Is their any layman's physics explanation of how this works? Obviously you can't transmit information, but one particle can affect the other at distance faster than the speed of light?

My sense was that quantum physics basically makes sense if you go really small and have an understanding of how the particles interact. But entanglement is weird, because somehow there's also a mechanism for them to interact at distance?

(I know, I could try to look it up, but hopefully other people here have the same silly question)
