Everyone keeps coming back to this point, but I maintain that just because there’s no way that we know of (or that makes sense in the framework of our understanding) for information to travel between the two, it absolutely does not mean information _did not_ travel between the two. It’s the simpler explanation, if you don’t let hubris get in the way.

It's more than that. It can be shown that information could not travel between 2 points provably, so it's not like we're missing some communication method. We can show there is no intermediate communication method.

See the MIT introduction lecture on Quantum Physics:

I believe the experiment where this is shown is lecture 1, possibly 2. It's been awhile since I watched this but a great source of information.

To further clarify, any communication would have to be superluminal. Sure there are people who claim that there's some unobservable superluminal background to the universe that makes non-local hidden variable theories possible but I don't know that I'd call that the simpler explanation.

I was thinking more along the lines of undetected hyper surfaces or wormholes.
