I will search for this thread Willie .... is it on this forum ??

Thus their spin orientation will always be read as a multiple of ˝. Further this would explain why, in the quantum world, this spin is read as being either clockwise or counterclockwise 50% of the time. |
I am not quite sure I am with you on the above. I have only one further thing to add.
Lets say my detector no longer exists .... As the two particles speed off on their opposite paths ...
Both of them have probabilities of Spin around all possible Axis. As one particle enters your detector it is forced to 'Ante up', declare its spin, de-cohere ....
At this exact moment .... without any detection at all ... my particle also 'antes up' and takes on the spin opposite to its partner. !!!
This is instantaneous ... and why some think it breaks Einstein's laws of relativity ... I myself do not think that.
It was a most enjoyable post Willie ... I intend to condense it into something more structured and easily read and put it in my blog ... so far in my blog I only quote others ... this will be my first explanation of my own
cheers mate .... see you around. ... greg
