Hey Rob;
Thanks for that .. a cool summary of some of the experiments!
It co-incides with what I was reading up, on last night.
The last experiment in your link, is the one which characterises the problem, for me.
I was also reading about quantum probability waves, (which seem to be the quantum explanation for all this):
Quote:
according to quantum mechanics, every probability wave extends throughout all of space, throughout the entire universe …
...
so long as the probability wave somewhere in the Andromeda galaxy has a nonzero value, no matter how small, there is a tiny but genuine non-zero chance, that say, a partner entangled electron, could be found there.

So in the last experiment from your link, perhaps the probability wave, (between the entangled photons), also extends to the location of Detector A, thus the relationship, (or connection), IS the probability wave of the photon partner at Detector B.
Pretty tricky explanation, though. It seems both photons are undergoing 'detection' so this influences the outcomes at both location as well. (??)
Cheers
