Just like this invisible magnetic field, quantum field theory envisages the universe made up of interacting fields of different particles. Different types of particles are associated with different fields, e.g. the electron field is associated with electrons, the photon field is associated with photons, and the Higgs field is associated with the Higgs boson. Like in a gravitation field the effect on any object in the field is instantaneous no matter the distance, two quantum entangled particles behave in tandem no matter the distance between them.
