My interpretation is that the common source of the photons did equip both
with respective states (or a superposition of such) which can be thought of
as saying "if measured this way, behave that way, etc."
No surprise those measurements turn out to be coinciding.
If you do equip several people with identical flyers, they may well publish
those simultaneously at several distant places, virtually exceeding the
maximum speed of travelling of flyers.
(I'd be grateful though for pointers to actual experimental data showing
I happened to miss the point. Browsing www.cern.ch didn't lead to anything
substantial so far. What's the name of that experiment? (Cc: poster as well,
please, as I don't trust our expire very much.))
Ciao,
