Does time "stopping" at c explain spooky action at a distance?

My thinking is this:
We know that two interacting photons will adjust their spins relative to each other.
We know that if one of these photons change their spin at some time in the 'future', the other photon will instantaneously adjust it's spin relative to the original photon.
Since photons travel at c, at which speed time doesn't 'move', isn't is possible that the two photons are effectively still interacting or continuously interacting with each other?

Opinion: time does not "move" in the first place. Material objects in a real universe move and in order to describe the movement we need the concept of time.
When time "stops"...it is not being stopped by anything..what you are effectively saying is that "point" where there is no motion in the universe.
What about light waves themselves? Their motion is unique in the universe..their speed is not relative to anything...as are material objects in the universe that produce events in our universe.
Note: photons could have a "pre-ordained" relationship to each other...the future "entanglement" could be the result of a former relationship.

I think he means to say that in the Minowski metric equation

c2dT2=c2dt2+dx2 , where dx2 is in the direction of motion,

as dx2->c2dT2, dt2->0 , so any amount of proper time corresponds to zero coordinate time, seem from an observer moving slower than c.

No. The experiment is done in lab frame, and it is in this frame that we detect the non-locality effect, NOT in the photon's frame.

Can you explain this phenomena in detail please? It may help others who read this thread and it would seem that it greatly applies to the work I'm doing. You say that one photon will spin in relation to another, at what distance is this observed? And what do you mean by a future spin, if they spin up at the same time does that imply any effect on time or affected by time?

Thread 'Can this experiment break Lorentz symmetry?'
1. The Big Idea: According to Einstein’s relativity, all motion is relative. You can’t tell if you’re moving at a constant velocity without looking outside. But what if there is a universal “rest frame” (like the old idea of the “ether”)? This experiment tries to find out by looking for tiny, directional differences in how objects move inside a sealed box. 2. How It Works: The Two-Stage Process Imagine a perfectly isolated spacecraft (our lab) moving through space at some unknown speed V...
Does the speed of light change in a gravitational field depending on whether the direction of travel is parallel to the field, or perpendicular to the field? And is it the same in both directions at each orientation? This question could be answered experimentally to some degree of accuracy. Experiment design: Place two identical clocks A and B on the circumference of a wheel at opposite ends of the diameter of length L. The wheel is positioned upright, i.e., perpendicular to the ground...
According to the General Theory of Relativity, time does not pass on a black hole, which means that processes they don't work either. As the object becomes heavier, the speed of matter falling on it for an observer on Earth will first increase, and then slow down, due to the effect of time dilation. And then it will stop altogether. As a result, we will not get a black hole, since the critical mass will not be reached. Although the object will continue to attract matter, it will not be a...
