The trick is to talk in terms of communicating information faster than the speed of light. Both relativity and quantum theories agree that there's no communication of information faster than the speed of light. Two wave-functions collapsing to opposite states lightyears away doesn't actually allow two people to communicate in an FTL way.

This is precisely why the experiment was proposed, to show this conflict in our understanding of the constraints.

That's how I mentally think about entanglement. I doesn't need to operate through the universe as I understand (or operate within) it.
