Teleportation of information has been experimentally confirmed across space. But what about across time? If one half of an entangled pair is sent into an accelerator and accelerated to sublight speed, doesn't that mean that time will be slowed down for the accelerated particle? So if the unaccelerated particle's state is affected, doesn't this in turn mean that the change in its twin will no longer be instantaneous and will take time to register? If decoherence doesn't occur for the accelerated particle and entanglement survives acceleration doesn't this then imply that as far as the accelerated particle is concerned its state is being determined by an event in its future?
And if the above holds true, when the accelerated particle is then removed from the accelerator, will any time differential still exist between the entangled pair or will they somehow 'snap' back together into a shared present?
