I think one way to interpret these kind of experimental results is not
that something was communicated at greater-than-light speeds, but that
the particles in question are somehow *connected*, so that the effect is
instantaneous. I don't know too much about this yet, but I'm trying to
find time to learn more about it.
By the way, Ignatios, where was this work published? Do you have a
citation?
