minus-squareJamielinkfedilinkEnglish3•7 months agoThey’re probably referring to quantum entanglement, which affects the entangled particles instantly.
minus-squareEcho DotlinkfedilinkEnglish7•7 months agoYeah but you can’t interfere with quantum entangled particles, if you do you break the entanglement. So it isn’t usable as a method of communication.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish3•7 months agoSomething I’ve not been asked to get through my head about QE: If observing the entangled particle destroys the entanglement, doesn’t that mean we’d need “containers” of entangled particles to send a bunch of information?
