Physicists have accomplished a major breakthrough in quantum mechanics by closing the last local realistic loophole for entangled photons. This research is significant as it provides further evidence for the non-local nature of quantum entanglement.
The principle of local realism suggests that physical properties of objects exist independently of observation, and quantum entanglement is often in conflict with this principle. Entanglement occurs when two particles become intertwined and share correlated states, meaning that the measurements carried out on one particle instantaneously affect the state of the other, regardless of distance.
“Local realism” is a world view in which the properties of physical objects exist independent of whether or not they are observed by anyone (realism) and in which no physical influence can propagate faster than the speed of light (locality).
In 1964, in one of the most important works in the history of the foundations of quantum theory, the Irish physicist John Bell proved theoretically that local realism is in contradiction with the predictions of quantum mechanics, and that the decision between these philosophically so radically different world views can be made by experiment.
Quantum entanglement – a term coined by the Austrian physicist Erwin Schrââdinger – means that neither photon taken by itself has a definite polarisation but that, if one party measures the polarisation of its photon and obtains a random result, the other photon will always show a perfectly correlated polarisation. Albert Einstein called this strange effect “spooky action at a distance.”…http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/04/130415094839.htm
I experienced some spooky action at a distance. A bottle of soap began rocking on its own near my kitchen sink. No breeze, no earthquake. I was about 5 ft away. The only thing that makes sense is that the slow moving soap from the top took a while to settle and after a certain balance point was reached, it started rocking.
I’ve had a key fly off of the wall in this very same room. The guy who installed the locks and had that key made had recently died in a car crash. The key was hanging on a sign that says, “life is what happens when you are busy making other plans.”
Soap. Dish soap. Could be a clue …
I’m still not sure of the message many years later in 2023, but it seems now that the universe wanted to give me that sign, perhaps fair warning, that life would not be what I expected. That turned out to be true.

I’ll have to do some reading, but the usual exoerements you see don’t dissalow that randomness from being set at the point of entanglement. or indeed a kind of duality.
Personally i’m of the belief that space it just one thing, a single unit if you like and the opposite of matter. the latter being a lack of space. This creates lots of nice things like gravity, relativity and dark energy for unstance.
