Wow. Thank you for that. And I also just found https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativity_of_simultaneity "According to Einstein's special theory of relativity, it is impossible to say in an absolute sense that two distinct events occur at the same time if those events are separated in space. If one reference frame assigns precisely the same time to two events that are at different points in space, a reference frame that is moving relative to the first will generally assign different times to the two events (the only exception being when motion is exactly perpendicular to the line connecting the locations of both events)." ... which seems to verify my kinda thinking that no such thing as "simultaneous" in the absolute regard (whatever that might really mean) ... distance means time.

I am a science laymen. I just saw the Veritasium video about entanglement and Bell (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuvK-od647c) and have a few questions ... which hopefully will not also be entangled. He says no matter how far apart the entangled electrons they flip "at the same time". How do they know? ... how does one measure both at the "same time"? Can multiple events actually occur at the same time?...or must there be some minimum time difference between any two events (measured events? .. macro? events?) (Is there a 'quantum time' that is different than a 'relative/macro? time'?) Dr. Don Lincoln says (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFozGfxmi8A) "we measure the second one in less time, in "quick succession", so that the 'communication time' must be less than c would need. So isn't THAT communication faster than light? ... that you can read the transfer of information faster than if it were transported over c? (6:15sec). In other words, if c has a limit why isn't time (events) held to that same limit? There's no such thing as time without distance, correct? ... such is space-time? Isn't the nature of distance is that it's two sets of coordinate with a different time stamp?... and vise versa? Furthermore, why is it called 'travel at a distance' ... if "travel" means 'bounded by light' then isn't it something else than 'travel' or 'transfer'? If you had a rod that was incompressible wouldn't the far end literally move at the same time as the near end is moved? (assuming there's no relativistic compression by the observation of transferring energy, right?) Is space-time like that? ... waves get compressed with motion, correct? What is the ƒ of the wave is infinite? ... yes, this is just a crazy thought experiment ... then is there no compression and you in-effect get faster than light communication like the thought experiment rod? (I'm trying to concoct some way for instantaneous action at a distance.) My main questions are bolded but I included these other thoughts as I have the fantasy they help explain what I'm thinking. Thank you, Randy And if they are truly
