Space/Science » in reply to "Mind-boggling" speed of quantum entanglement is measured for the first time

Spooky action at a distance

So that's an average delay of about 2.32 x 10^-16 s, and it is independent of the actual separation of the two entangled particles. So its not exactly an actual speed since the distance between the two particles is irrelevant.

If this result is confirmed, it suggests FTL travel and/or communication would be instantaneous, regardless of the distance involved. Well, maybe not instantaneous, but limited to 2.32 x 10^-16 s.

Newton and Einstein must be spinning in their graves.
