Hyperluminal Radio Communication

Abstract:
A pair of devices can be designed to communicate
exclusively with one another across an indefinitely large
distance and through any intervening obstacle at an
instantaneous speed by using particle-antiparticle pairs, stored
in a magnetic or chemical matrix, and accessed by magnetic
fields or radio waves.
Description:
One consequence of the observed instantaneous quantum
wave collapse is that a pair of particles created together in a
particle fission event are instantaneously connected beyond any
physical interaction. This phenomenon can be used to create a
device that simulates hyperluminal, or faster-than-light, radio
communication.
By colliding high-speed protons and antiprotons, a shower
of smaller particles is produced, among them pairs of electrons
and positrons. It has been observed that, when one particle of
such a pair experiences a change of state (spin, velocity, color,
etc.), the other partner also undergoes a complementary change
at the same moment, observed from a common point of
observation.
Such particles could both be captured in a magnetic bottle or
in a semiconductor or other chemical matrix, and preserved, to
be utilized for hyperluminal "radio" communication.
In order to do so, a magnetic field may be applied to one
partner of the pair, in order to reverse its spin orientation or
other characteristic, and the other one will simultaneously
undergo a corresponding change of state.
The change in state of the complementary particle of the pair
may then be "read" by such means as nuclear magnetic
resonance spectroscopy, or simply by a hard-disk reader, in
case of a fixed ferrous ion.
By modulating the input to the "transmitter" particle, a signal
can be sent, which can be picked up by the "receiver" particle.
Words, voice, television pictures, and other contents could
be transmitted instantaneously by this method.
Discussion:
The limitations are: difficulties in producing, capturing, and
preserving fundamental particles; difficulties in manipulating or
reading out single-particle events; the spin-reversal time
corresponding to a given particle species.
Another question arises with reference to the concept of
"simultaneity" of events, especially if they are separated by
large interstellar distances. Hypothetically, "simultaneity"
would refer to the progression of time relative to the origin of
the particle pair, or to an intermediate position between the two.
This method may potentially solve the problem of time delay
in communication over vast distances as space probes embark
on increasingly long voyages.
