Spooky action at a distance

I read an article about Einstein's theory about quantum entanglement and what he calls "spooky action at a distance" where two atoms are are in sync no matter if they were next to each other or across the world, and the change in one particle could change the properties of the other particle it was in sync with no matter how far away it was.

I'm not too sure I understood it entirely, but I enjoy that there is room for randomness and 'spontaneity' in science and that the world still remains a mystery.
