by In quantum physics two molecules can become entangled and then behave as a pair no matter how far apart they are separated. If two die become entangled it might mean that every time they are thrown their combined number always comes to 7. So, if one's a 5 the other will be 2, etc. If they are separated across the universe they will still always equal 7 no matter how often you throw the dice, but how can they communicate with each other at instant speeds, and infinitely faster than the speed of light?But was Einstein correct after all and no signal, or particle, can travel faster than the speed of light. Einstein didn't like the new quantum physics.Arvin is right that the conclusions are uncomfortable. It would appear that there is no time and that every thing is set out at once - and so

Arvin is right that the conclusions are uncomfortable. It would appear that there is no time and that every thing is set out at once - and so the end is already with us. If it is already predetermined that two die will become entangled and then their combined value will be forever be 7 after that, then there is no need for signals to travel faster than the speed of light for this process to work.
But if Everything is all here at once, how did everything instantly come about - did everything just pop into existence already made? One moment it's not there, the next moment it is. Or has everything always been here, with no beginning in time. But there might not be any time anyway, it seems.
And yet, here we are figuring it all out, which is predetermined as well. That means it has already been figured out before we got here. Weird! But perhaps we will never fully understand it?
Yep, it feels uncomfortable.
