This is quite cool -- faster-than-light communication might be seen in our lifetimes. A transmitter and receiver could contain two paired particles and change their spin to communicate.

Science has finally solved annoying international phone lag!

...and the implications for communcating with space probes, etc, are fairly large. No more seven minute wait in sending commands to a Mars probe.

That is, if they get this all working beyond the millimeters of distance they're working with, today.
