This video is on Quantum entanglement, Bell’s inequality, EPR paradox, nonlocality, determinism vs nondeterminism and probability. Bohr and Einstein argued passionately about their views on the essence of reality. And for 30 years, both views were considered equally valid. Then in 1964, Irish physicist John Bell devised a way to prove whether Einstein’s view of a classical, deterministic view of reality was correct, and he put this in a simple elegant equation - called the Bell Inequality.
The weirdness of quantum mechanics can be demonstrated with a dice. If the dice was a quantum system, it would be in superposition. It would be a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 all at the same time. It’s value can only be known once it is measured. Einstein, was bothered by this interpretation of quantum mechanics. Einstein along with Boris Podolsky and Nathan Rosen came up with what they thought disproved the Copenhagen interpretation. The crux of their argument rested on the idea of a phenomenon in quantum mechanics called entanglement. EPR argued that since nothing can travel faster than light according to special relativity, this should invalidate the Copenhagen interpretation. This was the EPR paradox.
in 1964, John bell proposed an equation to determine who was right. In a universe where local hidden variables are true, when the two particles are emitted, they know what their state is going to be in all three directions, Z, X, and Q from birth. And there are only 8 possibilities of spins that each particle could have.
what is the probability that Alice measures in the z direction, gets a positive spin, and Bob measures in the X direction and gets a positive spin? Well, if the above case is for Alice, there are 4 events where Z is positive. In order for Bob to get X positive, Alice would have to have measured X as negative. So these would be in event 3 and event 4. To get the probability we have to divide by the total number of events, 8.
Let’s do this for two more scenarios. What is the probability that Alice measures positive in the Z direction, and Bob measures positive in the Q direction? In this scenario, it would be event 2 and event 4. Again we divide by 8 to get the probability.
And the third case is: What is the probability that Alice measures positive in the Q direction, and Bob measures positive in the X direction? This would be event 3 and event 7, divided by 8 for probability.
P: Z+, X+ = E3 + E4/8
P: Z+, Q+ = E2 + E4/8
P: Q+, X+ = E3 + E7/8
So these are the three probabilities given the hidden variables theory. Now here is big insight that John Bell had:
If I take the total number of Events, and multiply that by the probability that Alice measures Z positive and Bob measures X positive, this has to be less than or equal to the total number of events times the probability that Alice measures Z positive, and bob measures Q positive, plus the probability that Alice measures Q positive, and bob measures X positive.
P:Z+,X+ less than or equal to P:Z+,Q+ + P:Q+,X+
I can prove this is true by doing simple math:
E3 + E4 is less than or equal to E3 + E4 + E2 + E7
This makes total sense, because E3 and E4 are on both sides of the equation. And E2 and E7 have to be positive. So this inequality absolutely HAS to be true for any hidden variables theory to be true.
But what happens in a universe where the laws of quantum mechanics are correct, and not hidden variables theory?
And that probability of Bob measuring Q to be positive, after Alice has measured Z to be positive, is given by the following equation:
P: Z+,Q+ = sin^2 of 45 degrees/2
This is the critical difference between quantum mechanics and hidden variables theory. The probability is not linear but looks like sine wave. When you plot this out, this is what the probabilities look like: So you can see from the graph that at 0, and multiples of 90 degrees, the two systems are in agreement. But in between, like at 45 degrees, the probability is 25% for hidden variables, and about 14.6% for quantum mechanics.
#bellsinequality
#eprparadox
#bellstheorem
But the proof is in the pudding, because in test after test, the sine function correlation has been confirmed. The particle does not behave linearly, and so the hidden variables theory cannot be correct.
So most theorist do not think special relativity is violated, because we can’t communicate using this seemingly faster than light phenomenon.

It's very exciting! Thank you for producing your videos and adding perspective to this problem.

    @ Lydell Aaron Yep, THE HUMAN MIND tries to simplify things so it can run with it trying to convince other HUMAN MINDS in order to "conspire" again its CREATOR. The analogy to it would be a PC (HUMAN MIND) trying to outsmart a Quantum Computer (GOD - THE THING THAT CREATED THE HUMAN MIND FOR HIS PURPOSE) You need the PC and the QC - but it should be clear by now which one reigns supreme! Which one IS still without the other and which one cannot exist without the other!

    Here is what happens: regardless of what Alice measures, if Bob measures in the direction Q+, the result can only be Q+ or Q-. There is no intermediary state possible. It has to be aligned to the direction of measurement. But, depending on the measurement that Alice makes, it affects the probability of Bob registering one Q+ or Q-. Since Alice measured Z+, Bobs electron would want to be Z-. But since it can only be Q+/- and since Q+ is further apart from Z- than Q-, it has a much lower probability (only 15%) of happening, because it would have to "change" it's momentum a lot more than for Q-.

And that is paradoxical in that all science tries to do is to figure out what has been done behind our backs. So, in antiquity, electrons, protons and the like simply did not exist? Or they shouldn't have? Ah, when science dips its toes into philosophy...

