No I'm just expecting that eventually someone will make use of it. Fuck it even if it's mores code.
already explained, its not possible, the updating of the state which is done instantly contains no information!
/e
take the following example: Alice is on Earth, Bob is on a space station 2 light hours away from Earth. Before Bob went to the space station, Alice and Bob created a pair of electrons with their spins entangled (total spin 0).
Alice and Bob are planning on scamming the other people who live on the space station by cheating at Superbowl betting.
When Alice sees the winning results of the Superbowl she will measure the spin of her election along an axis. She will measure along the y axis if the Cowboys win, and the x axis if the Packers win. This will instantly update the spin of Bob's electron along that axis. Bob will watch the Superbowl on the space station with his friends and when there is 90 minutes left in the game (from his perspective), Alice will have already made her measurement and Bob's election will have already been updated. Now Bob can safely make bets on the Superbowl outcome with his friends.
Ok so the big day comes, and Alice see Greenbay win. She runs to her electron and makes the measurement along the x axis, and she gets a result of 1.
Now its time for Bob to make his measurement, he measures the x axis of his electron and finds it has a result of 0. Now he knows with 100% certainty that either:
Greenbay won, Alice measured along x and found 1.
ORCowboys won, Alice measured along y and this randomly jumbled his electrons spin along the x axis, and he randomly got 0.
See the problem? Before playing this game with the electron, he knew either "Greenbay won" or "Cowboys won".... After playing this game with the electron he knows "Greenbay won" or "Dallas won". He hasn't learned anything about the game!
90 minutes later he see's Greenbay win on the TV along with everyone else on the space station, and now he knows "Greenbay won, Alice measured along x and found 1". The information took 2 hours to get to him, he got the information at the speed of light, just like everyone else.
