It can look dumb, but I always had this question as a kid, what physical principles would prevent this?

    You also cannot choose the spins of entangled particles, they collapse randomly in either direction when interacted with, meaning you cannot send messages. If you can figure out how to directly influence the spin of generated subatomic particles then BAM you have FTL communication.

    But you would be amazed how many obstacles the universe throws in front of you when you try to break the speed of causality. Faster than light communication isn’t possible because it makes no sense when you understand it. It’s like “getting answers faster than questions.” It’s nonsense.

      Wouldn’t that still be normal light speed communication from earth to two places on the moon, not FTL communication between two places on the moon?
