The entire point of it, is that it can...
It's still entangled...
Everything about the two still has to be exactly the same, even adjusted for time dilation.
So if one is experiencing 10x the speed, 1 second of its "input" takes 10 seconds on the slow side to "output". The 1/10th speed replies and 1 second there is "output" as 10 seconds, just like it's relatively spinning 10x the speed as the reference particle.
Again, technically hypothetical because we can't build anything like that yet to actually see if it wouldnhappen. It's just one of those things where it just has to work out like that logically even though we can't see it.
I want to push back on this - quantum entanglement cannot be used to transmit information faster than the speed of light. The entanglement effect does allow for instantaneous correlations, but you can’t use those correlations to transmit information on their own.
For example, imagine Alice and Bob have a pair of entangled particles. The spins are anti-correlated, so if one is spin up the other is spin down. Alice measures the spin of her particle and sees its spin up. She now knows that Bob’s is spin down. She can learn this even if he is many light years away, without needing to communicate with him.
But what information was sent? If Alice or Bob wanted to communicate a simple “yes or no” to each other, how does knowing the spin of each others particles help?
What could happen is Alice and Bob could agree that spin up is yes, down is no. And Alice could measure her particles spin, then call Bob and say “my answer is the spin of your particle” to communicate “no”. This would be physically secure encryption of her answer which is a big advantage, but it is still communicated at classical speeds.
Actually methods of quantum cryptography are more complicated and involve measuring many entangled particles to prove that no one is intercepting the information.
Intuitively it seems like it should, but apparently that doesn't work.
Ah okay I see what you mean. So I guess, for one participant in the conversation would seem like they were talking very slowly, and the other would seem to be talking very fast. But they could still be in sync, they would just perceive the time differently
From the link:
I mean...
The alternative to them communicating but still somehow staying in sync...
Is that they have to be the same particle, that's the alternative.
That the one electron theory isnt just real, it works on subatomic particles sometimes which in this context is orders of magnitude large...
You think that simplifies but it makes it way crazier.
The exact opposite...
I don't know how to put it any simpler.
Think of it as writing text on a string of ticker tape. The wider the tape, the bigger text, the faster the tape comes out by inches of length.
To relay the same info on a skinner piece of ticker tap, the text shrinks, and the tape comes out slower by length.
Regardless of the size of the text, or the speed the tape, the information is coming out at the same speed consistent speed.
But like,instead of a ticket tape, think of it as x seconds of speech.
I see
