🔬Bell's theorem confirms violations of Bell inequalities, supporting quantum theory
How do polarizing filters work?
—Polarizing filters selectively allow or block light based on its polarization, allowing only waves oscillating in a certain direction to pass through.
What is quantum entanglement?
—Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon where two particles become correlated to the point that their properties are interdependent, regardless of the distance between them.
What is Bell's theorem?
—Bell's theorem is a mathematical proof that demonstrates the inconsistencies between quantum mechanics and the local realism assumption.
What is the significance of violating Bell inequalities?
—Violations of Bell inequalities provide evidence against the existence of hidden variables determining the outcomes of quantum measurements.
How does the behavior of polarized sunglasses challenge our understanding of the universe?
—By observing the behavior of photons passing through polarizing filters, we are forced to question fundamental assumptions about causality, realism, and the speed of light.
