Man, that quantum entanglement article has some glaring mistakes in relatively basic facts, e.g.:
Photons obviously don't travel faster than light, I assume that one was just a brainfart.
But it's also not just photons which go at the speed of light. Anything with no mass, so for example also gravitational waves, travels at the speed of light/causality.
Really annoys me, because my current understanding is that faster-than-light communication with quantum entanglement is just complete horseshit. But various people, who know a lot more about this stuff, seem to have not dismissed it yet, so I always try to find those perspectives. This does not appear to be one of those...
