Did you mention the EPR Paradox? I can't remember where I was reading about that. Anyway, Slate has a particularly gay article about this. I looked around for more information, and I found this article (it was actually the first link on Google). My question: is this the end of the paradox? Has this paper been proven to be inaccurate in some way? I'm not a physicist, so the article was difficult for me to comprehend. My understanding is that since you can never be sure how many photons were created, stuff like conservation of spin don't really tell you much. For example, if there are two particles, conservation of spin means that they have to have opposite spins. But if you have five photons, then they can add up to zero spin in an infinite number of ways. I'm undoubtedly incorrect, since I seem to recall that quantum spin is not spin on a ball.
Anyway, it's interesting and I was wondering if you could comment on it. |
