Like wars erupting over FTL rather than sharing it, because the country or a corporation who would be the first to have such technology stands to have the potential to colonize distant planets.

    Quantum entanglement is real. Instantaneous transmission of spin states between entangled particles. So information propagating faster than light. We can detect gravity waves. The things science has yet to discover might actually be infinite. Will we ever be able to move a human being, intact, faster than light? If science advances enough, will we even need to?

      While non locality is weird, it can’t actually be used to transmit information. Any attempt to force an entangled particle into another state breaks the entanglement. So you can’t really transmit any information between the two.
