Einstein did not like some of the predictions made by Quantum Mechanics (QM). Some of the predictions turned classical physics on its head and made outlandish sounding claims. In 1935 Einstein published a paper (authored with other physics luminaries) that came out against the functions that were labeled by Einstein as “spooky action at a distance”.
In 2022 three physicists received Nobel Prizes for repudiating Einstein’s claims and proving that when you have entangled particles they communicate with each other at faster than the speed of light!
