[QUOTE="Janx, post: 5893295, member: 8835"] [MENTION=177]Umbran[/MENTION] and other physics majors will probably have the answers for this. It's in line with some of [MENTION=31216]Bullgrit[/MENTION]'s line of science questions. As I understand it, Quantum Entanglement is an interesting state where 2 objects become entangled at the quantum level, such that what happens to one happens to the other. Presumably, the 2 objects are really halves of the same original object and "something" happened to them. Apparently, you can do some things to one half and detect it in the other half. His Dark Materials by Pullman uses a Quantum Resonator as a communications device. A pretty obvious idea once you hear about the concept. Take one half, induce vibrations in it, listen on the other half. Thanks to the other threads, we know that through the complex laws of science, that you can't go faster than the speed of light. Even if you are on a really fast rocket and you shoot a rocket from that rocket. If the reaction transfer of a pair of quantumly entangled objects is instantaneous (big IF), wouldn't that effectively transfer information faster than the speed of light if the two objects were far enough away? I imagine that one answer is that the 2 objects may appear to be far apart, but exist "very close" in quantum space due to the entanglement (it's the same object, how can it be far away from itself). What say the science guys? [/QUOTE]
