Um, I said if you square the one over root two, you get fifty percent.
So you get fifty percent predictions fifty percent.
this and fifty percent that.
And you might say, but what why why that minus sign?
I mean, that the same would be true if you put a plus sign there, right?
I mean
Is that minus sign doing some work for you?
Why did you decide that?
The answer is yes, it is doing some work.
If I put a plus sign instead of a minus sign, I would get a different state called the m equals zero triplet state, has different characteristics.
Not for X spin.
Does not have different characteristics for that experiment, but for other experiments, it has different characteristics.
And the one we want is the singlet state with the minus sign.
Why? 'Cause it has a symmetry.
And the the symmetry, I mean w well when w I I can go even further.
F to run the EPR argument.
All we needed to know is that for sure they'll get opposite results.
It didn't really matter that half the time it's this and half the time it's this.
It could be that, you know, 25% of the time it's this and three quarters of the time it's that.
As long as they're always opposite, that's all I need to to run the argument.
