Weirdly, the choice made by the experimenters in how to measure the polarisation determined which slit the first photon went through - as if interfering with one particle caused the other to change direction instantaneously. This kind of bizarre phenomenon is exactly what Einstein had in mind when he dubbed it "spooky action". Physicists have seen evidence of it before, but never in such a direct fashion.

I'm no quantum physicist so don't take my theory too seriously but here is how I look at it: the spooky action at a distance happens because the particles are not really two separate things, they are one thing that, in our world (universe, whatever), encounter interference such that they appear to be separate. They're connected "before" they're perceived here, and "after."

Laugh, sure. But it helps me read about this stuff.

Interesting theory and very possibly true. Interesting that you included time as a variable.
