Let's use heads and tails for simplification. It is my understanding that as soon as we observe one entangled particle as heads then the other entangled particle must be tails.
Suppose that before I leave for Mars, I take one entangled particle with me and leave the other one here with you.
We agree that I'll observe my particle once I've found a certain mountain on Mars. I find the mountain and observe heads. At that moment your particle must be tails.
Is the problem that you can't know when your particle becomes tails because you'd have to be monitoring it the whole time to know that? In other words, the second you start monitoring your particle then they are dis-entangled?
