A question about quantum entanglement

[BadgerBadger92]

How do a pair of particles via entanglement “know” what the other particle is doing? Any help is appreciated.

There is no consciousness here (I would argue). The entangled particle are correlated.

I am curious about other peoples theories of how they remain correlated even when separated by billions of miles. Most of what I have read just says, they act "as one particle". But, this is not satisfying to me because typically part of one particle is proximate to each other (locality).

One thought I came up with (but, perhaps others have too) is the entangled particles retain their relationship to their underlying quantum field. As a result, they remain correlated even when separated by billions of miles.

But, if there is research into this that throws additional light, I am interested too.
