    There probably is some law of physics preventing that, a cosmic censor or something.

    Time travel by going back in time is impossible.
    Your thesis hasn't made it to the press yet.

    You just said in your previous post;

    " We are already going forward in time. " (Your quote. My emphasis)

    So its not him who is lying; Its you.
    Forward and future are not the same thing. You are a lying troll. Get a better hobby.

    Sorry, my first post wasn't worded well...what I meant was, since two particles (no matter how distant), are instantly affected, then there would be zero travel TIME between the two particles . If there were two (manned) spaceships, 10 light years apart, and they were entangled, then the travel time between them would be ZERO.
    No, it would be 10 years of travel. They are NOT instantly affected.

    Your usual delusional arrogant ignorance;

    https://www.sciencealert.com/einstein-spooky-action-demonstrated-on-massive-scale-for-first-time
    "Quantum entanglement links particles in a way that they instantly affect each other, even over vast distances. "

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_entanglement
    "Quantum entanglement is a label for the observed physical phenomenon that occurs when a pair or group of particles is generated, interact, or share spatial proximity in a way such that the quantum state of each particle of the pair or group cannot be described independently of the state of the others, even when the particles are separated by a large distance."

    Spooky action at a distance was predicted in the twenties (I think).
    Einstein didn't like it and actually proposed the preposterous prediction
    of Quantum Mechanics as an argument against it.

    It was however confirmed in the last 30 years.

    I don't think anybody predicted it. Nobody even understands it.

    It doesn't act faster than the speed of light. For that reason it is not instantaneous as some people often erroneously say. It may seem instantaneous as light seems, but it is not really. Humy is taking statements too literally. He has poor critical thinking skills.

    Spooky action at a distance 1 light year away would take 1 year of travel. If it didn't take that long it would prove Einstein wrong when he said nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. That would be big news if it were proven to travel faster than the speed of light. Everyone would be talking about how Einstein was wrong.

    Don't listen to humy. He is a moron.

    Quantum entanglement cannot transmit information which is why it does not violate the speed of light rule.

    Einstein did not propose Quantum Mechanics. Bohr, Schrödinger and Heisenberg did. In fact QM is incompatible with General Relativity which frustrated Einstein to no end.

    How the hell would you know?
    You are certainly no science expert!
    Well, guess, what, it WAS predicted, and by some people a LOT smarter than you and I that knew and understood some things we don't, and then much later that prediction was experimentally proven to be true; Such is you delusional arrogant ignorance.
    And your last above post is just all your usual kind of STIUPID implied straw man because most of us science experts ALREADY KNEW all that.

    I've read enough of Humy's posts to see that he is nothing of the
    sort, and enough of your posts not to take any advice from you.

    I proved him wrong countless times and I just did it again.

    You mean by whom?

    Such phenomena (entanglements) were the subject of a 1935 paper
    by Albert Einstein, Boris Podolsky, and Nathan Rosen, and several papers
    by Erwin Schrödinger shortly thereafter, describing what came to be
    known as the EPR paradox. Einstein and others considered such behavior
    to be impossible, as it violated the local realism view of causality
    (Einstein referring to it as "spooky action at a distance"😉 and argued that the
    accepted formulation of quantum mechanics must therefore be incomplete.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_entanglement

    So that was in 1935 (later than I first suggested) but it was not proven until much later.
