From Elise Crull at Aeon:
The problem is that entanglement violates how the world ought to work. Information can’t travel faster than the speed of light, for one. But in a 1935 paper, Einstein and his co-authors showed how entanglement leads to what’s now called quantum nonlocality, the eerie link that appears to exist between entangled particles. If two quantum systems meet and then separate, even across a distance of thousands of lightyears, it becomes impossible to measure the features of one system (such as its position, momentum and polarity) without instantly steering the other into a corresponding state.
Up to today, most experiments have tested entanglement over spatial gaps. The assumption is that the ‘nonlocal’ part of quantum nonlocality refers to the entanglement of properties across space. But what if entanglement also occurs across time? Is there such a thing as temporal nonlocality?
The answer, as it turns out, is yes. Just when you thought quantum mechanics couldn’t get any weirder, a team of physicists at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem reported in 2013 that they had successfully entangled photons that never coexisted. More.

as to this comment from the article:
It is interesting to note that this experiment confirms Dr. Egnor’s (Theistic) contention (via Aristotle) that Perception at a distance is no more inconceivable than action at a distance.
And this finding refutes Dr Torley’s contention against Dr Egnor that perception cannot possibly occur ‘at a distance’, for example, at a Supernova which we know no longer exists:
Thus, chalk one up for Aristotle, and his Theistic presuppositions, for anticipating Quantum mechanics thousands of years before it was discovered. (And thank you Dr. Egnor for pointing this ‘prediction’ of Aristotle out)
