Wouldn't it be wild if they discovered human DNA, in every conceivable mutation, is quantum entangled with every atom in the universe?

Why is there a need to limit things to the speed of light?
Therefore, the speed of light is only a limiting factor that man has put on themselves, not a true limit as it is believed to be.
To think we have truly assessed the limits of reality with such an immature grasp on our own solar system, our own bodies ... is quite ridiculous.
Being able to accept the possibility of a great leap in understanding and technology is needed for us to advance.

Think about the implications of free energy. It would totally collaspe the world economy if introduced overnight, and the powers that be would not be making any money from it which is truly their biggest concern. It may be sometime untill free energy is introduced, and I assure you it won't be free.

Why do we need to hang on to burning gas? It is killing us.

Awesome Mike! Starred and flagged.
But a scary thought... What if we garnish the attention of some ET that would rather harm us then help us?

They know of our plight and our needs...ET I mean. You need not be afraid. They have your best interest in mind, and are waiting for you to ask for help.
At some point you will have to make a decision one way or the other.

This is one of the gems of the Big Bang theory, every atom is entangled, but their changes of state are communicated at c, otherwise cause and effect (C&E) would be simultaneous.
C&E and instantaneous events exist at the subatomic level of the atom, but cease beyond that range. Outside the subatomic and atomic level a classical communication channel is required.
For fun, lets say you are piloting a photon starship that uses antimatter for its propulsive power. It's too hard to manufacture on board, but you can take a small quantity with you. At 5000 light years out you run out of gas. So now you are waiting for the gravitational beam in the Aristarchus crater antimatter facility on the Moon to send information that will change the state of your remaining entangled matter into antimatter. Relative to Earth you had better be zipping a tiny fraction below light speed, because it will still take 5000 light years as seen by an observer on Earth to reach your ship. But to you a few days wait is nothing.
Oh yeah, and your QT account had better have good credit, hopefully you put a dollar in it before leaving so the interest can cover the charges for manufacture and transmission.

You've got me all wrong.

Next project, superluminal propulsion. The speed of light is just the refresh rate on the screen of our awareness anyway.
With insight into gravity we definitely will immediately will get an upgrade in our description of the universe. The scientific import will have us questioning many things of our established knowledge base. Cascade implications might solve a host of problems in science, and create a few more.
As far as practical impact for any discoveries, it will take years.

Of course, but who's doing the watching? I know of no way to prove it in a real world framework.
Both observers are collapsing the function simultaneously. Point is, even if it is instantaneous, for all practical purposes the information must travel at c, or the photon would be in both states at once.
Therefore QT is limited to c.
I can show you more later on...
