Couldn't you measure the state of the entangled pair and record it? Then take one particle and walk it over the next village. Assume Bob and Alice have both agreed to look at their particles every 3 seconds. If the state changes relative to the last state, that's a 1. If you see the same state twice, that's a 0.
So would that be 1 bit of information every 6 seconds, or am I totally screwing up the quantum reverse tachion stream?
No. Once you measure it, it is no longer entangled. Also, you cannot set the state to whatever you want. You can only measure different properties of the particles.
It doesn't really make sense. Think of it as, there's probably something really intuitive happening, but physicists haven't figured that out yet. Instead we only have really complicated formulas and unintuitive metaphors. So don't think that necessarily things "really change" when you measure them. That's just the simplest assumption we have right now that makes the formulas workable.
