A telescope with the diameter of the earth would be able to just resolve an object the size of the earth in the andromeda galaxy.
Say the quantum of light hits within an inch of the edge of the telescope. Resolution does not drop with intensity so the resolution of that single quantum (one of a billion billion to the watt second) would have to involve the total telescope. Since the quantum is already traveling at the SoL, wouldn't that mean that some aspect of it would have to be interacting with the whole area of the telescope faster than light?
Quantum entanglement with a reflective surface or lense? stephen kearney
