Doesn't quantum entanglement make it instantaneous? And isn't "maybe" the only answer that is impossible? It either does or does not.

>>8561834
Yes and distance / speed of light.

>>8561834
No and N/A

>>8561880
No.

>>8561834
How do you know it's not the effect of something that happened here?

this

>Doesn't quantum entanglement make it instantaneous?
popsci strikes again

yes, even if the effects are less than a quanta packet of energy

>>8561880
Why would anything on earth be entangled with that rock?

>>8561834
Everything in the universe exerts gravity on everything else based on their distance so yes.

It will minutely increase/decrease certain net forces acting on everything on Earth, in a given direction (based on the direction of this "breeze"), based on the rock's physical properties (mass, mainly). Gravitational effects will be felt at the rate of their propogation, which is the speed of light.

"It does or does not" isn't true at all. Isn't that like, the fundamentals of quantum physics? Quantum superposition and all?

The answer is 'maybe' to 'probably' right now. Some time from now 'space' of the universe may be expanding faster than the speed of light. Current consensus is that means that no information from neighborhood galaxies will ever reach us, and for eternity we will see almost perfectly black nightsky. My bet is we don't know of some matter (might be what we right now call dark matter) or waves residing in much of what we consider vacuum, therefore effect, even thought insanely minor in a short span, would be almost instantaneous.
