"Only limited by the speed of light..."

They then go on to describe what sounds like

  • transmitting a single specific photon through ‘the internet’, implying start-to-finish with routing (not possible without special infrastructure)

  • Use that photon to then send information instantly by manipulating its entangled sibling (also not possible)

So yeah this article is a crock of shit.

The article did not describe either of those things that way. Cynicism is overriding reading comprehension.
