The CI version of what is happening in a Bell test would say that a photon has no polarization before it is measured, at which point its wave function collapses, which is due to the photon interacting with the detector. I'm suggesting that the photon has a polarization prior to being...

But isn't it possible that the variables were decided beforehand and changed by the measurement? The observer would THINK that the measurement decided the variable and that nothing had previously been decided, but the results should be identical if the variables weren't undecided, but were...

So I've been reading a lot about Bell tests. I have a question that I can't seem to find an answer to. The tests indicate that a photon decides to be horizontally or vertically polarized at the moment of detection. What are they basing this on? To make such a counter-intuitive assumption seems...

Various experiments of varying lengths have shown that distance has no effect on entanglement, and all entanglement experiments are done over space-like (superliminal) distances, so the particles would remain entangled no matter how fast they were going or how far apart they are. In fact...

I just came up with this idea, and wanted to run it by some people who know more than me. Are there any data that I can find that show I'm wrong about this? Particles only express one attribute at a time, but may have many different attributes, and which one is expressed depends on the nature...

Phinds, I'd just like to point out that Marcus, having not answered my question, responded to me re-asking it by insulting me. I didn't get a pissy attitude until I felt he was unjustly sniping at me. I also won't be posting much here, but that's only because I don't have many things to ask...

I should have explained my question more clearly, but I didn't realize that people still thought of Earth as being the center of the Universe. I didn't know the specific jargon, but I already realized that the Earth is moving away from everything else the same way it is moving away from us. I...

George and RUTA, thank you very much for your explanations. I understand now. Marcus, quit trying to get an apology from me. You never explained anything, just told me I was wrong because someone smarter than me already figured it out. You weren't helpful at all, so stop pretending you were...

Well, you know that deferring to research isn't a valid argument. I've looked through every article I've found and nothing can explain what I'm talking about, so if anyone on this forum can, then I'd be glad to accept it as someone who knows more than I do explaining the issue, but so far people...

v=HD is still based on Hubble's redhsift observations, which still has the same fundamental problem as Perlmutter's, in that we only know the velocity and distance of galaxies, and that galaxies at longer distances were, in the past, moving faster than closer galaxies in the more recent past...

I've been an amateur quantum physicists for most of my life, and ever since 1998 I've been wondering about this issue, but I figured someone would address it. Now they've given the Nobel to the guy and I still don't understand something. Perlmutter says that galaxies are accelerating away...
