Beyond space and time to cope with quantum theory?

If my understanding is not fundamentally off (and I recognise it could be) this, Researchers look beyond space and time to cope with quantum theory | e! Science News could give comfort to the idea of the holographic universe:

The remaining option is to accept that influences must be infinitely fast -- or that there exists some process that has an equivalent effect when viewed in our spacetime. The current test couldn't distinguish. Either way, it would mean that the Universe is fundamentally nonlocal, in the sense that every bit of the Universe can be connected to any other bit anywhere, instantly. That such connections are possible defies our everyday intuition and represents another extreme solution, but arguably preferable to faster-than-light communication.

Though there may be other reasons not to like the holographic universe idea -but I'm not up on that.
