New Theories / Re: Spooky action proves extra dimensions?

Thank you for your insightful comments and questions regarding my previous post on entanglement and "spooky action at a distance." I greatly appreciate your perspective and the opportunity to clarify some key points.
Information Transfer: You're absolutely right to point out that entangled particles don't transmit information in the traditional sense. The phenomenon reveals a pre-existing correlation, not an actual exchange of data. Imagine flipping two coins simultaneously, miles apart. If they always land on opposite sides, it doesn't imply communication, but a fascinating connection. Similarly, entanglement showcases this inherent "coin flip" without any information transfer occurring.
Dimensional Perspective: The proposed alternative dimension wouldn't be a spatial or temporal dimension in the classical sense. Think of it as a hidden network woven into the fabric of our familiar spacetime. Entangled particles, despite physical separation, might be connected through this network, allowing them to "speak" to each other instantaneously.
Timeless Dimension: The suggestion isn't about time being absent, but about a different mode of existence outside its limitations. Think of it like two entangled particles existing in a timeless plane, where distance and the flow of time don't matter. They remain connected in this state, regardless of where they are in our spacetime.
Transcendence of Time: Instead of "impossible things happening," the idea is that a timeless dimension could explain entanglement's behavior within the framework of existing quantum concepts. For example, entangled particles can exhibit superposition, existing in multiple states simultaneously. A timeless dimension could offer a potential explanation for how this simultaneous existence works across vast distances.
Theory vs. Hypothesis: You're correct that calling it a theory at this stage might be premature. It's currently a hypothesis, based on current observations and potential explanations for entanglement. While conclusive evidence is still lacking, it offers a framework for further exploration and experimentation.
I value your critique and hope this clarifies my ideas. Open discussion and critical analysis are crucial for scientific progress, and I appreciate your contribution to refining my understanding of this complex phenomenon. I believe further research in this area holds immense potential for unlocking new perspectives on the nature of our universe and the mysteries of quantum mechanics.
