Modern science and physics has demonstrated multiple times that entangled photons have no such propagation speed or velocity limits.




All photons, entangled or not, propagate at exactly the speed of

light.





From the quantum mechanical perspective, all photons travel at c.



1. photons are emitted (by charged particles)

2. photons propagate at c

3. photons are absorbed (by charged particles)


Photon momentum
p = hν/c = h/λ

Photon Energy
E = hν


And yet you still can not quantify the singular photon wavy-particle as having velocity.

You can do the following experiment, Brad:

You will need a photon generator and a photon detector separated by a
measurable distance. You can use a flashlight to generate the photons
either by an incandescent or LED and you can use your eyes as a
detector.

When you switch on the light photon source, you will detect those
photons with your eyes. Switch off the photon source and the eyes
will no linger detect the photons from the source. This is direct
evidence that the photons detected by the eyes came from the photon
generator.

A more sophisticate apparatus could use light of a specific wavelength
such as a handheld laser.

Propagation has nothing to do with physical velocity.

You can repeat each and every page of your bible, yet nothing has changed for the better because of it.

How are you going to prevent WW3?
