Could "Entangled Particles": enable instantaneous communication across light-years of distance?

"Entangled Particles": Could this be the way to communicate instantaneously across light-years of distance?

According to my understanding of author / professor / astronomer Bob Berman, entangled particles by unknown means communicate with one another.

So that if one of them does something, we know what the other particle will do. That's why we call them "entangled".

BUT!!

Physical proximity does not appear to be the means of their entanglement.
If I understand Berman's point, one "entangled" particle could be light-years away from the other; yet the predictability of their action / reaction would be retained.

By the time Humans live light-years away from Earth, will we have the technology to communicate with them as easily as you and I might communicate by telephone?

Or would we still be communicating by radio, the signal of which would take one year, to cross each light-year?

What a tangled web we weave when "Entangled Particles" we conceive.

since it will be while to get a light year from earth, it will a bit hard to test...

Then we'll just have to wait......

Guess we'll find out,
when some distant beings
feel enough sympathy,
to communicate with lowly planet earth.

A human has to be on the other end light years away for it to work?
If it was possible to communicate that way now, a msg couldv been sent saying ''is anybody out there....''& there would be no response for light years

That might not happen...but what if it does


.

True.

Also probably true; but not or reason of distance.

BUT !!

On TV news reports where the anchor introduces and interviews a "foreign correspondent", there can be a lag time of several seconds between the end of the question and the beginning of the answer.

If we had this technology today, we could use it to eliminate that time delay.

Of course, I'm not sure that would justify blowing $Billions on developing the technology. At this point it may not even rise to the level of research. I gather it's mainly just a characteristic of entangled particles that we have discovered.
