    That’s not the part you were trying to say couldn’t be done. ;) You were trying to argue that quantum entanglement couldn’t be used to communicate, clearly it can.

    The FTL bit is the science fiction premise of the thread. ;)

      That is indeed that bit I was saying couldn’t be done. Entanglement alone can’t be used to communicate; a signal has to be sent conventionally over the distance.

      The FTL bit is physically impossible, so it’s not really “achievable in a reasonable time-frame”
