Thanks for the good work Jason.
Hmm... I do have a critics, which is minor or major: I don't see any
difference between the beam and the attenuated beam on my screen.
In fact I would avoid color, or I would still use any trick so that
even on
a bad black and white screen we can clearly see the differences.
Some people
(like me) don't see well colors. I would have been born once year
later, and
I would never understood anything in math, as the "modern math"
reform has
been done in between and it promoted the use of color on the black
board,
and I would have unable to understand anything. Many people don't
see well
colors, and are usually even unaware of the fact. Colors are OK,
but it
helps the color blinded a lot, when the distinction is also clear and
symbolical.
I might come with more conceptual and/or pedagogical critics when I
have
more time.
Best,
Bruno

Telmo,
Thank you very much for that feedback; those are all good points
and I
will incorporate it into a new and improved version.
Do you think it would be clearer if instead of a block of wood I
used a
very small (but light absorbing object), like a dust mote, or a
single atom,
etc. (something that more intuitively could be moved by light?)
Perhaps I could built up with multiple levels, first the light
hits an
electron, which puts it into two states, and gives it two
momentums, then
the electron hits a phosphorescent screen, which puts it into
multiple
states of illumination, and then the person looking at the screeen
is
finally put into two states?
That would be nice I think.
One more remark, you seem to avoid formula, at all cost, including
"a(b+c)
= ab+ ac". Of course I am a mathematician, and formula help them.
I know
some non mathematicians (and publishers) run away from any
presence of
formula, but it seems some simple one sum up so well what happend
(cf one of
Albert explanation of the interferometer ..).
Anyway, noce work!,

Thanks Jason, nice work!
A few comments:
- It's not obvious what's going on when the block of wood turns
into
two. Even expecting the multiple outcomes, one does not intuitively
expect a beam of light to move a block of wood. I don't mind the
exaggeration but I suggest you make it explicit in the text and
indicate displacement in the figure somehow;
- Numbering figures would be a great improvement;
- You should sign your work!
Best,
Telmo.

All,
I've put together a primer on QM, as I think in the process of
explaining
something in simple terms can help improve one's understanding
of a
given
subject. I thought I would share it with this list in case it
might
help
anyone else. I also welcome any feedback anyone has to offer
regarding
it.
Jason
