Astronomers detect regular rhythm of radio waves, with origins unknown

There are a lot of cool concepts in those books, but the sophon faster-than-light communication that props up a lot of the story was a bit too much for me.

The theory of quantum entanglement is sound though, and it took a while for a single sophon to arrive before the FTL communication. Layman here, but I thought it was relatively had science/speculative fiction.

Unfortunately the sound theory of quantum entanglement disallows FTL communication: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No-communication_theorem

Which books, if I may ask?

The Three Body Problem and it's sequels by Liu Cixin. The series is called "Remembrance of Earth's Past".
