    I’m pretty sure it’s impossible to transmit bits “instantly” i.e. faster than light under the current quantum theory or relativity theory, you can’t transmit information faster than the speed of light. If somebody found a way to do that, we’d be rewriting the laws of physics, and that would be a big deal for sure.

      Quantum mechanics do “bypass” the speed of light from my understanding.

      It’s not that you’re moving anything or actually bypass the speed of light. You just have basically a value that’s “entangled” so when it’s changed in one place it’s instantly changed in the other; it’s really freaky.
