Entanglement in time
I heard that there is an experiment that uses quantum entanglement to try to send messages back to the past. I am having a hard time understanding how such experiments would work theoretically.
Can anyone offer me some insights toward these types of experiment?
My theory is if one day we can send a message to the past, somebody will obviously sent message in the past to explain they are able to send message over the time.
Today, as we know, we never receive this kind of message. So we will never able to send message in the past.
I don't know what kind of experiment might work like that. The only thing that comes to mind is that it could somehow exploit the superluminal speed of wavefunction collapse to transmit information. But this is, of course, impossible.
Although the collapse itself is instantaneous, it is completely random so there is no information transferred in it. The moment of transfer comes when the two parties use classical communication to compare the measurement results on both parts of the system. But this can never happen faster than with the speed of light.
