might be replaced by reals using Clifford algebra, giving them a geometric interpretation. See for example this discussion: https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=93454

To be clear: the statement from Brian is not about settling energy levels/states like one has to adjust the ocean level when one take a drop out of it. He suggested that every electron somehow is aware of the state of all other electrons in the universe, and adjusts accordingly. One should be...

In all circumstances where the maths predicts testable effects of spacetime curvature it has been confirmed so far. From the precession effects on Mecury, corrections necessary in daily used GPRS systems, existence of black holes etc. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tests_of_general_relativity)...

Is there any real evidence for this? I heard that how the photon slows down is actually not known.

I get results that seems to be equally good as the model 1: Maybe I have interpreted the formula differently: double malus = h.Malus(Particle.Polarization - this.Angle); if (malus > h.GetRandomPlusMin()) // sign(cos(...)) {...

The changed algorithm produces correct results for 'entangled' photons. But I don't see how you initialise not-entangled photons to obtain the classical relation between polarisator angles in the model. Or wasn't this the issue you're referring to? Did de Raedt hint on any possible...

On the http://www.nonloco-physics.000freehosting.com/#personalia"I see about 25 publications in peer reviewed magazines (not counting the ones planned to be published), the last few being in 2007. I would say a little modesty would be in place.

The man seems to have quite an impressive list of what I suppose to be peer reviewed articles. So why call him crackpot?

I was not suggesting any unfair playing by Weihs (re-reading my post I agree it looks a bit that way) :wink:. Furthermore as I said De Raedt has analysed the raw data from Weihs et al. and published the exact relation between the chosen time window and the results...

1. I think the delay is only important when it depends on the angle of the filter. This relation can be equal on both sides. 2. De Raedt's work is based on the same article/data 3. All clicks are tagged, but not all clicks are used (that's why one uses a time window). It appears from the...
