Is it true that Einstein called quantum entanglement spooky action at a distance?
Yes. Multiple reference and peer-reviewed sources state that Einstein called quantum entanglement 'spooky action at a distance' (spukhafte Fernwirkung). The attribution is consistent across encyclopedias, NASA, and academic texts.
