In order for there to be conservation of momentum, the original
photons momentum must be conserved. This means the downgraded photon
pair have opposite angular momentums. If you detected the spin of one
photon then the pair will always be detected with opposite spin.

Nothing is entangled. There is no delayed choice. Downgraded photon
pairs always have opposite angular momentums.

Matter and aether are different states of the same material.
Matter and aether have mass.
Aether is displaced by matter.
A moving particle has an associated aether displacement wave.

I already mentioned placing a detector at the exit to one of the slits
and firing a second particle across the front of the open slit. The
aether wave exiting the open slit will alter the direction the second
particle travels.

The following is an explanation of what occurs in nature in a 'delayed
choice quantum eraser' experiment. Following the explanation are two
experiments which will provide evidence of Aether Displacement.

In the image on the right here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_choice_quantum_eraser#The_experiment
When the downgraded photon pair are created, in order for there to be
conservation of momentum, the original photons momentum is maintained.
This means the downgraded photon pair have opposite angular momentums.
We will describe one of the photons as being the 'up' photon and the
other photon as being the 'down' photon. One of the downgraded photons
travels either the red or blue path towards D0 and the other photon
travels either the red or blue path towards the prism.

There are physical waves in the aether propagating both the red and
blue paths. The aether waves propagating towards D0 interact with the
lens and create interference prior to reaching D0. The aether waves
create interference which alters the direction the photon travels
prior to reaching D0. There are actually two interference patterns
being created at D0. One associated with the 'up' photons when they
arrive at D0 and the other interference pattern associated with the
'down' photons when they arrive at D0.

Both 'up' and 'down' photons are reflected by BSa and arrive at D3.
Since there is a single path towards D3 there is nothing for the wave
in the aether to interfere with and there is no interference pattern
and since it is not determined if it is an 'up' or 'down' photon being
detected at D3 there is no way to distinguish between the photons
arriving at D0 which interference pattern each photon belongs to. The
same for photons reflected by BSb and arrive at D4.

Photons which pass through BSa and are reflected by BSc and arrive at
D1 are either 'up' or 'down' photons but not both. If 'up' photons
arrive at D1 then 'down' photons arrive at D2. The opposite occurs for
photons which pass through BSb. Photons which pass through BSa and
pass through BSb and arrive at D1 are all either 'up' or 'down'
photons. If all 'up' photons arrive at D1 then all 'down' photons
arrive at D2. Since the physical waves in the aether traveling both
the red and blue paths are combined prior to D1 and D2 the aether
waves create interference which alters the direction the photon
travels. Since all 'up' photons arrive at one of the detectors and all
'down' photons arrive at the other an interference pattern is created
which reflects back to the interference both sets of photons are
creating at D0.

Figures 3 and 4 here:
http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/quant-ph/pdf/9903/9903047v1.pdf
Show the interference pattern of the 'up' and 'down' photons. If you
were to combine the two images and add the peaks together and add the
valleys together you would have the interference pattern of the
original photon. This is evidence the downgraded photon pair maintain
the original photons momentum and have opposite angular momentums.

Nothing is erased. There is no delayed choice. Physical waves in the
aether are traveling both the red and blue paths and when the paths
are combined the waves create interference which alters the direction
the photon 'particle' travels.

Experiments which will provide evidence of Aether Displacement:

Experiment #1:

Instead of having a single beam splitter BSc have two beam splitters
BSca and BScb. Have the photons reflected by mirror Ma interact with
BSca and have the photons reflected by mirror Mb interact with BScb.
Do not combine the red and blue paths. Have additional detectors D1a,
D2a, D1b, and D2b. Have the photons reflected by and propagate through
BSca be detected at D1a and D2a. Have the photons reflected by and
propagate through BScb be detected at D1b and D2b. If you compare the
photons detected at D1a and D1b with the photons detected at D0, the
corresponding photons detected at D0 will form an interference
pattern. If you compare the photons detected at D2a and D2b with the
photons detected at D0, the corresponding photons detected at D0 will
form an interference pattern. What is occurring is all 'up' photons
are being detected at one pair of detectors, for example D1a and D1b,
and all 'down' photons are being detected at the other pair of
detectors, for example D2a and D2b. Interference patterns do not even
need to be created in order to 'go back' and determine the
interference patterns created at D0.

