Easy, the particles are correlated at birth. *they* know what their orientation is, it is fixed at birth. The math says *we* don't know. No. Bell's inequality tells us that there are no hidden variables. It's not that we don't know the value of the measureable prior to wavefunction

But in the end, as strange and unreasonable as this action-at-a-distance may be, it's now regularly seen in the laboratory. (Even wierder are the 'quantum eraser' and other bizarre behaviors). Is there any practical way to translate this into doll-and-needles method of punishing modelled
