Is instant communication of a particle’s characteristics possible? According to Quantum Entanglement, a particle pair can be separated by any distance, and information about one particle can be instantly communicated to the other particle, and, as a result, the other particle can react to the information:

To illustrate, if an entangled photon meets a vertical polarizing filter the photon may or may not pass through. If it does, then its entangled partner will not because the instant that the first photon’s polarization is known, the second photon’s polarization will be the exact opposite.

It is this instant communication between the entangled photons to indicate each other’s polarization that lies at the very heart of quantum entanglement. This is the “spooky action at a distance” that Einstein believed was theoretically implausible.
