Graybeard:

Your last post, which I recived by e-mail hasn't yet appeared on this thread but I will reply here in any case.

I haven’t yet studied or even investigated the existence of the postscript to which you referred in that post. I promise that I will.

As to your statement that “…the fact that 2 photons are ‘ejected’ by the excitement of a single ‘atom’…in opposite directions…. does NOT allow the EPR paradox to claim that its (EPR) explanation is correct. …”

I made what I believe to be a logical assumption that… if two particles are ejected simultaneously from the same atom … those two particles will possess exactly equal and opposite characteristics of spin and momentum. If charge is involved the two particles will possess opposite charges.

I can’t prove or even immediately back up this assumption with quotes but it sure sounds logical to me. And if that assumption is correct…and, if my understanding of the method of creating entangled particles is correct, does that not make a case the good old boys, Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen?

If understanding of entanglement can rival sex I should drop everything right now and rush to the books. At 78 any help at all is more than welcome.

Thanks for your participation here. I’ve really enjoyed it!
