Title: In one experiment, a photon entered one detector and that detector then indicate
Post by: einsteindude on Dec 3, 2014
In one experiment, a photon entered one detector and that detector then indicated the slit through which a second photon passed in a double-slit experiment that was some distance away from the first detector. This experiment shows that
A) microscopic events are subject to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle whenever detectors are involved.
B) macroscopic detectors always exert actual forces on microscopic particles, even at a distance.
C) it is possible for a detector to obtain complete information about a particle's simultaneous position and velocity, without causing a sudden change in the EM field.
D) whenever a detector exerts an actual force on a particle, it causes the particles EM field to suddenly change.
E) macroscopic detectors can have non-local effects even on objects that they do not directly interact with.
