What if entangled quantum particles are actually one particle at different points on its timeeline? Maybe quantum particles are trapped in an eternal loop where they experience the same things over and over, particle A goes back in time to become particle B, which then becomes particle C, and so on until it goes back ot being particle A.
Assuming the particle has a "memory", that would explain why changes made to one affects the others, because they would "remember" what happened to them in former states.
