The discussion centers on the interpretation of "spooky action at a distance" in quantum entanglement, suggesting that particles may remain connected through a concept referred to as "the fabric of space." This perspective argues that entangled particles are not truly separate, allowing for instantaneous effects between them without invoking the idea of spooky action. Critics emphasize that this view conflicts with established physics and caution against seeking validation for potentially incorrect concepts. The conversation also touches on the need for testable predictions in scientific discourse, highlighting the importance of grounding ideas in empirical evidence. Ultimately, the discussion reflects a blend of speculation and established scientific principles regarding quantum mechanics.

But has anyone so far tried to connect quantum entanglement with Higgs Boson?
If Higgs field/boson (if it exists) is everywhere, it may have an effect on entanglement.

Funny, quantum entanglement is not obviously everywhere - only SOME particles are entangled in a way which can be observed.

OP's idea may not be too far-fetched. Thanks for the links, Bohm, but where is Figure 1?

Figure from linked paper is attached below. I took the OP's argument to be similar to this argument/analogy by that author?
John Bell put forward the locality hypothesis based on the entity consisting of two spin-1/2 particles in the singlet spin state introduced by David Bohm as an example of the Einstein Podolsky Rosen situation. Why do most scientists seem to find this locality hypothesis `natural' for this entity? Because they imagine the entity to be an entity consisting of two spin-1/2 particles located in different and widely separated regions of space and flying in opposite directions. And indeed, for two entities located in widely separated regions of space, with no connection between them, the Bell locality hypothesis is a natural hypothesis to be satisfied. But for two entities that actually form a whole, like the water in the two vessels, it is very easy to violate the Bell locality hypothesis, and hence also the Bell inequalities.
