   Though the results of the above-cited experiments are significant,   
   I still cannot consider photon entanglement to be possible.   
      
   As I wrote a number of times;   
   - Photon entanglement postulates two-photon state, whose quantum   
     wave, if actually present, is to swell at twice the speed of light,   
     and is to metamorphose instantaneously.   
   - No or, at most, negligible interaction is possible between photons.   
   - No restriction is imposed on superposition of quantum waves of   
     photons, which are bosons.   
      
   How can photon entanglement be possible without invisible hand of God?   
      
   Then, I come up with the following additional assumption.   
   (4) The transmission characteristics of a polarizer are significantly   
       dependent on the state of zero-point oscillations around it.   
      
   If the experimental settings are changed after a photon-pair emission,   
   when a photon reaches a polarizer, the state of zero-point oscillations   
   around it is different from that in case where the experimental   
   settings have been the same as those after the change since the   
   beginning. So, because of assumption (4), violation of Bell's   
   inequality can be considered to be possible without entanglement.   
      
   Though you may feel the above argument is so expedient, I consider it   
   to be far less inconceivable and less weird than the concept of photon   
   entanglement.   
      
   Thank you very much for bringing up a valuable point.
