Can Signals Be Transmitted Faster Than Light Using Quantum Entanglement?

I wanted to know more about the spin-1/2 photons. I was getting entangled.

I posted this in a similar thread - but what about...

I just can't get past this...

if we use entangled pairs (and a continuous stream of them - orginating from the midpoint between the 2 communicators), all we need to do is have Alice wipe out (with a black absorber - shutter apparatus) a pair.

Bob then see's these 'holes' in the regular stream - which can then be translated to binary - hence comunication.

Please tell my why spin's etc even need to played around with - if an entangled pair is really the SAME particle/photon - then it's enough to wipe one out to communicate...

:)

Tell me I'm a Genius - or show me the error of my way?

What do you mean "wipe out"? Are you suggesting that if one member of an entangled pair is absorbed by an atom, the other will just disappear? That's not how entanglement works.

Who told you that an entangled pair is "really the same photon"?
