What if the "no-cloning theorem"[0] wasn't actually right? That would enable doing a bunch of copies of the same particle state, making it possible to predict the probability distribution of each particle. That way it would be possible to send information doing measurements[1] rather than forcing a particle state.

So, quantum mechanics isn't linear in nature any more? And it gets to transmit information superluminally? It's probably more likely that we're all living in a simulation and the devs accept a pull request from us increasing the speed of light so we can play games better. The no-cloning theorem itself is actually pretty fundamental to quantum mechanics and it would be very unexpected if it was wrong.
