B Why isn’t quantum entanglement just correlation?

doesnt a dot pattern mean we have measured the position of the partcle? and if so, due to complimentarity wouldn't we not be able to measure or know the spin? how does the experiment still work if it appears we know the spin and we know the position as well?

Yes. The uncertainty principle is about the uncertainty in the states, not the uncertainty in the measurements. So even if you measure both sides of a complementary pair precisely, any state you can prepare will have at most one be precise.

dood that's exactly why i search for answers from first principles, not trust the guys on here who say "just trust us dummy". they get angry when i ignore the authority. and even give me a warning lol.

or guys who say "trust this function right here". needs a foundation.

That is a pretty big mischaracterization of what actually happened here. You were given a first principles answer by post 3. You nevertheless continued to repeatedly make a false assertion. Even then, you were given several well-reasoned explanations why your continued assertion was wrong.

Some participants then did begin to become impatient and snippy. But to assert that you are looking for first principles explanations and that you were instead told “just trust us dummy” is simply not what happened.

With that I think we will close this thread before it degenerates further. You are certainly welcome to post new threads as new questions come up.
