| Jul 28, 2020 at 18:00 | comment | added | MajorTom | Yep, I get it Turtle - just wanting to go another way. @Trioxidane if you can find that info, I'd love to check it out. | |
| Jul 28, 2020 at 17:58 | comment | added | TitaniumTurtle | @HDE226868 I did state that it isn't actually possible, but could be believably handwaved. | |
| Jul 28, 2020 at 17:57 | comment | added | Trioxidane | @HDE226868 I'll have to find where it is, but it is possible to not collapse that wave and still find out information within the wave in some way. It is hopelessly convoluted, but can work. | |

| Jul 28, 2020 at 17:54 | comment | added | The Square-Cube Law | @HDE226868 I think the word you're searching for is magic. | |
| Jul 28, 2020 at 17:51 | comment | added | MajorTom | Yep, that has come up in another question. I don't want to use it - this is partly why: "While this is a common idea in scifi, as I understand it the real world version cannot, even in theory, transmit information by any means regardless of hypothetical technological advancement. It can only synchronize randomness, allowing secure uninterceptible establishment of an encryption key to be used on information sent via other channels." | |
| Jul 28, 2020 at 17:50 | comment | added | HDE 226868♦ | Quantum entanglement can't be used to send information faster than the speed of light, so I think using it in a story would be akin to invoking . . . buzzwords? Technobabble? I'm trying to think of the proper term. | |
