The changing characteristics of one particle must be transmitted to the other. It does so instantly regardless of space between them. Meaning, it is FTL.

Actually, it does not mean that. Nothing is "transmitted". It's like putting two cups in front a fan and turning it on. Both are effected. Same thing here. You don't effect one, and have that effect transmitted. Both are effected at the same time. Nothing is being transmitted.

I have a vague rememberance of the show of which you speak.
The analogy of the tuning fork caught my attention.
If I am remembering correctly, the theory for the communications was based on generating gravity waves at a set frequency. It was assumed that only the more advanced cultures would recognise these waves and would be capable of responding to them.
The use of quantum entanglement had not, at that time, been widely put forward and would require the use of particles from a single source to be moved from one location to others in order to operate properly. This could take several years before implimentation and would almost defeat the idea of instant communications.edit on 3-1-2013 by seriousskeptic because: (no reason given)

I'm not entirely sure it's what you're thinking of, but quantum entanglement is the most promising concept for FTL communication at present.
Basically, in any two particles which have interacted physically and been separated in such a way that they're still connected, changing a property of one will have the opposite effect on the other.
So say I had an electron on earth which was paired with an electron on Zeeblebrox-40, and my electron had a clockwise spin and yours had an anti-clockwise spin, if I changed my spin, yours would change too!
It would be possible to transmit binary messages in this way using a large number of entangled pairs, instantaneously, over any distance.

It is theorized there are billions of gravitational modulated messages bombarding Earth from advanced civilizations. We want to eavesdrop and extract knowledge from the advanced ones. We want to take a bite out of the garden of Edens apple.edit on 4-1-2013 by tkwasny because: Typo fix

I get what you are saying, but for the sake of the argument, i chose to say "transmitted". I know its a crude expression but its better then Einstein's "Spooky action at a distance".
Something needs to happen so the other half of the particle moves or changes it's characteristics. Yes, it is instant, but we are nowhere near discovering how it is done. BUT it is done!

Well your argument is premised on a false idea, just so you can argue it. The change is instantaneous, thus negating the idea it proves FTL. There is no speed involved, nor time. You are correct, we aren't sure exactly what is going on. It in no way proves the possibility of FTL, and as of now it is deemed impossible to be used as a means of communication as it requires information to be passed on by traditional methods to use it as communication, in which case we will always be limited by however fast our traditional method is.

Andromerius, hey, good thread, maybe we are looking at the wrong tree, gravity, and split particles and so forth may be reasonable, FTL may be obtained from the time end of the problem, on a limb, but if light speed is the boundry, then time has to be the answer, I used to stand by the "linear" theory, not anymore, if light speed is 186k/mi/s, and you could manipulate the time within that light conduit...hey, we are all theorist.

I am just saying that for any action there is a reaction. In this case, changing caracteristics here will instantly change them there. There is a mechanism at play here that makes this happen, we don't know what it is, maybe it will be hundreds of years until we do, who knows, but it is there. Still, i'm way over my head with this one since i am no expert.

I bet to differ. This is what you said. Emphasis mine.

Clearly you did talk about FTL and you stated this is proof FTL is possible.

I doubt it will take very long at the rate science is progressing. I am on the edge of my seat though wondering what advances knowing will lead to!

I am sorry, but the post that began the exchange does not go away because you want it to,
Show me there is speed or time involved. Thanks.
For a long time we didn't really know what the speed of gravity was, and in a centuries-old idea it was thought that gravity might be instantaneous. But about a decade ago, we measured the speed of gravity for the first time, and it's not instantaneous, and the measurement supports Einstein's idea that gravity travels at the speed of light:

Taking advantage of a rare cosmic alignment, scientists have made the first measurement of the speed at which the force of gravity propagates, giving a numerical value to one of the last unmeasured fundamental constants of physics.
"Newton thought that gravity's force was instantaneous. Einstein assumed that it moved at the speed of light, but until now, no one had measured it," said Sergei Kopeikin, a physicist at the University of Missouri-Columbia.
"We have determined that gravity's propagation speed is equal to the speed of light within an accuracy of 20 percent," said Ed Fomalont, an astronomer at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) in Charlottesville, VA.
Regardless of any link that may or may not be posted, it's not true that the speed of gravity is instantaneous, and it's probably not any faster than the speed of light (The measurement says it travels at the speed of light give or take 20%).

Do you have a online link to how you have found this information?
Each individual post is a previous post, it is not necessary to refer to the plural if one is referring to only one previous post. So, you did refer to FTL in a previous post.
