Spooky Action Not So Spooky?

It's occurred to me that quantum entanglement's so-called "spooky action at a distance" could be explained if the entangled particles are actually not "at a distance". That is, that there is a "0th dimension" - possibly the size of the whole universe - in which all matter is at a single point.

Has anyone explored this concept?

I am not aware of that as a theory, in fact I am not sure that it is meaningful as a coherent theory at all, but at the same time I feel a certain affinity for it, because when I first read of the Bell-Inequality/Aspect experients, I practically came unglued. It took me about 18 months to recover by as yet undescribed dimensions, during which it occurred to me to question the concept of locality.

Afterwards I discovered that some physicists had had the same idea, though I suspect the concept of locality that they used was a bit more specific than mine.

But I leave you with the thought of just how you would describe the concept of locality, how you would determine and demonstrate that any event happened at any given place, and how long it would take for anything to happen at such a place...

Did Your "occurence" include some equations or other

things to test by physical means?

If Yes, sent them to some blog, where the right scientists

write. Some of them will respond.

I personally do not "believe" in a lot of the wild theories

en vogue today, and some "ocurrence" of an, excuse the

flatnes, nobody is nothing I take serious.
