I'm 12 and what is this?

A team of Chinese physicists have clocked the speed of spooky action at a distance — the seemingly instantaneous interaction between entangled quantum particles — at more than four orders of magnitude faster than light. Their equipment and methodology doesn’t allow for an exact speed, but four orders of magnitude puts the figure at around 3 trillion meters per second.

Spooky action at a distance was a term coined by Einstein to describe how entangled quantum particles seem to interact with each other instantaneously, over any distance, breaking the speed of light and thus relativity. As of our current understanding of quantum mechanics, though, it is impossible to send data using quantum entanglement, preserving the theory of relativity. A lot of work is being done in this area, though, and some physicists believe that faster-than-light communication might be possible with some clever manipulation of entangled particles.

inb4 a shit load of people who don't understand any physics, but are on the internet, and are therefore experts.
 
Actually, FTL communication is possible if you can prove negative mass exists:

NASA - Status of "Warp Drive"

Yes, I know this a warp drive designed to go many times faster than the speed of light, but clearly if you put a message on it and send it to another planet, you're communicating at superluminal speeds, hence FTL communication. Of course this all depends on a very hypothetical and as of yet undiscovered/unverified negative mass particle.
