Hum.... to be honest it smells like “Cold Fusion” all over again. I heard Linus Pauling speak on that Matter at Oregon State University. I wonder what he would say now? Most likely, to what decimal degree was the TIME measured to. Because 1) 3 feet is not real far apart, and 2) More than likely there IS a time lag, they were simply not capable of measuring. Get those crystals a MILE apart and then we will have some idea of the accuracy of their claim. Until they can do this over a distance, one great enough to actually measure the difference with currently existing measuring equipment. The closer one gets to the speed of light the more infinitely short the time period becomes, it may LOOK like 0, but it isn’t. Any more than they can calculate the EXACT value of Pi.
OK, I swear I did not see your post before I posted my #308. But as I ran across your post scrolling back, I then also had to check and find out exactly how screwed up I am (once I saw your score).
Well, thanks a lot, FRiend!

We'll see. If they can transfer information from one point to another faster than the speed of light then they have broken the speed of light barrier. If they can't (like with quantum entanglement), they are just dealing with the goofy principles of quantum mechanics and haven't broken the speed of light. People devise some crazy experiment where they think they have broken the speed of light every year. But when analyzed at the QM level, the group velocity of the wave packets involved never exceed c.
