If one passes a particle through a grating, and collects/constrains a pair of particles that exit the grating, then moves the first of the constained pair of particles 1 ly away from the second, then forces some characteristic of the "local" member of the pair of particles, say the spin, to a specific state/sense, then (someone) measures the spin of the second (distant) particle of the pair some short period of time later (a period significantly less than 1 year). Will the two spins be found to be of the same sense? What will be found if this experiment is repeated a large number of times, by having passed through the grating, and collected, a large number of particles and particle pairs, in the first place?
