If it were merely "showing information about a distant particle" it would be some variety of a hidden variables theory.
Hidden variables theories can be distinguished from others by Bell's inequality.
The Aspect experiments demonstrated that Bell's inequality holds in real life.
- zmgsabst 3y agoBell’s inequality only rules out local hidden variables. But entanglement and related things like anyons are fundamentally non-local. Anyonic braiding in particular suggests that reality is non-local. AdS/CFT suggests that non-locality (rather than non-determinism) may be the correct solution to resolving the behavior of QM; and more neatly fits with relativity than non-deterministic theories. The article itself starts off correctly saying local realism, but then makes an extraneous assumption that realism rather than locality is incorrect — but that’s not supported by evidence.
