	There are other explanations.

	Actually, not with the current scientific paradigm. The current
scientific paradigm requires the removal, as far as is possible, from
the factor of consciousness entering any experiment, which more or less
guarantees that scientists will never find it.

	In any case, the current popular explanation is that when action is
taken against the first particle, another is created moving backwards in
time, back to the creation of the two particles, and that is what causes
the 2nd particle to change.
