I am about to ask a difficult question. It's not difficult because it's hard but because you have to answer as though you are talking to someone who knows little to nothing about physics.... because you are. I read that doing experiments in "Action at a distance" doesn't violate the speed of light speed limit since no actually information is being sent, and that all we are observing is random choice. But what if (thought experiment!) we had at the end of both pathways the particles are traveling a small device that detects the particle and gives a preassigned number for that particle depending on it's random nature. For example it gives the number 0 for one particular random choice it makes and the number 1 for the other random choice it makes. If both devices are in sync then both devices should be given the same random code generated from the particles. Let's say that two scientist are separated by several miles and each receive their code and scientist A agrees to lock away a object in a safe that has a number pad and he uses his code as his password. Wouldn't the information of scientist A's password be instantaneously given to scientist B allowing him to retrieve the locked away object? This sounds like information traveling faster than light to me, but as I said before I am making this assumption knowing very little about this sort of thing. Please explain this to me.
I am talking about photons
Thanks Nobody for your answer and keeping it simple. I guess what I am specifically saying here is that if Scientist A uses a randomly generated code and Scientist B instantly knows that code. Even if both codes had the same origin, it doesn't prevent the fact that 2 people separated by a unknown distance know something that the other one knows and they both know it faster than if A was to send it to B at light speed or vise versa. Basically both A and B learn something about the other by doing this even though they are learning it for them selves at the same time.
