[ExI] wormholes vs. nonlocal correlation

It is known that wormholes could in principle be used as time
machines; by moving one end of the hole at relativistic speeds and
then returning it to its place of departure, the mouths would be in
much the same place at two different times. I wonder if quantum
nonlocality also implies interesting contortions with time? If one
entangled particle is idled (inside a cold sodium or silicon trap
that slows it to near immobility)# while the other moves off in
vacuum at c, could this lead to any peculiar time-twisting possibilities?
