Can quantum entanglement be a proof of a 4th spatial dimension?


What I know about quantum entanglement is almost nothing. What I know can be resumed to: "two particles created together have a correlated behaviour no matter the distance between them".


This is often interpreted as a faster-than-light phenomenon because it is instantaneous.


But let's consider a 4th spatial dimension (we then have x,y,z,w)



  • 2 particles are created in the point x=0,y=0,z=0,w=0


  • Those 2 particles move apart in the 3D space such as:


Particle 1 is @ x1,y1,z1,w and Particle 2 is @ x2,y2,z2,w


Note that they are at the same w coordinate.


Can this be an explanation for the fact that the correlation is instantaneous?


I am not considering that this is a revolutionary thing. I am sure that a lot o people already thought about this, but I want to understand it better.
