Hi, I’m the kind of guy I think this article was meant to target—I did not have an understanding of QM, but did start with enough base knowledge to follow the article without tripping over language or math in it.
I must say that I fried my brain trying to decipher what you’re trying to say. From one paragraph to the next, there’s a constant feeling a big hidden mental leap has been made. All of a sudden, one is left lost between notions that were introduced, but never explained.
For example. In Figure 3, from prior knowledge, I would suppose if you counted individual photons, they’d ALL end up in detectors 1 and 2 (none would be absorbed by obstacle) - this goes to explain what in fact happens when we think a particle “knows” where it’s going to end up. Please correct me if I’m wrong here.
It should also be equally possible to explain the logic behind the quantum eraser—my intuition tells me that for some reason the information that “evades” us would, given better understanding, simply be a configuration that was not possible, and it should be clear what the link between the hidden information and the way configurations work is.
