Nah, Einstein was just flat out wrong. He realized that toward the end of his life. The EinsteinPodolskyRosen paradox is a great thought experiment but was shown to not be a paradox at all. As it turns out, things at the scale of the very large and the very small just don't play by rules which are intuitive for us, because we don't really operate at those scales ourselves. Which is a very useful lesson on the limits of intuition and so-called common sense. Great for coming up with ideas to test, really bad for relying on.
