Correlation is not causation! Little known fact of science is how quantum entanglement can seemingly violate the speed limit of light. What actually happens is similar to a wave hitting a beach at an angle. The point were the wave hits the beach moves along it much more rapidly than the waves themselves. It hits it first up in New York, for instance, and moments latter it hits Florida. Now this correlation, which happens because of how the ocean was set in motion is much more rapid than the wind which powers the waves, indeed it can even exceed the speed of light. Yet because it is not causative, it cannot be used for communication... or can it? If two people know each other in Jerusalem, and one go visit me in Lund, while the other visits the Dalai Lama in tibet, then both I and his holiness may come to understand them, and thus understand each other, across great distance of space. For these peopel to travel to us takes time, of course, but there is no need to wait for such a state to come into being, as it happens all the time, across all space and time. The starlight, for instance, has been traveling for thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even billions of years before reaching us. You cannot observe a system without changing its behaviour. This is so in quantum mechanics. It is also true for human beings, due to our psychology, and if every action has an equal but opposite reaction, it must too hold true for the stars in the sky and cosmic microwave background. As einsteins theories based on cosmology affected nuclear tests and our interaction with the solar system, as a pebble dropped in a clear lake cause ripples in its surface, as even the fog of war itself influences our society and understanding of ourselves, so does looking to the skies affect the heavens. Thus if you wish to break the fundamental speed limit of the universe, go beyond Warp 10 and talk to beings on distant planets, well all you need to do is simply this: https://youtube/watch?v=pguMUFyJ3_U
