Can object "A" have an immediate effect on object "B" when they are light years apart?

Yes. Look up: Quantum Entanglement!

if their is an unknown form of energy as yet undiscovered it could be possible but it seems unlikely at this point in time .
As Eisnstein believed the speed of light is the top governing factor and light years take time .I would say with what I know presently the answer is no .

Bull... any scientist can answer that question... the answer is yes and no.
If you are talking light, then no because light only travels so fast. If you are talking particles, then possibly as atoms, and even quarks, are displaced by the action.

Yes, if a given path between them is light years apart, you didnt specify the that the shortest path had to be lightyears apart :)

Dear Julia,
Unless chance finds us face to face again, this is the last you'll hear from me. I spent this Sunday, long afternoon, freezing at my friend's house by the sea...

Yes, but only on the quantum scale. If two particles are "entangled" and you change the state of one (e.g. the spin of one) the other particle will be instantly effected.

i believe that it could if you believe in something somewhat like the 4th dimensional theory or w/e it's called. time and space isn't something that scientists have gotten down pat just yet, so you'll have to wait for a more definite answer probably.

Well the Milky Way is pulling on Andromeda so I would say yes.

Yes (theoretically), by means of quantum entanglement.

Well..yes..
if the effect can travel in lightyears.
