I am intrigued by this comment. Can you elaborate a bit?

entanglement experiments may prove that experience is both timeless and spaceless

True. I suppose recently the real heros are the folks at FEMA. :)

But, you can’t have heros without a doom and gloom scenario to save us from!
Most of science (and modern, politicaly motivated…) fiction is based on this concept.

I create a pair of entangled photons. I send one to New York and one to Japan. Can I somehow keep them in suspension in each location and transmit information by altering the state of one and observing the other? If so, how? Instead of something so pedestrian, how about I put one on a Mars Rover and one at JPL control and so eliminate the complex system of directional antennas and time delays. Clearly, it isn’t simpole or possible to do so. I notice the article says the detection was ‘consistent with’ …

If it wasn’t before, it should now be obvious that the universe is a multiverse of all possibilities entangled with eachother. If you can entangle 100k photons, you can entangle any number of them.

photons are light

Can these photons be used to transfer information faster than light?

If so, I like to put a boat load of those photons in New York, London and Tokyo and then have stock prices here before the information arrives the normal way.

There are billions to make.

Yes, the focus tends to be on the bright opportunities we have in science and technology. Way better than the doom n’ gloom elsewhere!

It’s always a treat to log into KurzweilAI.net. This is a cool oasis in a hot parched desert! Thanks!

This article should properly be named, “Scientist creates single pair of entangled photons 50 thousand times.”

i cannot wait until the chinese hack through this like a piece of wet paper

How many photons in a 128 bit encryption key I wonder :D
