Consider a tank full of water with transparent walls and two television cameras at right angles to each other. Suppose further that the two cameras are transmitting images to two screens correspondingly which are placed in another room.
What will be seen is a certain relationship between the images appearing on the two screens. They will generally look different but will be related.
The images refer to a single actuality, which is of higher dimension than are the separate images on the screens. In other words, the images are projections from a higher-dimensional reality.
Quantum entanglement, or the property of non-locality of particles, which modern physics has failed to explain, can easily be understood with the analogy described above.
Just as each image of a fish appears different on the screen, but refers to a single instance, so do two quantum entangled particles siting at different corners of the universe may appear separate, but they are actually just two abstractions of the same thing.

Quantum particles can act as particles located in a single place, or they can act as waves that are distributed all over space or in several places at once.
How they appear seems to depend on how we choose to measure them. Before we measure, they seem to have no apparent p...
Any proposed theory of quantum gravity would need to take care of the principles of locality, which state that any variable can change independently while measuring the properties of any point in space-time. These variables are called the degrees of freedom.
