Somehow each particle always seems to know what the other is doing. The problem with this feat is that it violates Einstein's long-held tenet that no communication can travel faster than the speed of light. Since traveling faster than the speed of light is tantamount to breaking the time barrier, this daunting prospect has caused some physicists to try to come up with elaborate ways to explain away Aspect's findings. But it has inspired others to offer even more radical explanations.

Einstein IS in trouble. The speed of light isn’t constant.

How the heck did you draw that conclusion from this article?

The fact that the speed of light is constant in space predates Einstein. Michelson and Morley determined this by experimentation in 1887.

"Einstein IS in trouble. The speed of light isn’t constant."

That's been my theory all along. 'C' is only relative in terms of MPS where a second's duration on Earth is not the same as a second's duration elsewhere in the universe. So I've asked before - how can we state without error that the stars are light-years away when time (expressed as a year) is not relevant to light beyond our own earthly concept of time and Earth's position in space?

It is in a vacuum and THAT is all that matters (so to speak).
