I was once very interested to find  Richard Feynman, (I think it was in his QED, the Strange Theory of Light and Matter) claiming that at the quantum level, the speed of light is a statistical phenomenon; it's not the absolute limiting constant that it is in relativity.

Thank you for that clarification. Vast possibilities, indeed.

They really mean instantaneous, not the speed of light. So yes, there are vast possibilities if we could get it to work....

Subject: [TML] O/T: Quantum entanglement
 
While we're talking physics...

Every description I've read, watched or heard about quantum entanglement says that, when you change the properties of one of the particles, the properties of the other instantaneously change, regardless of how far apart they are.

Really? Instantaneous? Or do they mean 'at the speed of light which, given the scale of the experiments we've carried out is so quick that it is, for all practical purposes, instantaneous'?
