Fields are not nonlocal.
Interactions in a field propagate at the speed of light or force-carrying particles.
This is one of Eintein's major contributions to physics, that nothing travels faster than light.
- snarfy 8y agoI guess I'm arguing it's more a change of the field, not something propagating in it. Faster than light restrictions do not apply to space itself which, e.g. can expand faster than light. The electric field is a property of space. It's strength and properties do not depend on spacial coordinate. When two particles are entangled, maybe instead the field is 'twisted/warped' at those particles. Entangling particles alters the field, not the particles.
