Doesn't the totality of research indicate locality is likely not going to be an essential part of a successful quantum theory, as evidenced by entanglement? If something has to go between "freedom of choice", "locality", or "observer-independent facts," as they indicate, it seems locality has...

I guess another way to ask the question is...theoretically, is it feasible to slow the experiment down drastically by using time instead of space? I don't mean in some sci-fi way, I mean by purposefully "holding up" the light by perhaps having it bounce off mirrors (or whatever) for a set...

The real experiments, thanks!

New techniques are slowing down light. Spacial separation is used in Wheeler’s delayed-choice Gedanken experiments to increase the time between aspects of the experiments. Potentially, could new techniques slow the experiments down much further, and, if so, within reason how much slower could...

I actually am familiar with the Andromeda Paradox, so that's a good example. The difference, in millions of years, it's just related to the time it takes light to reach different observers, right? Here what I'm getting at: Say there's an event in my future I'm causally connected to. Can...

The math lol. You are saying, yes, you can do that, and here is how you do that. Obviously the speed of light gives this a limit, a range. I'm trying to figure out what that range is in laymen's terms. Upper end, lower end, in day-to-day terms (seconds, days, whatever). Is that logical? If not I...

Ok, I think I forgot to include the second observer to generate the difference of opinion of simultaneity. Sorry. My point is, simultaneity is asserting that observers can view the same three events in different orders. It appears those different orders have longer intervals between them...

In looking at this light cone diagram, I'm focusing on the part in purple. I'm interested to know if mathematics reveals the exact potential difference in time perceived by observers of three events as they shift between their different planes of simultaneity. This makes more sense using this...

I agree with all of your assertions. Of course I should! First, thanks for the response, despite the speculative wrapping I gave the question. My conundrum is I'm looking to utilize mainstream views to inform what's currently not a very mainstream topic, so that fits this into an awkward box...

I have. As you are probably thinking based on your suggestion, that is one of the possibilities that lurks in the equations (general relativity) viewed more favorably by mainstream science (as least for consideration). Of course their potential allowance by the math is different than...

Thanks for the response. Is it fair to say that scientists are seriously researching and debating if quantum entanglement could be exhibiting faster-than-light behavior, even if there is no current means to utilize that mechanism for information exchange (by us, I mean, of course)? Basically...

This of course is speculative, but IF faster-than-light travel (or wormhole tunneling or some other exotic means) was found to be able to communicate information from the future to the present, what would that indicate about the structure of time? Some might argue that indicates a block-type of...
