Nope, not information. "Spooky action at a distance" is as old as Einstein, but it didn't chuck the information-theory aspect of physics into the rubbish then, and it doesn't now. The problem is you can't put any information into that system, or get any out. Yes, two random things happen simultaneously at a distance. Interesting, but it won't get you there FTL.

They were able to send one bit of information. That is sending information FTL. If you had hundreds of millions of these interferometers set up, you could send hundreds of millions of bits. It would be outrageously expensive, but so were computers a few decades ago.

Is there any evidence of some kind of alien FTL backplane? No, not really. Is there any evidence of the next step of transporting physical stuff? No, not at all.

I still say that precisely what you're going on about is what this experiment succeeded at and was reported out in the last 6 months. Wish I had the link or at least a keyword to search. Was in a thread here on FR.
