Quantum entanglement explained: two nodes on one wave
An entangled pair is one wave with two nodes. A node is made only when real matter meets the wave. By a node I mean a point of the wave fixed by its phase and made at a meeting, which is not the standard node of a standing wave. In the paper I set the theory beside measured facts, each with its number and source, and show which of its statements the facts match.
- S = 2√2 Vfrom two facts alone, the measured cosine and clicks that follow intensity. The four measured S imply effective contrasts 0.954, 0.965, 0.856, 0.838.
- 2.697, 2.73, 2.42, 2.37four Bell tests, 46.5, 36.5, 2.1, 4.1 quoted uncertainties above 2 and all below 2√2
- 716.8 ± 3.8°the neutron period, 0.84 quoted uncertainties from 720° (the return of a body tied at two points) and 93.9 from 360°
- Same numbersThe theory gives the numbers of standard physics and changes how they are read.
