I am agnostic when it comes to string theory. I've studied entanglement to a fair level of depth and while the loopholes are closing, physical explanations for how entanglement fits comfortably with space-time are few. So when I see a respected journal putting forward a possible relationship between Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) pairs and Einstein-Rosen (ER) bridges I'd like to have feedback from others who might understand both sides of this quantum coin better than I do.

Holographic Schwinger Effect and the Geometry of Entanglement - Sonner

http://prl.aps.org/abstract/PRL/v111/i21/e211603

I believe this is a related preprint by Sonner:

The ER = EPR conjecture and the Schwinger Effect

http://arxiv.org/abs/1307.6850

My first question would be: Is there any compelling reason why wormholes (ER) can *not* be related to entanglement?

As a follow-up, I'd be interested in any other areas of research that are focusing on entanglement that seriously addresses the *how* of entanglements bridging vast distances in space.
