    Photon entanglement and fair sampling assumption

    Can I intervene - the question is a good one, but the debate between you two is lost in the stratosphere. To my mind "photon entanglement" should be viewed as correlated waves. Wikipedia has a mention of 'fair sampling' under http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell%27s_inequalities, saying it...

    Do Photons Experience Relativity Effects?

    This is surely a case where representing a pulse of light as a particle (or particles) is misleading. As when Isaac Newton described light as pulses or corpuscles from his prism experiment splitting light into colours. And got into problems over how many different coloured corpuscles exist.

    John Wheeler's Legacy: Einstein v. Wheeler's Black Holes

    Einstein v. Wheeler's Black Holes John Wheeler who died earlier this month (13 April) not only coined the term 'black hole', but is of course closely identified with the very concept of a gravitationally collapsed object. So he surely carries much of the blame for the basic deviation...

    Can John Cramer's Experiment Really Demonstrate Retrocausality?

    Cramer builds on absurdity Yes, Cramer’s proposed set-up adds a time-delay to Zeilinger’s two-crystal experiment, to allow the observer at a km-distant detector to choose how to observe the photon within the 3 microseconds between a nearby measurement on the conjugate photon and his own...