Experiment #2:

Alter the experiment. When the downgraded photon pair are created,
have each photon interact with its own double slit apparatus. Have
detectors at one of the exits for each double slit apparatus. When a
photon is detected at one of the exits, in AD, the photon's aether
wave still exists and is propagating along the path exiting the other
slit. When a photon is not detected at one of the exits, the photon
'particle' along with its associated aether wave exits the other slit.
Combine the path the aether wave the detected photon is propagating
along with the path of the other photon and its associated aether
wave. An interference pattern will still be created. This shows the
aether wave of a detected photon still exists and is able to create
interference with the aether wave of another photon, altering the
direction the photon 'particle' travels.

I already mentioned placing a detector at the exit to one of the slits
and firing a second particle across the front of the open slit. The
aether wave exiting the open slit will alter the direction the second
particle travels.

The Copenhagen interpretation can not answer why the direction the
second particle travels is altered. In the Copenhagen interpretation
of QM all there is is the particle. Once the particle is detected
that's it. In the Copenhagen interpretation of QM once the particle is
detected, nothing exits the other slit.

There is no alternate universe nonsense required in pilot wave theory.
All that is required for pilot wave theory is an external field acting
on the particle. The external field acting on the particle is the
aether.

Incorrect. The moving particle has an associated aether wave. The
moving particle enters and exits a single slit in a double slit
experiment. The associated aether wave enters and exits multiple
slits. The aether wave exits the slits and creates interference which
alters the direction the particle travels. Detecting the particle
causes decoherence of the associated aether wave and there is no
interference.

There is a particle and a wave. For a photon and an electron, the
'particle' may consist of a very small region of the wave itself. For
a photon and an electron stating the moving particle is an aether wave
consisting of a very small region which is a wave may be correct.

For something as large as a C-60 molecule, the moving C-60 molecule
has an associated aether displacement wave.

Incorrect. The particle always enters and exits a single slit. The
associated aether wave always enters and exits multiple slits. The
associated aether wave creates interference upon exiting the slits
which alters the direction the particle travels. Detecting the
particle causes decoherence of the associated aether wave and there is
no interference.

Correct. Detecting the particle causes decoherence of the associated
aether wave (i.e. turns the wave into chop) and there is no
interference.

An experiment is performed in order to determine if the particle exits
a single slit or multiple slits in a double slit experiment. Every
time the experiment has ever been performed the particle has always
been detected exiting a single slit. This is experiment evidence the
particle always exits a single slit. In the absurd nonsense of the
Copenhagen interpretation of QM must you ignore experimental evidence.

Why is the particle always detected exiting a single slit in a double
slit experiment?

Because the particle always exits a single slit, duh!

It is the associated aether wave which exits multiple slits. The
associated aether wave creates interference which alters the direction
the particle travels. Detecting the particle causes decoherence of the
associated aether wave (i.e. turns the wave into chop) and there is no
interference.

how do you know? What measurement can you perform to show this? Are
they three different types of wave or three names for the same wave?

there is no interference pattern in this case. So the C60 doesn't
interfere with anything.

sorry I was just trying to clarify what you meant when you said "The
C-60 molecule is always detected exiting a single slit". You are
referring to a *particular* C60; you are not saying all the C60s go
through the same slit. The experiment is usually arranged so roughly
equal numbers go through each slit.

depends on the experimental setup and the interpreation of QM you want
to go with.

but why C60? Why is this any more of a problem than for a photon or an
electron?

We don't really know what the C-60 does in this case. We have no
measurement as to what travelled through the slit.

This is cool:- www.flownet.com/ron/QM.pdf

I thought initially de Broglie thought it was only a mathematical
abstraction and not a description of real physics. I've always kind of
liked the pilot wave. Copenhagen (particualrly in its more loony
forms) has always bothered me.

no it bloody isn't. You have no evidence that the particle went
through only one slit in the case where you have interference.

Somebody thinks they're smart because they know quantum mechanics?
