Quantum entanglement means that the state of particles is distributed across space, making it non-local. This suggests that spacetime might not be necessary for managing these states, leading some scientists to explore the idea that spacetime could be an emergent property rather than a fundamental one. Since spacetime is a mathematical model and we haven't yet proven its existence, it makes sense that entanglement is non-local.
Regarding the idea of a particle entangled with every other particle in the universe, it's important to clarify that entanglement doesn't allow one particle to control the state of another. Entanglement means that the states of particles are correlated, but it doesn't imply any form of control or influence over the other particles. This is a common misconception, but current scientific understanding does not support the idea of a single particle controlling the universe through entanglement.
