The idea that information can travel across the universe instantaneously is called action at a distance 信息能瞬时通过宇宙传播的这个思想被称为超距作用。

Einstein and many other scientists were troubled by action at a distance because it means that some information can travel faster than light 爱因斯坦和其他很多科学家都被超距作用所困扰，因为它意味着信息可以传播得比光还快。

The explanation for this “ spooky action at a distance ” ( to borrow a term from quantum mechanics ) is that a grid of wires underneath the screen emits an electromagnetic field that causes a coil inside the pen to oscillate at a resonant frequency 这种幽灵似的超距作用（从量子力学借来的术语） ，是因为萤幕下方的栅极线路会发出电磁场，让专用笔内部的线圈以某个共振频率振荡。
