    Man, that quantum entanglement article has some glaring mistakes in relatively basic facts, e.g.:

    nothing in nature can travel faster than the speed of light except for photons, which possess zero rest mass.

    Photons obviously don’t travel faster than light, I assume that one was just a brainfart.

    But it’s also not just photons which go at the speed of light. Anything with no mass, so for example also gravitational waves, travels at the speed of light/causality.

    Really annoys me, because my current understanding is that faster-than-light communication with quantum entanglement is just complete horseshit. But various people, who know a lot more about this stuff, seem to have not dismissed it yet, so I always try to find those perspectives. This does not appear to be one of those…
