7-year-old Nastia came to Israel for cancer treatment. She and her family were killed by an Iranian missile in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 minutes ago

47.7% of Iranians view Israel negatively.

34.7% favorably.

All else undecided.

It's clear you're trolling and not even reading your own links.

Israel getting ATTACKED is popular in Iran, Israel is NOT.

Did you even watch that video?

How many Iranian kids did Israel kill? Will we even know?

This you?

I'm familiar with quantum entanglement. It doesn't work because you have no way of affecting which state you'll measure, and thus what state the other particle will be in.

That's exactly the part they DID get working.

The FTL is the sci-fi component that is the subject of the thread, the quantum entanglement communication part is the real world piece they actually got working.

That's not the part you were trying to say couldn't be done. ;) You were trying to argue that quantum entanglement couldn't be used to communicate, clearly it can.

The FTL bit is the science fiction premise of the thread. ;)

Read the link posted. They already did it. In 2007. At a distance of 144km.

The idea is this:

2 particles are quantum entangled. Whatever happens to one instantly happens to the other regardless of distance.

So you establish a state that means "0" and a state that means "1" and you can send binary.

At a minimum, you have quantum Morse code.

The number of arrests was likely to rise as law enforcement worked to remove the remaining protesters from the area, the newspaper said."

AP burying the lede here...

"third day of shooting". At an AID POINT.

Even if you're being gracious and assuming day 1 was all just a wacky misunderstanding (it wasn't), day 2 and 3 are war crimes.

"Things he can't actually do for $800?"

OTOH, lets say he could.

Taking a bunch of money from one elite college and distributing it to dozens (hundreds?) of working class schools all over the country?

I thought he hated socialism...
