Episode: Threshold Model of Light - Eric Reiter, Experimental Physicist
Description: 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.
