If the entangled pair is measured precisely at the same time, both parties get the same value instantly. However this fact itself does not allow for actual communication/information passing. For that there needs to be a way to actually control the state. Or something like that Lol
- dfasdf1231 5y agoLets say I'm in NY, now I go to ask to join a cooking course, they say me: "we will let you know if you're accepted or not". Then I take a plane to the other side of the planet, Japan. We have some pending information, a link between the cooking course acceptation and me. The link will keep existing even if I take a trip to Mars. Then I got accepted in the cooking course, the information about the acceptance changes instantaneously in the whole universe, including in my head (currently in Japan, thousands of miles away from the place when the cooking course decision to accept me occurs). Is this quantum entanglement somehow? It seems to check all the boxes, including that the information changes instantaneously in both sides (I got accepted! even if now I'm in Japan), but I wouldn't know about it till they send me the news using a standard non-quantum channel. FTL comms aren't possible at all here, etc. Then I ask, entanglement occurs continously at levels in universe, when two entities somehow get to share a question, a pending information? Of course I think I'm missing something (a degree or PhD in physics for starters), that's why I'm asking. Thanks in advance.
