Photons don't exist, and the experimental results that got Clauser and Aspect a Nobel prize are a result of an incorrect interpretation of the data. So says experimental Physicist Eric Reiter, who has reproduced the famous experiments that show violations of Bell’s inequality and come out the other side with a much less spooky interpretation of quantum weirdness. According to Reiter’s Threshold Model, atoms are resonant structures that can absorb different amounts of energy based on their unknown baseline state, and entanglement is simply a misunderstanding of what is happening on the atomic level.

When not talking to brilliant people or making movies, she spends her time painting, reading, and guiding backcountry excursions. Michael Shilo also did his PhD at Columbia studying the elastic properties of molecular water. When he's not in the film studio, he's exploring sound in music. They are both freelance professors at various universities. - Blog: http://DemystifySci.com/blog - RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/2be66934/podcast/rss - Donate: https://bit.ly/3wkPqaD - Swag: https://bit.ly/2PXdC2y SOCIAL: - Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQub - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DemystifySci - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/DemystifySci/ - Twitter: https://twitter.com/DemystifySci MUSIC: -Shilo Delay: https://g.co/kgs/oty671
