The basic setup prevents an exchange of information because a key/reference would need to be transmitted also, and that would be limited to light speed. You can 'receive' a 1 or a 0 (a particle spin of one way or the other), but you can't know what that means or what's happening at the other end. And you can't control it in advance and say 'if it's 1, invade; if it's 0, send cakes' because you don't know what the spin at the sending end is until you look at it. So you'd look at a particle, it's spinning clockwise, and you'd be, like, "cool, cool." There's a lot more nuance to it than that; this is a terrible explanation. Hopefully one of the actual physicists can explain better (or correct me).</blockquote>
