Are you referring to faster-than-SoL phenomenom? TY, AG q *> Two observers can't send information to each other because neither knows what will come up in a coin flip if the outcome is modeled quantum mechanically, that is irreducibly random , but each element of a pair of entangled particles can send information to its partner** [faster than light] * *Maybe. If somebody can prove that is true then we will know that Quantum Mechanics is non-local, and the violation of Bell's Inequality does not rule out non-local hidden variables, it only rules out local hidden variables. * My opinion, FWIW, is that we have a major flaw or insufficiency in our concept of space, noting that for photons, all distances shrink to zero.
