It is not known how these stones operate, but the technology explained in the show usually revolves around wormholes for instant teleportation, faster-than-light, space-warping travel, and sometimes around quantum multiverses. This can have powerful applications. New York: W. Superluminal communication other than possibly through wormholes is likely impossible [1] because, in a Lorentz-invariant theory, it could be used to transmit information into the past. To really understand quantum entanglement-based communication, one should first understand what quantum entanglement is. Prometheus Books. Through the hypernet, communications and data are routed through nanoscopic wormholes, using conventional electromagnetic signals. Put simply, it is when two particles are bound together no matter the physical distance between them. A number of theories and phenomena related to superluminal communication have been proposed or studied, including tachyons , neutrinos , quantum nonlocality , wormholes , and quantum tunneling.
