The article says the photons are “entangled” which means they are connected in some fashion.
The best analogy I can some up with is to imagine a 2 x 4 of infinite length. (we’ll ignore mass and rigidity in this example) If you move the 2 x 4, at any point along the length, it will communicate motion almost instantaneously. However, it won’t violate the laws governing the speed of light, even though a million miles away, it will be moving at the same time as the other end. Obviously, in this instance, distance matters. Two feet away won’t gain you anything. 200,000,000,000 feet away, though.....
Your thoughts?
The problem is I don’t think you can ignore rigidity. That’s too much of a simplification and undermines the analogy.
Didn’t someone write about this many moons ago? Something like a non-compressable fluid in a long tube as a circuit, or something? Fell apart with insufficiently rigid tube. Plus, any distance reasonable with current materials much cheaper w/radio, light, etc.
I swear, there’s a fallacy here, but I’m too sleepy, or dopy or one of them dwarves...
