<div class="">This article resulted from an interview with the experiemnters and describes their interpretation without telling how, or even what, they did. Note also, the second sentence calls on von Neumann's Projection Hypothsis, an, per Karl Popper, inadmisible scientific principle. Noone can say what WAS, before looking. </div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">The whole story depends on wheather this experiment can be understood in classical optics terms, or not. Bell claims not, but it's easy, altthough tedious. Here's how: Get a precise description of the equipment. Write down the matrix form of the tranfer function for each optical element. Multiply them all togeter in the order in which the beam(s) encounters them. Graph the result as a function of whatever variable(s) wind(s) up being independant, i.e., adjustable by the experimentors. Then compare that curve(s) with the reported results (NOT the interpreted results!) </div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">The Delft team will be want to describe the results in the usual (nowadays) sexy-mystical quantum palaver. Don't take it. Get the results as recorded from the final detector(s). 99% of the time this will be a voltage or current as a function of angles. Expect resistance! They may not give specific info on the equipment (make and model); They may give the final data either as "reduced" (which can include tossing contrary elemets) or in some raw form for which a propritary algorithm is required, etc.) Then again, they may not. </div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">Now, add your own classical story; which, I bet, will fit flawlessly.</div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">BUT, WARNING: If you need to get funding or tenure, praise their brilliance and drop the matter! </div>
<div class=""> </div>
<div class="">I have been told that the link to my past papers is kaput. In fact, I just garbbeld it. Try: <a href="http://www.nonloco-physics.0catch.com/" class="">http://www.nonloco-physics.0catch.com/</a> A couple papers there apply just the tactic mentioned here to past experiments. The main difference with this Delft experiment is likely no more than the long optical path length, giving enought time so it can be argued that the detectors could not on their own collude to trick us into believing in superluminal trasnmission. Notice the schizophrenic aspect: the point of the experiment is to show the reality of superluminial interaction of some kind in the first place! How's that for consitent logic? But then, those who take seriously that detectors might collude like like politicians ....! </div>

<div class="">This entanglement experiment in Delft (Netherlands) was reported in Time magazine “What Einstein got wrong about the speed of light" on 22 October at <a href="http://time.com/4083823/einstein-entanglement-quantum/" target="_blank" class="">http://time.com/4083823/einstein-entanglement-quantum/</a> . Can anyone see any loopholes?</div>
