ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

spooky action at a distance

Spooky action at a distance is a strange type of connection between two objects or particles that are very far away from each other. Scientists can't explain how it happens, but it seems like the two objects influence each other in some way even if they're a million miles apart. It's like two magnets that can feel each other even when they are far away - when one magnet moves, the other one moves too, as if they were connected!
