is faster than light as proved by 'spooky pariticles' which can communicate with each other instantaneously such that they are reacting before news of the event arrives.

Fundamental particles that are born together 'created in the same quantum state,' to be precise forever after share a ghostly bond. Like identical twins, they seem to know about each other even when far apart. Consider two particles with oppositely directed 'spins.' If two partides are created whose spins point in opposite directions, their spins will always point in opposite directions. In other words, if one particle were somehow to be taken to the far side of the Moon or the far side he universe, for that matter and flipped so that its spin pointed the ler way, the particle left at home would flip too. ncredible thing is that the particle back on Earth would react instantaneously that is, as if the news of its partner flipping had traveled home at an infinite speed. However, as Einstein was the first to realize, no material object or signal of any kind can travel faster than the speed of light. The speed of light is enormous a light beam can travel from the Moon to Earth in just over a second but it is not infinite. Everything in the universe is in some weird sense linked, because all particles those out of which you are made and those that constitute the most distant galaxy were once together in the same state during the Big Bang. The 'spooky' connectedness of particles, in violation of the cosmic speed limit, was cited by Einstein as a reason why quantum theory had to be wrong. Unfortunately for Einstein, careful experiments carried out in laboratories since the early 1980s have confirmed that partides can indeed communicate with each other instantaneously. Despite this, quantum theory remains compatible with the existence of an ultimate speed limit the speed of light. This is because only limited kinds of information can be transferred instantaneously between particles. It would not be possible, for instance, to send a meaningful message. The experiments have shown that quantum theory is right and Einstein wrong. However, this still leaves physicist with the problem ofexig how narticles communicate with each other, apparently faster than light. The problem goes away entirely, according to Hadley, if fundamental particles contain time loops. Because past, present, and future are all the same to them, in a sense fundamemai particles live outside time. There is ... is therefore nothing to stop such a particle reacting to an event before it actually happens. According to Hadley, this is all that is happening when a particle reacts instantaneously to its partner flipping direction. It is simply reacting before news of the event arrives' (Chown:2001)
