What is the name of instantaneous communications of quantum particles?

There was a show on TV about quantum physics, I think narrated by Brian Greene. In one part he described instantaneous, faster than light communications between two particles and he named the person that came up with the theory that everything is connected. What was the term he used for this instant communication and what was the name of the person that came up with that connection theory?
Although quantum entanglement is a valid answer to the first part of my question, I?m not sure it?s the correct answer. In the TV program the explanation implied a universal connectiveness by the originator of the theory and some people have tried to use this person?s theory to point to an intelligence at that level. I'm looking for more information about this universal connectiveness, not FTL communications.

Refer to the previous answer - quantum entanglement.

I would just like to add, that contrary to your question, communication cannot be propagated instantaneously - only random, observable interactions, so far - but further study is being done as I write this as to possible applications of this phenomenon. (So far, there's just too many arbitrary factors and "loop holes" in the present theories, however, experiments are ongoing to develop a better understanding.)

Thus far, the speed of light is holding strong as the fastest possible transmission of any communication.

The theory was originally developed in 1900 by Max Planck.
