Double-slit interference

The aether wave associated with photon s exits both slits and creates
interference which alters the direction the photon 'particle' travels
and an interference pattern will be detected at Ds.

Which-Way Marker

Both left and right circularly polarized photons are being detected at
Ds and as such there is no interference pattern. There are two
interference patterns being created at Ds. One associated with the
left circular polarized photons and one associated with the right
circular polarized photons. What the coincidence counts tally image
shows in the 'Which-Way Marker' section is the cumulative result.

Quantum Erasure

"A polarizer is placed in the p beam, oriented so that it will pass
light that is a combination of x and y."

The polarizer allows for a combination of x and y light waves to pass
through but the polarizer is only allowing certain photons to pass
through. The pair of the photons which pass through the polarizer will
have the same circular polarization upon exiting the quarter wave
plate. The pair of the photons which will have either left or right
circular polarization, but not both, upon exiting the quarter wave
plate will pass through the polarizer. Since only one set of circular
polarized photons are being tallied, an interference pattern is
detected at Ds.

Delayed Erasure

It doesn't matter if the photon interacts with the polarizer before or
after its pair interacts with the quarter wave plate. Only certain
photons pass through the polarizer and this correlates to either the
left or right circular polarized photons which exit the quarter wave
plate.

Nothing is erased. Nothing is delayed.

In effect you are asserting that L and R photons will create differing
interference patterns? I assume you can somehow elaborate how the aether
model supports this prediction? BTW - I'm pretty sure this kind of simple
experiment has been done already numerous times - with a null result.

In addition I just can't see how you can even in principle combine (add)
two interference patterns of the form shown to get the one without the
interference? Look specifically the heights and coordinates of the side-
branches - it seems there is no way you can combine two of these to get
the 'no-interference' distribution.

Sorry I can't quite understand what you are trying to say above. How
could a photon have both L and R polarization at the same time? I know
that you are saying that they are not - but why the need to state the
obvious?

AFAICT it seems that you are claiming that only either L or R s-photons
coincide with the passing p-photons. This seems quite a remarkable
statement. There is obviously quite hard symmetry in the experiment
regarding the x, y, L and R polarizations and the 45-polarizer. Why would
a 45-degree polarizer for p-photons synch only either with L or R
polarization of the s-photons? One should also consider the fact that the
interference pattern without the QWP:s seem identical to the one with
them installed (only half intensity of course). You indicated above that
L and R photons will result in differing patterns to each other - why
then the situation where only one is detected looks identical to the one
without the QWPs?

Anyways:
1) We know that the p-photon is linearly polarized in either x- or y-
direction.
2) We know that the s-photon is linearly polarized perpendicular to the p-
photon
3) We know that a 45-degree polarizer lets through half of both the x and
y s-photons
4) As far as anyone can tell the process in 3 is genuinely random
5) We know that the interference pattern at s-det appears/disappears when
the 45-polarizer in the p-photon path is inserted/removed.
6) It can be experimentally verified that both the R and L photons are
present in equal amounts in all the s-det measurements.
7) In addition to the questions I raised above about specifics of your
explanation - in general what you are insisting is an instance of a
'local hidden variable' explanation. Local hidden variables don't work as
can be verified by experiments violating Bell's inequality. Alas,
understanding this would require some mathematics.
8) And BTW where is the aether in your explanation? Remember that you
should use this experiment to show how the aether will be superior in
explaining these effects under discussion. You wouldn't like to give the
impression that you are pulling these explanations from thin air as you
go - right?

No need to discuss this before the previous issues are settled.

Correct.

Execute the experiment and test for it.

Post a link to the experiment or keep you baseless assumptions to
yourself.

That is exactly what is occurring in the experiment. What is being
displaced in the 'no-interference' distribution is the sum of the
'pings'.

Check out Figures 3 and 4 here:
http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/quant-ph/pdf/9903/9903047v1.pdf

The peak in Figure 3 corresponds with the troughs in Figure 4. If you
are just adding 'pings' then the peaks and troughs combine so there is
no interference pattern.

If you know there are two interference patterns being created and add
peaks together between Figures 3 and 4 and add troughs together then
you do get an interference pattern of the original photon. But this is
not what is occurring in the link you provided. That experiment is
just counting 'pings'. The 'pings' correspond to Figure 5 in the
article above.

Because the L or R polarized photon exiting the QWP corresponds with
the photon pair which passes through the polarizer.

For example, if a Left polarized photon exits the QWP then either all
associated photons either pass through the polarizer, or not.

It is only remarkable for those who choose to believe in absurd
nonsense of 'delayed choice' and 'quantum erasers'.

Why wouldn't it? This should be easily detected in the experiment.

Because it is half the intensity of the original interference pattern
without the QWPs. Again, see Figures 3 and 4 in the line above.

Which corresponds to a p-photon which passes through the polarizer, or
not.

Who's s-photon pair is either Left or Right polarized.

That must be due to ignorance.

Due to the p-photon corresponding to a left or right polarize photon
which allows for one of the two s-photon interference patterns to be
determined.

Even when the p-photon polarizer is inserted?

You fall back on Bell's inequality is a crutch. You said it yourself,
if there is a discrepancy between conservation of momentum and Bell's
inequality then you are siding with Bell's inequality. A statement
like that is absurd.

The only 'hidden variable' is the fact that the photons which pass
through the polarizer correspond to either the left or right circular
polarized photon pair.

The fact that you choose to believe in 'delayed choice' and 'quantum
erasers' when that is incorrect and I am correctly explaining what
occurs in the experiment you asked me to explain shows I am more
correct.

Really no need to continue this conversation at all as long as you put
more faith in Bell's inequality then you do conservation of momentum.

From: spudnik on
so, "Aether Displacement is a unified theory," deserving
of capitalization?... well, what this is really about,
is my net-addiction, because you would otherwise not
be so God-am "productive," without the goading
of my own predeliction.

so, let me quote from the LaRouche site's lead-article:
Max Planck began his series of lectures on thermodynamics in 1909 by
asserting that science is the systematic investigation of sense
perceptions. Our concepts of basic principles, like force, come from
those senses. The task of science "consists only in the relating of
sense perceptions, in accordance with experience, to fixed laws."
Those laws were, themselves, always brought closer and closer into
line with experience.

But, this description was only a trap for the unsuspecting, for Planck
then made an about-face, and asserted that, "ladies and gentlemen,
this view has never contributed to any advance in physics." Relating
the sense perceptions to one another with mathematics, and pulling
logical derivations out of those relations, can be quite interesting,
but this could never, in itself, derive a new discovery of principle.
The generation of new knowledge about the universe comes from a world
different from that of sense perception, but one which the human mind
has access to.
....
The concepts "material" and "energetic" are thus well defined.
Material is the stuff you can sense, and energetic is why you can
sense it. Energetic phenomena are generally continuous, while material
phenomena are generally discrete. Who would mistake the light emitted
from a light bulb, for the light bulb itself?

But, are these two concepts really so well defined?
