Re: quantum entanglement
Hey! You said you would keep it simple!. Sending messages over long distances by quantum entanglement faster thant the speed of light, would likely also have to violate the physical laws (as we know them) of the time/space continuum. The method of excitation could only approach "c" and not exceed it...if I'm understanding the application here.
Transmitting information "faster" that the speed of light, still requires physical changes in the environment of the sender and the reciever (through whatever mechanism)...so to send info faster then the speed of light still involves problems with the physics of time as we know it..time itself would need to be reversed at the receiving end for the information or Code to get there before light.

Tachyons and Sci-Fi
A lot of great scientic realty was developed from Sci-Fi.01

Re: Tachyons and Sci-Fi
Lots of technology developed by NASA for the space program was sci-fi first, jet packs, CT scans, space stations to name a few.

Flat earthers
There is also the flat earth society. I think these people must "act" like they believe this for attention. I just can't fathom people ignoring the facts.

Yep.
The distances are staggering. Some nebulae stretch hundreds of light years across space. The magnitude is difficult for a lot of people to comprehend.

Ha!
Thats the funniest thing I ever read...they tried a bad news/ hydrocarbon/lox rocket engine once...but it just backfired with a loud POP and left a smelly gas like sulfer or old boiled eggs.
