A Look at Quantum "Spookiness"

A Look at Quantum "Spookiness"

The results of quantum theory were described as "spooky" by
Drs. Einstein, Podalsky, and Rosen because quantum theory seemed to reject
"objective reality". They believed that all observed effects must be
produced by
"local" causality. Their conclusion resulted from their firm belief that
information could not travel faster than the velocity of light. Indeed, if
this
were the case, quantum theory would indeed be "spooky". Quantum theory
required,
for example, that "paired photons" maintain polarizations which were
opposite in
direction . If the polarization angle of one of the "paired photons" were
changed, the polarization angle of the other photon of the pair must
instantaneously change to match. ("Paired photons" are produced by the self
annihilation of an artificial atom composed of an electron and a positron.
They
are polarized in opposite directions and are emitted in opposite directions.
Their polarization angle is, of course, random with respect to the external
world.)

Since the "paired photons" are emitted in opposite directions,
they rapidly become separated in space. The required instantaneous coupling
of
their polarization implies that information must travel at an infinite
velocity
and, since these personages were firmly committed to the idea that
information
could not be transmitted faster than the velocity of light, they had to
conclude
that the process was "spooky" and required the existence of "hidden
variables".
(These allegedly "hidden" variables are not necessarily hidden, one of them
for
example, is the polarization coupling of "paired photons".Since this
coupling
had been shown to propagate at an "impossible" infinite velocity, it was
necessary for orthodox physics to accept the idea of "spookiness". If the
effect
were accepted without the idea of "spookiness" it, the existence of an
absolute
velocity reference frame for space (i.e.- the Aether) would have to be
accepted.
Since this is currently dogmatically unacceptable, a problem remained.

An alternative explanation, proposed by the "Copenhagen
School" of physicists asserted that there was no objective reality, there
was
only the reality as seen by the observer. This interpretation led to
Schroedinger's Cat Paradox which asserted that a cat in a closed box that
would
be subject to cyanide poisoning if the decay of a radioactive atom was
detected
by instruments within the box. It was further asserted that, since the decay
of
the atom and thus the death of the cat, the creature was both dead and alive
until an external observer opened the box and looked. The reasoning behind
this
was the idea that an event does not occur until it is observed. This does
not
seem to be an objectionable idea, per se, but the observation that counts in
this Paradox is the decay of the radioactive atom, not the observation by an
external observer. The cat is not both alive and dead prior to his
observation,
it is one or the other, but not both. The fact that the observer does not
know
is meaningless. It is only attributed as having meaning as a result of
intellectual sloppiness. Schroedinger's Cat Paradox is not a paradox.

A different approach to resolving the "spookiness" of Quantum
theory is the idea of Parallel Universes. In this interpretation, each
particle
in the Universe creates an unobservable twin every time it makes a quantum
"decision" The result is that each particle creates an unobservable
"Parallel
Universe" at virtually every instant of time occurring since our Universe
began.
When one considers the number of particles in the Universe, the number of
ways
in which they can interact, and the number of instants of time since the
Universe began, the number of Universes which are required under this theory
is,
incredibly, at least 10^160. What is equally incredible is that each of
these
Universes contains the same amount of energy as our own and each of its
particles occupies the same space at the same time as do its brothers. This
interpretation seems to have a large number of believers of high reputation.
In
spite of this, the writer has no qualms about asserting that any physicist
who
would accept such a concept is in the wrong line of work. I understand that
Wal-Mart is hiring.

When one examines the concept that information cannot
propagate faster than the velocity of light one finds that it is based on
the
fact that information is almost always encoded in the form of energy. Since
the
Lorentz Transformation for energy is 1/(1-V^2/C^2>^0.% (the same as the
Lorentz Transformation for Length), it is obvious why information cannot
propagate faster than the velocity of light. At the velocity of light, the
Lorentz Transformation for Energy becomes infinite. The transformation
becomes
imaginary! Information encoded in the form of energy certainly cannot
propagate
faster that the velocity of light. When information is encoded in the form
of
the polarization angles of "paired photons", however, this limitation does
not
occur. Changing the polarization angle of a photon does not change its
energy.
As a result, no energy transfer is involved in changing their polarization
angles. If one extracts the Lorentz Transformation for Angle using the
conventional Lorentz Transformations, one find that this transformation is
unity
since angle is equal to a LENGTH along an arc divided by the LENGTH of the
radius of that arc. Accordingly, the Lorentz Transformation for Angle
becomes
((1-V^2/C^2)/(1-V^2/C^2))^0.5 or unity. One might conclude, therefore, that
the
relativistic processes do not impose a velocity limit on the propagation of
the
polarization angle of the "paired photons" and it is reasonable to expect
that
velocity to be infinite. "Spookiness" is not needed.

Physicists have also concluded that even if information could
be transmitted by the use of "paired photons", that information could not be
decoded singe the polarization angle of the "paired photons" emitted by
their
source was completely random. If this limitation could not be overcome, the
conclusion would indeed by true, but consider that would happen if a pair of
parallel axis polarizers were installed at opposite ends of the photon
source.
In this case the paired photons which were emitted would not be randomly
polarized but would be polarized in parallelism. Communicating over a
distance
at an infinite velocity would then be perfectly feasible. The most dangerous
part of this conclusion is that it would establish the existence of
"absolute
time" and the existence of the classical Aether and would demolish the
hare-brained concept of "space-time".
