Imagine you haveประก two particles, A and B. You separate them, and they become correlated. Now, measure A, and instantly, B's state collapses. But here's the kicker: B's stateประก was never really determined until you measured A. It's like the universe was all, "Oh, you're paying attention? Well, I guess I'll just have to decide now."
