We can almost agree on that though I'd say that's a huge understatement.

No matter how far apart they are, when the polarization of one photon is determined by a measurement, somehow the other photon instantaneously “knows” the outcome and will always be found to be vibrating in a perpendicular direction.
Now, that’s pretty cool – but it can’t really be used for faster-than-light communication purposes for the simple reason that we cannot control the polarization of the entangled particles.

String theory is based upon certain sacred geometries of major religions - both known and - shall we say, "never revealed until now"? This astounding isomorphism between mystical knowledge and the hard logic of a scientific theory has now been proved as rigorously as any theorem in a mathematical textbook, hard though this may be for you to believe. To confirm this claim for yourselves, you will have to spend several months in sustained study - that is, if: 1. you have the necessary mathematical ability to understand the Lie group theory underlying superstring theory, 2. you know enough about Kabbalah and Pythagorean number philosophy, and 3. you can correlate all the analyses. If you think you may be up to it, look here. Then graduate to the sublime section here. However, I advice you to start at the beginning here.
During this journey of discovery, you will encounter sublime evidence of transcendental intelligence. I won't tell where to look as you have to inform and train your mind for the experience. You will know when you find it! But you will need to work hard so that you can appreciate what you are looking at. You will not see this anywhere else.

The universe-is-a-brain is beaten topic. According to all the data available, I don't think it can work.

Lets say the universe actually does look like that. If it does it shouldn't be a big shocker. There is only so many ways energy could move on a 3 dimensional plan - so there should be something else that looks alike. It would be more weird if it didn't look like anything else.
As far as manipulating the code goes. I don't see that happening. At least not to any effect that would be problematic. I think if they actually have found error correcting code then it is just variable correcting and any attempt at changing the error correcting qualities would be caught and dealt with. I think it definitely isn't any major function that could mess up anything. What they have found is probably just there so we don't see ghosts of ourselves every time we take a step. The main functions aren't going to be ran locally.
What kind of fear porn do you have about string theory code manipulation? I do love doom.

You are trying to apply what happens quantumly to what happens on a macro scale... Which is a direct misuse of quantum theory that specifically states that nothing on a quantum level can describe what happens on a larger scale. Now I will admit that there are interesting correlations, but nothing calculably conclusive...
About your thread... not to rag on you... but I would offer a few suggestions like uploading the pictures you want shown and put them directly into a thread. Pull some quotes for your articles to directly show people what they need to get from the article to help your point along. A few clean up things could make your thread, and your point, more... palatable...

What about entanglement?
If information cannot transfer faster then the speed of light. how can the information contained in the parts of the universe that are separating from other parts faster then the speed of light, travel faster then the speed of light?
