    Einstein called quantum entanglement “spooky action at a distance” so you’re in good company.

    Interestingly, when Newton published his Universal Gravitation theory, it was considered as spooky as quantum physics is nowadays. It broke away with the Mechanical philosophy of the day that saw the natural world as a series of direct cause-effect interactions. Even Newton disliked the implications of UG and tried to make them for, unsuccessfully, into Mechanical philosophy.
