OK, I am no Quantum physics wiz, but doesn't that the fact that there is a
50% chance to hit target E or F if there is an observation made on the London
photon mean that you can't transmit meaningful information regardless of
whether there was an observation? The information would not be reliable
because of this... the only POSITIVE way we would know an observation was
made would be if the photon hit target F. How can we communicate meaningful
information reliably when we can only detect messages 50% of the time in the
first place? Or does the gate delay have something to do with it?
