Spooky Action from Supernova in 3113BC?

Swiss physicists have unleashed a large-scale experiment that proves what Einstein described as “spooky action at a distance.” Although this has been proven previously, this is the first time it has been shown to work over a long distance.

From Geneva they sent a pair of photons along fiber-optic cables, one to each village. When they measured one photon upon its arrival, the other changed instantaneously —though it was 11 miles away. This weird linkage, called quantum entanglement, raises exotic possibilities like teleportation. When two particles are entangled, the measurement of one immediately affects the other, no matter how distant.

...One might assume that one particle sent an ultrafast signal to its partner, says physicist Nicolas Gisin, a member of the University of Geneva team. If that were true, the quantum communiqué would have traveled at more than 10,000 times the speed of light, something difficult to reconcile with the known laws of physics.

The story is one of the top 100 science stories of 2008, as recently judged by Discover magazine.

I find this topic interesting because it is the foundation of one of the more bizarre ideas I have had for 2012 - perhaps the 2012 event was not predicted by the Mayans, but rather seen. If information can travel faster than light, yet the damage a supernova can cause will travel just under the speed of light, the news could get here thousands of years beforehand.

Therefore it might be possible to deduce, if the information arrived in 3113BC, and the damage will arrive in 2012AD, how far away the object is, and possibly identify it.
