I've tried to find a relevant thread to post this in, but all seem to be way above my knowledge level and / or are very old. Perhaps this is not even the correct forum because my question assumes there is entanglement and we've also found a way to utilize it..
Anyway, I just read this article from nist.gov, found it very intriguing, and I was wondering about the following scenario..
Let's assume we've discovered a way to utilize QE to the point we have real time (faster than light speed) communication over any distance. Now let's assume we launch a powerful telescope and position it about 5 times the distance of the moon away, or roughly 5 light seconds from earth, and aim it back at ourselves.
I position the telescope (with its super high 1TB sensor camera) aimed back at me standing in a field, about 5 meters away from me there is a table with my special quantum enabled remote trigger to the camera on the telescope. I walk over to the table, pick up the remote and fire the shutter on the camera.
When I get the image, is it a picture of me standing 5 meters away from the table? (assuming it took me exactly 5 seconds to walk over and trigger the remote)
