Faster than light information travel aparatus
Ok, so I am not a physics pro, but I find it very interesting. And I just finished reading about Bell's theorem and I have a question.
As I understand it, the laws are like this for entangled photons:
1. If you measure the polarization of photon 1 at angle A, you know the polarization of photon 2 at angle A is the opposite.
2. The polarization at angle A is reset at random if you measure any other angle, but otherwise stays the same
So let's say that I build a device on Earth that spits out entangled photon pairs rapidly and continuously. And let's say the device is configured such that we know the photons that the device emit from the left side will reach Mars after 7 minutes. The photons that the device spits out from the right side on the other hand goes through a path of mirrors that takes exactly 6 minutes and 59 seconds to traverse.
Now let's say that on Mars we have another device that detects these photons and reads their A angle and interprets the result as bits like on a normal network.
We start up the transmitter and after 6 minutes and 59 seconds we measure the A angle on earth. If we want the A angle to be up and it is already up, we simply keep the photon for 2 more seconds before letting it escape. If the angle is not what we want it to be, we measure angle B to reset and then measure angle A again and keep doing this until we have the preferred value for angle A. And let's say that our advanced machine can do this 1000 times in one second so that we have only a 1/2^1000 chance of not aligning our photon pair before the receiver reads it. If both Mars and Earth had a receiver and a transmitter, this noise and other noise could be mitigated with check summed packages such as it is done already on networks today.
If such a device was possible, I am sure others would have thought about it before me, so where am I wrong?
