What would happen if there were a creature with a brain so large that its brain was the size of an entire planet or galaxy? But at the same time, its brain was even more efficient with its use of neurons than a human brain?

Who says the Galaxy isn't a brain?

I imagine the thing would be pretty useless if it was the size of a galaxy. The impulse from a neuron firing can only go as fast as the speed of light. It might take years for one impulse to reach is destination.

Is it possible to use that quantum physics concept of non-locality that happens when two atoms collide to transfer information faster?

No. Nothing in QM can transfer information faster than light.

a galaxy seems just unrealistic. information cannot travel faster than light, so you'd be working with years of delays

It can't, it's like the speed of light, there is a limit and we are the limit.

I was just about to ask this question.
OP I think we are connected.
Either way I wondered, it has to be able to think more complex things, but it would also be slower right? Since shit had to travel further.

The experience of time is relative so a year to a galaxy brain might feel like a millisecond

That’s some arrogance. We are not the limit. The limit is somewhere between us and moon sized brain being

The brain isn't just a big pile of neurons, it's the way they're all organized that makes it peculiar
Having a moon-sized brain would just result in a giant slab of meat crippled with seizures
