Entangled atomic particles that can "communicate" with each other - instantaneously - across great distances

Also, it's been tested that entangled particles can "communicate" across time, billions of years into the past and future. In theory, time and space must be created emergent illusions. In practice, they are real.

“Entangled atomic particles that can “communicate” with each other - instantaneously - across great distances.”

As per Wikipedia however (see below), it is now well understood that quantum entanglement does not allow any influence or information to propagate superluminally [faster than light].

What can occur is that if you measure the quantum state of one particle of an entangled pair, it tells you what the corresponding quantum state of the other particle is. This does not mean you *caused* anything to happen to the other particle — just that it already was in that state.

Cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superluminal_communication#Quantum_nonlocality
