Not at all qualified to mention this, as a googler wouldn’t quantum entanglement be a counter example to faster-than-light travel?

So we’re still within the speed of light limit, but information can be “passed”

No. Entanglement does not allow information to travel faster than light.

You can instantly know the state of another particle by measuring it's twin, but you can't do anything useful with that info until you share the results of your measurements (at the speed of light).
