speed of information as tool to explore. (Score 1)

I am surprised more has not come from the Alain Aspect experiments of 1982 and their resounding defeat of the Einstein-Podulsky-Rosen theorem regarding the speed at which information travels. Is there any current research being focused on the use of instantaneous information transmission as a tool to explore the vast distances of the universe or to better understand it? Has any substantial metaphysical or QM research taken off along the lines of exploring the fact that all matter and energy is still influenced and quantum mechanically 'tied' to other matter, that is now a great distance away, due to their interaction a long long time ago?
