[Noisebridge-discuss] [sudo-discuss] Live demo refuting quantum mechanics, invitation (fwd)

[Jake]

i've been to his lab and seen everything up-close.  I also saw it at maker 
faire in 2008 or so.

My favorite experiment is one where he has two sodium-iodide 
scintillators, each optically coupled to its own photomultiplier tube, and 
a radioactive source.

The objects are placed source, detector, detector, such that one detector 
(only the sodium iodide crystal, the rest is off to the side) is in 
between the other detector and the radioactive source.

He sets up window comparators on both detectors, so they only trigger on 
events which correspond to the energy of the radiation source, and sets up 
a time-comparison between the two detectors.  If detector A triggers 
within a certain time of detector B it is called a coincidence.

Coincidences are mapped on the x-scale of a chart, where x=0 is when the 
event from A and B are simultaneous.  If they are not simultaneous, the 
difference in time between the detections is where on X they land.  The 
vertical of the chart is a cumulative addup of how many times that has 
happened in that x position.

You would think that a gamma event could only be detected by one detector 
or the other, and be annihilated - and his chart would be white noise. 
But you can see very clearly that there is a lot of detection of the same 
event by the two detectors.

How is that possible?  come see for yourself and try to figure it out.
