if there are two entangled particles
one of them is flying 80% the speed of light , one of them is on Earth for instance
if we measure the one on Earth , would it the entanglement affect the other particle after sometime * due to time slowing down for speeding up particle * or does it happen instantaneously ?
if the later is true wouldn't that mean that time is not relative ?
or you can take it the other way , if the speeding one at 2 o'clock for instance
would the entanglement appear instantaneously or would it take sometime to appear due to time is slower in the speeding up particle ? so if it takes a second to measure it on the speeding up particle it would take an hour for instance to happen on earth

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
