Graduate Flaw in Greene's Bell test illustration from The fabric of the cosmos
I will think about a way to integrate this suggestion into the simulation. Off course I could simply enforce a 25% agreement if different doors are opened but it seems to easy, like cheating almost. The measures should speak for themselves. Maybe this is time for me to understand the real...- purpledog

Graduate Flaw in Greene's Bell test illustration from The fabric of the cosmos
If you are suggesting that a casual reader should naturally interpret "randomly" as being "25%", then it comforts me in thinking that this illustration is flawed. Note that I would not mind so much if the author didn't add: I can imagine how an experienced quantum physicist might get the...- purpledog

Graduate Flaw in Greene's Bell test illustration from The fabric of the cosmos
What's missing then ? I am sure there is a way to turn this experiment into something meaningful but I cannot work it out... Any suggestion which would help me going one step further ?- purpledog

Graduate Flaw in Greene's Bell test illustration from The fabric of the cosmos
There are two simulations in the code given. The first one is indeed predetermined, the second one is not (and is suppose to mimic a quantic behavior). Could you relate those scientific facts to the illustration given ? In other words, what need to be changed in the simulation so that it gives...- purpledog

Graduate Flaw in Greene's Bell test illustration from The fabric of the cosmos
Here is a summary of the experiment described in the book. Mulder and Scully are on vacation in separate places. Both receive a mysterious package containing hundreds of "small titanium cubes". The cubes can be opened three ways: top/right/front. Inside the cube is a sphere which glows red or...- purpledog

Graduate Flaw in Greene's Bell test illustration from The fabric of the cosmos
Brian Greene describe an experiment in his book "The fabric of the cosmos" pretending to illustrate the Bell test experiment. I spent hours trying to understand it until I decided to write a small simulation to finally realize that the experiment is completely flawed ! After doing some...- purpledog

Graduate On the single/two-slit diffraction problem and superposition.
I did a bit of research online and could not find any experiments dealing with "single slit" and "one photon at a time". Also, if this is the case that this setup would lead to individual photons building up the diffraction pattern, why "everybody" talks about the two slits experiment as an...- purpledog
