    Posted By: AngusYou can't pass the photon from filter to filter if you detect it.
    This, I think, is the problem here. All 3 events are consecutive measurements of electron spins.

    I thought the 9/16 statistic interesting. I wonder if Carroll carries that fraction around in his head. I wonder if it's 33/64 for one more measurement (i.e. the general formula).

    ETA: 27/64 if I did it right, so the general form is (3/4)n

    Theorists calculate upper limit for possible quantization of time.

    I missed the link to a video. I'll go back.
    There do seem to be some other types of weirdness associated with electrons but its over my pay level. Most things are, now.

    Tangential philosophising is cheap, though. It's all I can afford these days.

    At least this makes sense. For the nth measurement, there are 4 possibilities, 3 of which are allowed by QM:
    - an orthogonal axis to the (n-1)th measurement's axis is used, so the result is indeterminate (2 possibilities of 4)
    - the same axis to the (n-1)th measurement's axis is used, so the result is determined to be the same as before (1 possibility of 4).

    It is the circumstances surrounding the disallowed case which I find so mysterious. The simple act of making an intermediate measurement on an orthogonal axis allows the once-disallowed result to now occur.
    e.g. disallowed: 0 1, but allowed: 0 + 1

    Posted By: alsetalokinIn other words, it's all fuel for the shitrocket.
    In one of Carroll's Other Many Worlds, the shitrocket is a reality in a society dominated by cruelty and a desire to travel. The galley slaves are the engine, and feed like Sumo wrestlers before the flight.

    Which reminds me; never answer the question "Do you like sex and travel?"

    Wasn't there a movie like that? Some train speeding through an ice-age snowworld....

    Snowpiercer. Great film. Lousy series.

    The first 11 minutes of this vid illustrate this effect

    Carroll's "explanation" really isn't.

    I think there is a demonstration using polarizing filters that illustrates this effect (or a similar one) with photons.
  15.  
    What's mysterious to me is that the superposition is restored.

    I did try to make that point.

    It's still mysterious to me that the superposition is restored.

    You guys might should be reminded of the fact that "Everything is quantum".
    That's why you are here, right?
