This sounds nice hypothesis. This hypothesis would imply that it is
possible transmit information via teleportation faster than light.
Therefore it will falsify special theory of relativity.
It would be interesting, if this finding is confirmed soon, to see how
we can fit on theoretical basis seemingly inconsistent facts together.
Namely how we can explain all the time dilation related observations,
if we allow instant information transfer via quantum teleportation?
Because this would mean that space traveler Alice would be able to
observe her time slowing down in real time in respect to her brother
Bob who was left at home.
Most sad thing this is for entertainment, because lots of movies will
lose their theoretical consistency. I just watched the movie Thor and
it also utilized Einstein-Rosen bridge, and now this movie's plot
generator just collapsed.
