It is known since nearly 100 years that looking at one object sometimes instantaneously affect another far-away object, due to particles entanglement. This easily also means that, if the 2 entangled particles are one million light years far from each other, and then you "touch" one particle and the other also changes instantaneously, rather than after a million years... this "transfer of something" was way faster than light. Now the question is just about doing proper experiments to verify this, and especially, doing applications.
For example, let's say you can "entangle" two quantum walkie talkie devices, with lots of consummable entangled (paired) particles. If you destroy a particle in device 1 it is gone also in device 2, for example, doing 010101 binary communication effectively, even if consummable. Then you load one device in a rocket and send that (with some patience) outside the solar system, the communication should work instant, rathe than with minutes of delay... earth sun is some 7 seconds light time, not much, but for more far locations this quite matters. But how useful, if it takes billion years to move a satellite at million light years of distance anyway?
