Well, it's not what I did.

It's what the universe has done because of its strange structure.

I don't know.

So to answer this very good question, what I would say is that if you invoke an additional dimension to move through literally anything, right, then you don't have to follow the rules of physics as they currently exist.

You just add, as long as you can make the math work, you just add a loop or a different travel time of that information.

So your suggestion that quantum entanglement just merely means that there's actually an entanglement that's physical, but it goes through a different dimension to get from one part of the entangled pair to the other part of the entangled pair is a mathematical strategy that can explain a bunch of things.

The only thing is, if you're doing that, then you have to explain what that other dimension is doing, right?

Where is it affecting the rest of the universe in other ways?

Is it true for every entangled particle that they go through the same dimension?

Does it go through a different dimension?

Also, philosophically...

does that mean that there is actually a hidden local thing going on, right?

The idea of quantum entanglement fundamentally is that once you have these two particles or two parts of a pair of an entangled pair separated, or once they've created, it doesn't matter if there's a physical space in between them.

There's nothing connecting them at that moment other than the fact that they were entangled at one point in the past.

And so there is no real way that we can show that that extra dimension is necessary or even effective.

The time, the 223 attoseconds in which quantum entanglement occurs that you quoted is a very cool experimental result.

It needs to be further confirmed and things like that.

But the idea is that it doesn't give us

a lot of insight as to whether or not another dimension is necessary.

At the moment, we probably don't want to go in that direction yet.
