And Many Worlds explains how in the world this strange but true fact can possibly be true by saying the unmeasured photon is NOT in one and only one polarization angle but in every conceivable angle, and there is a polarizer for every conceivable rotational setting, and there are 2 Alan Graysons for every polarizer, one Alan Grayson observes the photon passing through the polarizer and the other Alan Grayson observes the photon being absorbed by the polarizer. This is because the photon, the polarizer and Alan Grayson must all obey the laws of quantum mechanics. * *I believe the reason Many Worlds is not as universally accepted as Kepler's laws of planetary motion has nothing to do with physics, it has to do with human psychology. * *John K Clark See what's on my new list at Extropolis <https://groups.google.com/g/extropolis>* ndp > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
