I Does entanglement of photons really facilitate telepathy?

[Unbowed_epicure]

TL;DR Summary

TL:DR I just want to know if photons are entangled then can they transfer information.... I do know the no communication theorem states that this isn't possible in cases of faster than light, but if quantum teleportation takes place via a classical channel, does this hold the guy's arguement true?

[This](https://youtu.be/9l6VPpDublg) is a lecture by Persinger where he postulates that photon entanglements and the Earth's magnetic field can facilitate telepathy. (See from 20:00 to 30:00)

Links to the study he cited:
http://neurosciarchive.byethost12.c...ween-physically-and-sensory-isolated-pair.pdfMy questions for you:-

• If you are ready to smack this as woo and nonsense, then could you provide some counter arguements?

•Since teleportation of photons has finally been achieved in 2017, do these point towards indirect proof for his postulating?

• Finally is the no communication theorem/no cloning theorem a proper argument towards this ? Thank you for your time :)

Quantum teleportation can be used to transfer information if a classical channel is used, yes.

However, that does not in itself establish anything about telepathy. Nor does the paper you link to; all it says is that "correlated events" were observed in the brains of different people subjected to similar magnetic brain stimulation. I suspect you could also find such "correlated events" in the brains of different people not subjected to similar magnetic brain simulation; at the very least, if one is going to conduct such experiments, one should include a control case with no artificial stimulation to establish what the baseline expectation is. But in any case, "correlated events" is a long, long, long way from "telepathy".

photon entanglements and the Earth's magnetic field can facilitate telepathy.

Note that, since you need a classical channel anyway to transfer information using quantum entanglement, if it were possible to use magnetic fields interacting with brains to facilitate some kind of telepathy, there would be no need for any quantum entanglement, and it would seem foolish to use it since it's so much harder to set up. Simple classical magnetic fields and simple radio communication between devices should work just fine if this sort of thing is possible at all.
