Was Einstein wrong?

Popular science threads have actually been a regular feature of this site and its predecessor for a long time. Its fun to follow them.
 
Uh, Yup. Its exactly why Einstein came up with the theory. To prove Quantum theory wrong. Turns out that Bell came up with a theorem that proved it was possible and testable, and then it was tested and proven that entanglement is a real phenomenon.

But Einstein's folly was that he assumed that it had to classically breach relativity, which it does not. But Einstein was still wrong.

Yeah, entanglement basically transfers noise instantly, and has no effect at the macroscopic level. It doesn't violate relativity.

And as a matter of course, Einstein wasn't the one who came up with the concept of the cosmic speed limit. So, put up fool. I'm curious.

Einstein mainly came up with the idea that everything was relative to the constant speed of light, so you're right here. But people often talk about him as if he did, which was my main point.
