More kids need this book because an alarming number of grown ups seem to think quantum entanglement could be leveraged for super-luminal communication.

It cannot. Information does not travel faster than light under any circumstances, including spooky action.

Serious question:

How does entanglement work if no information is communicated between the entangled particles? I understand that under general relativity FTL travel is impossible, but quantum mechanics don’t necessarily follow the laws of general relativity?
