I have seen Tom state somewhere on these boards that nonlocal phenomena experiments were invalid. If I were to devise an experiment in which I placed a pair of plant cells at opposite sides of the earth (diameter: approx. 7930 mi)., and caused those cells to send a signal one to the other in 0.03 sec., or better yet, in 0.0000000000002 sec., i.e., at some speed > c, why would this be invalid?

Electromagnetic communications cannot be nonlocal by definition, but gravitational force signals definitely are nonlocal. I'm a strong supporter of the validity of nonlocal phenomena.
BTW, if you could actually do such an experiment, a Nobel Prize would await you. -|Tom|-
