Thus a single photon is an electromagnetic wave carrying one quantum of energy. Since it is a wave, it has a frequency;

Here's where the "explanation "lost" me.
The discussion went from "behaves like a wave" to it is a wave. Not buying it. If it can be both, there needs to me an explanation for that; analogous or otherwise...

How do the photons arriving at detector B know that the polarizations have been "erased" at detector A?

What's even weirder is that if you put detector A far away such that the photon arrives at B first, you still get the interference pattern. How do the photons arriving at detector B know that the polarizations eventually will be "erased" at detector A?

Seems to me a prime candidate for the Science ping list!

Oh. I thought perhaps it was a thread about a beautiful physicist/beach babe...

Seems like I got the web address wrong:
