TinyTree;
I did not say the condition did NOT EXIST, only the PROOF of its existence lie only when it is observed or measured. We do not disagree on this matter.

To solve your dilemma of polarization, you must stop treating light as a traveling photon. The photon only represents a quantitative measure of EM energy. Light is a physical wave and it does not pass through the polarizer, it conducts through the polarizer like a sound wave striking a membrane. The wave that strikes one side of the polarizer is not the wave that exits the polarizer.

You may wish to specify the type of polarizer's. (circular or linear)

Do you think that when you view the night sky that you are seeing an object or photon that left that star billions of years ago?

A physical entity of an EM wave is longitudinal, the proprieties of the wave is transverse and thus it is often said that EM is a transverse wave.

If you indeed wish to think outside the box, make the final leap of logic.
Do not accept all that you read as truth. Question all of it and understand the thinking of those who presented it.

You are off to an excellent start.
Thanks;
Dave