    +[John Carter] This is sad news. Even more sad is that I am months too late to do anything about it. Because I am afraid that Arvin's conclusion is utterly wrong. Or.... at the very least utterly unfounded. He shouldn't feel _too_ bad, though, as Bell's Inequalities form what is pretty much the most misunderstood and misappropriated thing in all of Physics. You see, the so-called EPR Paradox consists of 2 parts. The central crux of the argument, and the "paradox". Contrary to popular belief _[and by "popular belief", I mean the beliefs of the adherents of Orthodox Quantum Mechanics, which is the modern form of the Copenhagen Interpretation]_ , the central crux was in no way disproven by Bell, nor by the experiments that prove his Inequalities were violated by Quantum Mechanics. The central crux of the EPR argument, of course, was that considering Entangled particles exist, the preservation of Locality *requires* Hidden Variables. There is *NOTHING* in Bell's Inequalities that disproves it. Nor could it disprove it, because that argument is pure logic, with no assumptions or any other form of wiggle room to get out of it. Now, what John Bell did prove was that there was no paradox. He did this by proving that even *_with_* Hidden Variables, Locality would *_still_* be violated. But neither result can make any sense without the other. Because Hidden Variables either exist, or they do not exist, EPR + Bell *TOGETHER* prove that Locality *must* be violated by Entangled Quantum particles. It also says precisely *nothing* about whether or not Hidden Variables exist. As a side note, Pilot Wave Theory, aka Bohmian Mechanics, which of all Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics makes the non-Locality the most explicit, was the favoured Interpretation of Bell himself for precisely that reason.

    Could be some fundamental law of physics we dont get, where there is a deeper reality that everything is localized at one point. Like the holographic universe idea or the info on the surface of a black hole. But instead of reality being 2d flat surface, its 1d. Or the entangled pair only look to be far apart, but really the space between them is folded in a way we cant tell and they are really right next to us like some type of worm hole when they fold a piece of paper, in all the science fiction movies to explain worm holes. Was wondering if there was a way to tell when someone on the other side of the universe has measured the entangled pair? Could something be used to detect that he has measured it? but only after the person on the other end has measured it? That way you can have multiple boxes with an entangled pair, that you do not measure, but the person on the other end, measures only certain boxes. then dependent on your end, the ones that he measured signal to you a certain combination, therefore communicating something. ?

Like you, I believe it possible that Bell's theorem describes a "local hidden wave-function" model, replacing the fixed variables with more complex behavior; it need not be random. Another possibility which could be considered is that the entangled pairs could be perpetually connected by some property that can't be detected within 3D spacetime.

    There's something wrong with the inequality assertion. Assuming hidden variables, it asserts that Bob measuring positive Q is 50/50 when Alice measures positive Z right? I'm sure that assertion is incorrect to begin with. Let's expand this a little and give each particle a normalized angular momentum vector [X,Z], they're hidden variables after all so let's give them real values. Now, someone tell me how to calculate Q from that vector. It's not just midway between X and Z is it? No.

    I was about to type a knee-jerk rebuttal to this when I thought about it. It's not quite as simple as a regular normal vector but essentially you're right. To get a 50% split, the 45 degree rotation Q would have to be taken from a linear ramp from X to Z, but this change is not linear, if it were it would violate the normalization. it's sinusoidal. That's easy to visualize, an X and Z value of both 1/root2 gives a Q of 1.0 NOT a Q of 1/root2 as would be the case for a linear change. In fact exactly the same rate of change is required as is used by QM, sin2(pi/8). This can't be right, someone would have spotted the error by now surely. It would mean that hidden variables actually has exactly the same result probability as QM.

    Every physicist does this even Einstein did this where he use the speed of causality to disprove the theory. Even though they are x away from each other where x > c they were orginaly together hence they could be linked and just as the expansion of space does not break causality this does not either as the information is the whole wave function (or whatever you want to call it). However if it was the case where there is no entanglement and it is an illusion than it would be that at the start the particles were given the state f(x) and -f(x). This way no matter when you measure (or when you don't they will always be opposite). What f(x) is not known as it currently stands but the proof in the video with it being a straight line was just placed out there using probability of the previous example which has no relation to this. In a deterministic model there will never be a probability just formulas to calculate values based on the inputs, so this was obviously not a valid proof to disprove determinism...

    Yes. Wave equations determine the probability a photon will be found - the probability density function. The electromagnetic spectrum includes both radio waves and light. The emission and collection of energy from dipole aerials is presumably understood. Can the energy quanta of photons be just the energy levels of the electrons in the atoms emitting and collecting them? I believe Schrodinger ended up thinking there may only be waves. The inequality seems to come from the assumption there is a particle somewhere.

    Great question! I did not get into this in detail, but here is the simple explanation. Since the result that Alice gets from measuring particle 1 is completely random, and the result that Bob gets, from his perspective, is also completely random. And since the two can not communicate each others' results to each other faster than light, no communication of information can happen faster than light. Also, the randomness of the results precludes one from somehow manipulating the result to communicate instantaneously to the other.

When we analyze a photon-higgs-graviton we can only calculate and interpret that they have mass and charge "0", but if they spin. It is the same paradox of information, since they are the same on different fractal scales. The paradox from inside to outside is supersymmetric to that from outside to inside.

    In order to communicate you must send organized (i.e. non-random) signals; since the collapse is random (i.e. not organized) it can’t be used to transmit any information. Just think if you tried to send a text message your friend telling her where to meet you. You decide to write the message by rolling 5 dice over and over, adding up the total value shown on the dice each time, and using the result of each roll to decide what letter to type next. How would you ever be able to get the information to your friend? *In case it isn’t clear, the letters of alphabet would be assigned a number 1-26, the numbers 27-30 could represent symbols like commas etc.
