Moonraker Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Example: Photons are entangled, so when measuring polarization of one of the photons (yielding a random result) the other photon will show a perfectly correlated polarization, even if both measuring events happen at a timelike interval. However, for photons no time is passing, time and distances are shrinking to zero. For them, everything is happening simultaneously. I wonder if this may be considered as a local and realistic explanation of quantum teleportation (for photons).
swansont Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 But entanglement happens in our frame, which does not have time dilation, and it's also observed for massive particles.
Moonraker Posted January 30, 2014 Author Posted January 30, 2014 (edited) In our frame (and in any frame, because light does not have an inertial frame) light is moving at c. When two measuring events are happening at a time like interval we observe transmission of information at c (this maximum speed is confirmed by mainstream). But for the light all events are simultaneous, and there should be no more locality & realism issues. This explanation does not apply to experiments with other particles.
