Hi everyone! Sorry for the bad english.
I'm a psychologist from Brazil, so I don't know much of physics nor English.
I'm having a hard time understanding his setting.
In a very simple way, he made two entangled photons, each went to a polarization analyzer, that was set to random positions. Then it showed if each photon passed or no through the analyzer.
Is it correct?
If so, the expected by classical physics would be that 75% of the time at least one photon would pass, quantum mechanics predicted that 85% of the time at least one would pass.
So, the experiment gave the number 85%. Therefore quantum mechanics is right?
Thanks
