      They then go on to describe what sounds like

      • transmitting a single specific photon through ‘the internet’, implying start-to-finish with routing (not possible without special infrastructure)

      • Use that photon to then send information instantly by manipulating its entangled sibling (also not possible)

      So yeah this article is a crock of shit.
