Bell tests explained by classical optics without quantum entanglement
A polarized photon interacts with a polarizer through the component of the photon’s electric field which is aligned with the polarizer. This component varies as the cosine of the angle through which the polarizer is rotated, explaining the cosine observed in Bell test data. Quantum
mechanics is unnecessary and plays no role.
