if you split and mirror as before but now move in two "beam splitters" and 4 detectors to determine if one is always reflected and one is always transmitted if the path lengths are kept the same.

Re: Phase wrong among other things

I'm glad we helped you find that answer ... :whew:

(and you wanted help???)

so what happens when you run my version (where they go through the same individual experiences but do not meet at the centered "beam splitter")?

Re: Phase wrong among other things

Don't you think it should be part of the first experiment? a control?

Re: Phase wrong among other things

Mine is defferent as it takes out the recombination possibility by cutting the pathe short -- take the original diagram and put the beam splitters at half the distance from the mirrors and move the detectors up accordingly. you end up with four possible end paths and four detectors to test them.

Re: Phase wrong among other things

that doesn't give the same control on the experiment. I want to see it they always go to the same side even if they do not have the {combination\interference} possibility.

Re: Phase wrong among other things

but it doesn't test to see that it happens anyway or that something else happens.
