- How would a quantum walkie-talkie work, if you took one of the radios onto the Starship Enterprise, at warp?
I feel like the emerging idea of quantum communications; is that you can exchange data via the synchronous states of entangled particles, across any distance, in real-time.
But, there's also this dilation in the physical world, at the speed of light, according to relativity.
So- how would the data exchange work between entangled particles, with one moving through space at the speed of light, relative to the other?
If there's a simple answer to this, i'll eat my hat.
I'm going to go buy a hat, sterilize and quarantine it for two weeks; and then eat it.
