Your Explanation Not Consistent With Quantum Mechanics

Thinking that the spin or polarization is carried by the photon contradicts quantum mechanics which says that such propeties of particles are not determined until measured, and then they are random. If your explanation were true, nobody would ever bother to do such an experiment. Besides your explanation predicts that sometimes the states are not opposite. That has never been seen in these experiments.

I too learn from these discussions. My last post in the Big Bang forum is such an example.

Also frame dragging has been verified for the Earth See:
