Is Stephen Hawking smarter than Einstein?? See details.?

Einstein called quantum entanglement "spooky action at a distance" Hawking tries to explain the nature of reality by experiments in which the outcome probably depends on the observer of the experiment. If the information paradox suggested by Hawking is indeed a paradox then it puts everthing back to spooky action at a distance .......... does it not? I could explain further about the relevance of the information paradox to quantum entanglement but then I would have to rephrase the question.
