I think this was demonstrated very well on Star Trek. They can talk
across light years instantly. To bad Gene is dead. He could have helped
us all out with just how to do this. It was in all the scripts, it must
be true. It is my mythology so don't be making fun of it.

Read about quantum computers - way beyond my understanding - but instant
communication is probably not totally far-fetched. But anyone who
knows is welcom to contradict me on this!

It is known as Quantum entanglement communication. in theory it works
(and doesn't which is very quantum) it is similar to teleportation where
a particle has been teleported in as much as the defining state
information from the particle has been sent to another particle.
It is doubtful whether either can be brought into the macro world so it
could be a long time before anyone gets to say "beam me up Scotty".

The idea behind Quantum entanglement communication is that you create
quantum twin particles that are entangled and manipulate one to create
instant reaction with the other. "Spooky action at a distance"-Einstien.

And as soon as someone suggests it someone says it is not possible.
There is a No-Communication hypothesis that prevents the sending of
information via a quantum entangled state.

My head hurts now.
