One think I've been wondering about spooky action is if entanglement reactions are bound to the speed of light. As in, if one particle of the entangled pair is manipulated, is there a "signal" that is "transmitted" at some speed? Or is it "instant" in the sense that it transcends lightspeed? Or does this question even make sense in this context? Quantum stuff gets weird fast since we have very little basis in which t…
Here are some quotes from a piece on the experiment I mentioned above. from https://www.sciencenews.org/blog/context/entanglement-spooky...
> Einstein insisted that the handedness of the glove must be determined in advance by some physical law. He was perplexed by the possibility that Alice’s choice of hand could have something to do with whether Bob’s glove would fit his fingers.
> Suppose you prepared entangled photons and sent them to Alice and Bob in such a way that if Alice measured hers to be vertically polarized, she instantly knows that Bob’s will be horizontally polarized. . . .
> . . . The photon does not have an orientation until Alice detects it. Same for Bob’s. But once Alice makes a measurement, the outcome of Bob’s measurement is certain.
> Here’s where a lot of confusion clouds entanglement commentary. Contrary to what you might have read in a magazine with “New” and “Yorker” in the title, Alice’s measurement does not “instantaneously” influence Bob’s photon. No signal is sent, no influence transmitted. For all Alice knows, Bob might have measured his photon first. In fact, if the measurements are made at nearly the same time, there might be no objective way to say who made the first measurement. (A space traveler flying along at nearly the speed of light might see Bob’s measurement first, while another traveler flying in a different direction would see Alice’s first.)
