Quantum Mechanics
Quantum mechanics dictates that it's impossible to know the spin a quantum property of individual particles prior to measurement. When Alice measures one of her particles, she finds the spin to either be up or down. Her results are random, and yet when she measures up, she instantly knows Bob's corresponding particle must be down. These particles don't have qualities prior to measurement according to quantum physics. You can see why this would bother Einstein. He believed we lived in a deterministic, sensical universe.
