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". 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). <br /><br />This is what i remember from what i read years ago, please correct me if i'm wrong.<br /><br />5:11 AM, August 5, 2016, juan &lt;juan.g71@gmail.com&gt;:<br /><blockquote>On Fri, 5 Aug 2016 11:29:07 +1000<br />Zenaan Harkness &lt;zen@freedbms.net&gt; wrote:<br /><br /><br /><blockquote> On Thu, Aug 04, 2016 at 09:58:11PM +0000, jim bell wrote:<br /> &gt; From: juan &lt;juan.g71@gmail.com&gt;<br /> &gt; On Thu, 4 Aug 2016 16:49:12 +0000 (UTC)<br /> &gt; jim bell &lt;jdb10987@yahoo.com&gt; wrote:<br /><br /> &gt;   &gt;  If 'something' is moving at faster than light speed, then some<br /> &gt;   &gt; information must be being transmitted.
