The technology would have to be developed to hold and manipulate the electrons once separated from their entanglement. The absence or presence of a manipulation to the electron would indicate 1 or 0 as in the binary code. There wouldn't be anything transmitted. The faster than light would be only because the other pair of entangled electrons had been incorporated in the communication technology of the space craft before it left Earth. Any manipulation of one electron instantly effects the other. This could be applied to even Earth communication without the need for cell towers or satellite transmission. Now that we have broken out of the mold new ways of perceiving the universe are going to bring us new tools too. We all need hobbies to work on.

Comment Dr. McCoy would be pleased. (Score 1) 91

From all the comments the sticks in the mud probably still believe America has the best health care system in the world. The way these Neanderthals are still going today it is a wonder anyone makes it out alive. The first thing they do for a hospital stay is start sticking you like a pincushion with IV needles because you "have to have them". This is so invasive and damaging to the muscle and nerve cells that they even have to change locations because that entrance can become plugged. My brother still has complications from his pancreatic infection because of the IVs he had during his induced coma not to even mention the drug resistant infection he got from the blood transfusions in the emergency room. The next thing to go will be the oxygen masks and tubes. Researchers in Japan found a way to oxygenate the blood by mixing it in with the blood much like a dialysis patient goes through. The patient is already hooked up with needles and just needs the equipment to mix and return the oxygenated blood back. Breathing is not even required. This would free up the person to be able to talk to their family or friends at life's end when their communication would be most important. I feel this was taken from me at my mom's and dad's passing because they HAD TO HAVE oxygen blown down their lungs. The comment by jimmybuffet is right on that the attention should be to restore primary function and not just manage a condition. They should not be allowed to make outrageous fortunes from others medical issues. That is just wrong on so many levels it is hard to believe that we have become so accepting to this as what our medical treatments should be. Some of us are going to have a better world because we insist on it and will not settle for just what is there. We haven't reached the Star Trek world of medicine yet but Dr McCoy would approve of noninvasive bioscanning. The medical system has helped a lot of people but they also cause some harm to others. We aren't there yet. Keep pushing on.
