As i can remember, the point was when two particles are entangled, they bear the same quantum state, and they simultaneously shift their states önce either of them is "observed".
And if you 'observe' at the other side, you can determine that the first side was already observed. Apparently. Which is 1 bit (perhaps 1/2 a bit) of data transfer. If this is not the case, then the descriptions on this list so far are ambiguous to the point of not being interpretable... which would be unfortunate. I think someone's gonna have to try explaining again..
So you know that the other twin is in the same state, but you cannot code it at will, and since you don't know its first state without having "observed" it, you cannot determine whether the other twin has been observed or not (that would be 1 bit of data streaming). This is what i remember from what i read years ago, please correct me if i'm wrong.

That, also > is the amazing implications of entangled photons. It does sound like the obvious is being missed - so entangled photon paris can be created, and we can know at one end, if the photon at the other end is "read", and this apparently happens at at a minimum of 10k.c; Surely, one could simply create a suitably large number of entangled photon pairs, as an array, and then read them, or not read them, at the end you want to "send" information from, and "detect" (so this weird quantum mechanics story goes) those reads at the other end. Read + Not read = 1 bit. What seems to be implied in the stories so far is that the information must be transmitted through changing states of a single entangled photon - which assumption makes no sense at all. There's a purported phenomena, use it!
Yep. It either works or not. And if it works you should be able to get some 'macroscopic' result/data transmission (of course the micro/macro divide is just pseudo-scientific, absurd bullshit) I don't know if it works or not, though I notice that Cari posted a source claiming "Everyone agrees that quantum entanglement does not allow information to be transmitted faster that light. " I take that to mean that the authorities don't actually agree, although perhaps the majority says : no. Regardless, if there is something propagates at faster than light speed, then it should be possible to send information using that AND there would be nothing absurd about that, contrary to Jim B's abssurd defense of absurd, pseudo cientific 'interpretations'. http://www.dictionary.com/browse/absurd?s=t "utterly or obviously senseless, illogical, or untrue" It should be self-evident that absurdities have no place in science or even in philosophy.
