Great article, never thought about the relationship between refraction and momentum. Another amazing relationship is to apply a wave function to one of the particle sizes. Let one of the particles expand and contract at a certain frequency which adds to the dynamics of the collision (ie. if...

Tell us about how the game works. Is it real time? Do you calculate forces between frames?

Did not know this. Is there an example that would highlight the effect?

From the article: "Alice’s result (the prediction which she makes for Bob’s result) is immediately sent back to Bob via coaxial cables. If Alice detects no photon, Bob counts this as an inconclusive event from Alice (0)." They are throwing out all the "non-matches" as inconclusive. These would...

You are correct that the Jones vector does not predict perfect correlations at any angle. Do you have a reference for an experiment that has achieved "perfect correlations at any angle" without throwing out the non-correlated particles?

You cannot call a Jones vector a "hidden variable" wrt Bell inequalities since it does not match the model that Bell examined. Specifically, the Jones vector does not give "absolute" numbers (only probabilities) when measured outside the basis vector. Bell assumes a "absolute" match between...

Maybe I am missing something here. The Jones vector gives absolute numbers for u or d if measured on a basis vector, and the correct probability of an u or d measurement (cos^2 of the angle from the basis vector) when off the basis vector. Does not assuming the entangled particles have the same...

Assuming the particle can be described by it Jones vector and that entangled particles have matching Jones vectors, why invoke superdeterminism?

In itemizing the possibilities, aren't you missing 3) It is an intrinsic property that is acquired when the particles are entangled?

I am just wondering if there is some way or online site to contact and/or hire "professionals" (students or otherwise) to get calculations done, kind of like a "angie's list" when looking for a plumber. One can do all the calculations themselves, but it saves a lot of time and significantly...

Is there a place on physicsforums or elsewhere to get physics calculations done and/or double checked? When doing computer animations, many straight forward questions (homework level) often come up. Examples of the level of questions: 1/ What is the average speed of Oxygen2 molecules through...

People talk about chirality in 2 different ways and it is often unclear. 1/ From the wiki neutrino page: "An experiment done in 1956 by C. S. Wu at Columbia University showed that neutrinos always have left-handed chirality." I think when they go on to say the neutrinos chirality matches its...

I am not sure I agree, certainly the photons has that property, but also the neutrino, that does appear to have mass. From wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chirality_(physics) With the discovery of neutrino oscillation, which implies that neutrinos have mass, the only observed massless...

What is the best way to explain "the chirality matches the helicity"? Why not include a visual?

In trying to understand the Neutrino where it has mass and its chirality is the same as its helicity, I have always had trouble visualizing a particle. I recently ran into this particle. I believe the "the chirality is the same as helicity" as in one direction it would feed things through the...
