Re: Could more of the Milky Way be coming?

Personally, I think Bioware should not canonize the endings of ME3 and should make very different alter ending and why the communication gone dark. 

How do you they communicate between galaxies without a Massive time lag?

    Using Geth tech (less lag at least) same way they took the scans of the golden worlds.

    Quantum Entanglement should, theoretically, span the entire universe.

    assuming the matched pairs back in the milkyway are still functioning, still haven't figured out how that whole QEC system works... so, i guess i have to go with space magic.

    As soon as you can explain the hard science of mass effect I'll be happy to explain QEC. At least Quantum Entanglement is actual theory. 🙂

    Short answer is if you generate two (or more) particles by splitting they will always have a total (X) for measurement. If you separate them they will still maintain that (X) value. If you then modify one set/particle to be different ( X - 1) the other will instantaneously compensate to maintain the total value (become X + 1). You could use that to form code to communicate with - limited only by the speed you could alter the particles... and your ability to maintain both parts of the divided set of particles.

    i at least get that much, however, i fail to see how they patched several additional QEC com channels into a single device, as that's what it looked like in me3... unless it was just anderson who had the matching com unit, and regular coms were integrated into the normandy's unit. oh, i guess it doesn't matter, especially 640 years in the future.

     Hehe, I always feel a bit torn when it comes to magic versus science. It's cool to figure out how things work but at the same time when you do, the magic's gone...if you know what I mean.

    Early in the original series I think it was only a direct line, but, if you were establishing a network, if you can harness a single particle there's no reason you couldn't also harness a second (or more) and establish chains or circles of QEC that would relay messages amongst themselves. If you made the network a circle it would take the loss of two QEC to isolate anyone, and, if you added more to daisy chain to lessen the number of repeating stations, it would take the loss of more and more to completely isolate any QEC.
