How did the guys who just won the Nobel Prize in Physics devise an experiment that tested Einstein's famous EPR thought experiment involving quantum entanglement? A room for the experiment would not allow minuscule differences in velocity between light speed and instantaneous speed to be measured since the distance between particles is so small. 1 billion miles would be a piece of cake since differences in velocity woukd be obvious.
Einstein claimed that once entangled particles were separated by a great distance such as 1 billion miles, information about the change in state of one particle could not travel faster than the speed of light, so not instantaneous. He reasoned they would not be entangled any more.
