Entanglement Telescope

morreale Monday 18 of February, 2013
I have kind of a crazy astronomy idea that occurred to me after reading The Hidden Reality by Brian Greene and Warped Passage by Lisa Randall. After the big bang, the universe went through a rapid expansion that uniformly distributed matter across the entire universe and also gave us low entropy (low disorder) as I understand it in a hand wavy kind of way. I'm wondering how much if any of this matter was entangled before and during the inflation period, and if any of it is still entangled today. If entanglement occurred and you could find some of this matter that is still entangled to measure here on earth, would you be able to learn something useful about the whole universe without the limitations of the speed of light? I think of this concept as a way to make an entanglement telescope. Entangled particles could be much farther away than particles seen in the observable universe using light. Decoding a signal based in entangled particles that may on a many-to-one configuration may be very difficult. There would be no knowledge of the location of the remote entangled particle(s) or there environment either.
