Looking forward to the ELI5 version of this. It sounds interesting but I have no idea what they're saying.

- kinghtown 5y agothat’s because it’s undetectable. no one knows what they are saying.
- pugworthy 5y agoI believe the parent meant he doesn't know what the paper is saying, not what the aliens might be saying.

- duncan-donuts 5y agoYeah, exactly. This is way over my head.
- kinghtown 5y agoit’s over my head too. apparently the signal is in outer space.
- yourenotsmart 5y agoIt seems like a wild and possibly inaccurate speculation on the use of quantum effects for communication. Before we start speculating how aliens communicate, we need to have some idea how WE can communicate via the same means, even in a most crude way (like sending one bit of information few feet away). Otherwise saying "well aliens maybe know more so maybe they can do it" could be used to submit a paper about just anything at all we fancy. Say time machines. So far, measuring the properties of entangled particles has not been demonstrated as capable of transferring information faster than light. You can only do the math and conclude what happened when you have BOTH RESULTS. And to have both results, you need to communicate them via traditional means, like giving the other team a phone call, or, you know, walking there and asking them.
