| Jun 25, 2016 at 6:12 | comment | added | CuriousOne | 1) quantum teleportation isn't FTL 2) There is a no-cloning theorem that forbids that quantum states can be copied 3) This is physics and not creative writing - we don't assume things around here that nature doesn't do. We merely observe and describe what nature actually does. | |

| Jun 25, 2016 at 3:10 | comment | added | Nick | I don't understand your question, one light year is a distance measurement. I might not have been as clear as I thought with my initial question. For the sake of making it easy, let's use 0 and 1 to create a morse code. We create 2 questions to which the computers can only answer 0 or 1. Each x time, we ask a question to the first computer to which we know the answers will be either "0" or "1", since the second computer knows when to observe the answer, it should be able to receive the 0 and the 1s ? Now, I'm not trying to say "this should work", I'm asking why wouldn't it. | |
| Jun 25, 2016 at 2:52 | comment | added | WillO | So if you and I, two light years apart, simulateneously observe an event that occurs halfway between us at time 0, so that our observations occur just one light year after the event, have we just "communicated" faster than light? | |
