    It's important to point out that when the polarizer is aligned at some "middle angle," then the light that comes out is NOT identical to the light that went in. Not only does only a fraction of the light come through, but that fraction now has polarization aligned with the POLARIZER, not aligned as it was going in. The polarizer "turns" the polarization angle so that the outgoing light is aligned with it. This raises the fascinating situation where you can put two polarizers at perpendicular angles together, and no light gets through. But if you then slip a third one in between the first two aligned at, say, 45 degrees, then suddenly some light does get through.

    There is a difference in the way of thinking of the inequality sign (or information bra-ket) when we see light as Einstein inertial system and when we see light as quantum entanglement information. Is a very effective inertial vector. In quantum information entanglement, since it is not an inertial system, it is considered as |photon:〈xψy〉:photon|, and it is an information system that should be distinguished from the inertial system, but (photon:ψ>)=(photon: :ψ〉), the optical inertial system and the optical information system are equivalent. This is an important lecture from the perspective of consideration.

    The notion of photons and their relationship to determinism invites intriguing questions about the fundamental nature of reality. Photons, as quanta of light, exhibit behaviors that can appear inherently probabilistic, particularly when analyzed through the lens of quantum mechanics. The famous double-slit experiment demonstrates that photons can behave as both particles and waves, exhibiting interference patterns that suggest an underlying randomness to their behavior. This challenges classical notions of determinism, which hold that future states of a system can be precisely predicted given complete knowledge of its initial conditions. Instead, the behavior of photons often embodies unpredictability, highlighting a universe where inherent uncertainty reigns, thereby prompting deeper philosophical inquiries into the fabric of reality and whether determinism can truly coexist with the principles governing quantum mechanics.

    • @schmetterling4477

    Even Bell himself didn’t think that he proved the impossibility of hidden variables. Travis Norsen: in his book (titled ‘Foundations of Quantum Mechanics’) says:
    “There is a kind of rich and tragic irony here, in citing Bell as having supposedly refuted hidden variables theories …, Bell’s theorem was actually inspired by Bohm’s 1952 pilot-wave theory papers, and indeed Bell remained far and away the pilot-wave theory’s greatest champion until his death in 1990.”

    Polarizers are not filters, they are re-radiators. Imagine two antennas connected by a coaxial cable. The interfaces between glass and air are the antennas and the glass is the coax. Light impinges the front face, just as an antenna. If the antenna's polarization matches, the light enters the glass, propagates and exits according to the polarization of the back face (antenna) of the glass. Using this correct model of a polarizer explains polarization completely and without mystery. Bell's Theorem is not required, only Maxwell's equations.

      Can you give me any reference (book or article) that supports your re-radiator model of polarization. Many thanks for your insight.

    The figure in this explanation would be better if shown in three dimensions. The professor’s explanation describes a plane wave oscillating in a plane parallel to the z-axis at an angle alpha to x--z plane. Then the closer the plane of the wave gets to the x-z plane, the greater the transmission of the wave through the polarizer.

    Doesn't Bell's inequality say that no LOCAL hidden variables can satisfy quantum physics meaning that NON-LOCAL hidden variables could satisfy it?

    So with respect to Linearity discussed in previous lectures, Beam of photon should be described as
    Beam |photon_alpha> = a * cos_alpha * |photonX> + a * sin_alpha |photonY>
    Where a is some constant

    Bell just showed that a HVT is non local and, if the formalism of spin is correct, that it is also contextual. Look at the interpretation of spin in the works of David Hestenes and other physicists, and contextuality desappares

      Very poorly presented. Newtonian "particles" are correctly called "corpuscles" in physics. The word "particle" is reserved for the approximation of the motion of an extended classical body by the motion of its center of mass. In the Kepler problem the planet is treaded in the particle approximation because we do not care about it rotation and internal degrees of freedom (in quantum mechanics we do care about spin). Quanta are amounts (not packets!) of energy, momentum, angular momentum and charge that get exchanged irreversibly between systems. They are system property changes. That is how you do this correctly. Easy, right? So why is a string theorist waffling with these trivial definitions? He should know them in his sleep.

      @@Nate3145-zt8rh Im studying physics at university right now. I just got in to the concept of quantum mechanics and the loss of determinism. What do you mean with the object is determined by something else outside the system, or intrinsic of the object? Quantum mechanics says that probability is inherent in nature and not just a limitation to calculate. This ofcourse has a huge philosophical impact, thats why i want to be sure i understand it right. So what exactly are you saying, how is determinism still a part of nature/reality, and can you give me a simple site or reference of what you are talking about? Thank you.
