Quantum entanglement does not surpass or violate the speed of light as a fundamental limit of the universe. It is a phenomenon where two or more particles become correlated in such a way that the state of one particle is dependent on the state of another, regardless of the distance between them. When particles are entangled, measuring the state of one particle instantaneously affects the state of the other.

While the instantaneous correlation between entangled particles may seem to imply faster-than-light communication, it does not actually allow for the transmission of information. The act of measuring one entangled particle does not enable the transfer of information or communication between the particles at a speed faster than light. This is because the specific outcome of the measurement on one particle is unpredictable until it is observed, and any attempt to transmit information through entangled particles would still require a classical, slower-than-light means of communication to establish a shared reference frame and interpret the results.

Quantum entanglement remains consistent with the speed of light being a fundamental speed limit of the universe. It does not provide a method for transmitting information faster than light, and any meaningful communication still adheres to the constraints imposed by the speed of light.
