Yeah, it was kinda stupid in this context; I meant to show that some actions are happening "immediately" even across huge distances and not that we need to wait for e.g. gravitational waves to move at the speed of light. Not that we can actually utilize this for conveying information immediately.
- carapace 9y agoI think you're onto something. Yes, quantum entanglement doesn't seem to allow for transmission of information in the conventional sense. However... Take a universe full of particles, many of which are entangled with each other. If you consider the entanglement as primary you can think of the entangled particles as single entities that have "extensions" into space-time that can be widely separated. I don't think it's at all clear that "living" processes cannot be carried out on this "substratum" of interspersed non-local entities. But I'm waaaay over my head here, so I'll stop waving my hands. :-)
