isn't it possible that the resulting observed spin was actually already determined at the point the photons were entangled, and NOT at the point of observation? Given a binary result, there would be no way to determine whether it was in fact the observation affecting the other photon, or whether the fact of the spins being opposite was already determined at the moment of entanglement. When I read this, and digested it as best I could at the time, it made me think.

So since the two entangled photons' spin were always opposites whenever observations were made, it was taken for granted that the observation of one photon was what was affecting the outcome of the other. and quantum entanglement was taken as a fact, when it was verified that the result of testing of the spin of one entangled photon always yielded the opposite spin in the other photon. When I initially read about quantum entanglement, I heard of the experiment where there was basically a binary outcome - essentially, the result of the test would either be a 1 or a 0. I'm surprised I haven't heard more, in this forum, regarding quantum entanglement.ĭo we have any resident experts here on the subject, who would care to elucidate?
