[ExI] Demonstration of Bell's Inequality

[Stuart LaForge]

This is for all the math averse Extropes so they can get their mind blown
by quantum entanglement too. :-)

Grab some random coins from your pocket or purse and put them down. The
fewer, the easier to count.

Step 1. Sort through them and place those coins that are either dated from
the last century or don't have an animal depicted somewhere on the back of
them into your left hand.

Now count the coins in your left hand and write the result down as total A
and return those coins to pile on the table.

Step 2. Sort through the coins and put those coins that either have an
animal depicted on the back or are not silver-colored into your left hand.

Now count the coins in your left hand and write the total down as B.

Step 3. Now add A and B together.

I can guarantee you that your total from step 3 will be greater or equal
to the number of coins you have that are either dated from last century or
not silver-colored. Because . . . well math!

It doesn't matter how many coins you use or how many times you do this
experiment because well . . . math!

But this trick does not work with entangled quantum particles. It would be
as if your coins were changing identity between Step 1 and Step 2.

Is your mind blown yet?

Here is a simple math explanation of Bell's Inequality:
