That is the rub. One has to entangle the particles, separate them, at less than the speed of light, and then, once separated, start measuring properties. The last part could communicate information at greater than the speed of light. This process might allow a space ship, traveling a less than the speed of light, communicate instantaneously with home as it traveled.

Thanks, that helps partially. I still fail to see what causes particles to interact with one another after being separated great distances.

I'm betting against it. Non-locality may be a fact, but taming it for communications is another ballgame. I bet you run up against the wall of indeterminancy. The particles may be intangled, but the process of measuring their state will smother the signal in noise.

just my guess.
