My Quantum Theory: (sorry, @AlbertEinstein)

There is the conventional and widely asserted theory that, the signal between two related Quantum particles arrives at precisely the moment it departed, therefore making v (velocity) equal to infinity, irrespective of d (distance).

• But, what if this posit is wrong and we assume that's how it must be because we presuppose that the particles themselves operate within the realm or 'fabric' of space-time and are therefore subject to all its accompanying rules and laws, as well as the their associated limitations?

  
  

(Furthering the point: What if the, perhaps yet to be discovered or determined, laws of quantum physics permit the bizarre and eerie behaviors enunciated hereinafter?)

• - First scenario: These entangled particles become able to bend the very 'fabric' of space-time, and shorten any distance to nigh on non-existent levels, allowing for instantaneous travel, regardless of distance. But such capability is highly doubtful.

  
  

• - Second scenario: The really spooky second possibility is that time may be stopped or frozen for them, essentially, becoming non-existent or unreal to these particles. Perhaps quantum physics allow such behavior in rules we have yet to discover, hence, our understanding of quantum physics is incomplete.

  
  

• In such a scenario, we see that speed is now able to have a constant, defined value, and therefore be definite, as well as being able to be any value, and will still be instantaneous for us.

  
  

(Further explanation: we are living inside the space-time 'continuum', and the signal is sent when the particles have their time frozen and so are outside the space-time 'continuum', so no matter how infinitesimal the speed, the communication will always be instant, at least for us.)

• The only reason why t is stated as having a value of 0, is because time stops for us.

An atom which stops moving (i.e. reaches -273 deg K) is shattered to pieces, ergo Time can never stop for us, until mayhap, we are already dead, but that's evidently another matter.

• It is simply implausible that the speed of the signal transmitted will be able to yield a time interval that will be always constant with a value of 0 irrespective of the distance required to travel. Time, in such a scenario, will, and must have a value greater than 0.

(Further explanation: Though, we can’t measure it, since the event is taking place outside the space-time 'continuum', time will have stopped for us, and will not be moving, so it it immeasurable; .. to us!! Therefore, we assign a value of 0 to ‘t’ by default.)

• We, as outside observers that are within the space-time 'continuum', perceive the communication as having a time value of 0 and being instantaneous, but in reality, since those entangled particles are the ones who stop time, and therefore get out of the space-time 'continuum', time stops for them and not us, so everything, including ourselves, essentially freeze, so to those particles, they communicate as if time was passing normally, when the case is, in reality, that no time lapses at all whatsoever.

  
  

(Further expansion: Thereby, the communication is not instantaneous outside the space-time 'continuum' for the signal to be transmitted to the other entangled particle, and wherein the value of that time interval for the communication is greater than 0 and is contingent upon the speed at which the signal travels, so the greater the speed, the lower the time value and vice versa. And thus, maintaining the status of time as the dependent variable in this equation.)

• That is why the equation works, but only theoretically, since we are always operating within the space-time 'continuum' and therefore will always perceive the phenomena as being instantaneous, thus, will never be able to measure t and have no option but to assign it a value of 0 within its respective position in the equation.

  
  

• Therefore, we can posit that even though the original theory of infinite speed is plausible, we think it could be possible that there is another scenario that allows for such a bizarre communication phenomena to take place, but under even more bizarre conditions. Whilst in the second scenario time is stopped, thereby allowing for instantaneous communication irrespective of both speed and distance travelled.

  
  

(Further clarification: Because, even if they are billions of lightyears apart, and moving away from each other, the signal will eventually reach the other side, where the term 'eventually' intimates instantly, since the communication happens outside the space-time 'continuum' and is not subject to the laws and concomitant limitations of operating within the the known and unknown Universe)
