   The very fact that we can see this time reversal in the theory, together   
   with the fact that these processes cannot be used to send information   
   faster than light, is a good reason to think that there is no action at   
   a distance, spooky or otherwise. In particular, the time reversal   
   immediately raises the question of who is the actor, and who the actee[*]   
      
   Quantum mechanics tells us what results we'll get. It doesn't say   
   anything about how it works, and popular science descriptions are   
   usually just misleading.
