Yeah, you're right. The ansibles in the Ender's books are based on "philotic twining". They say that all matter is composed of philotes (sub-quark level afaik), and these philotes can be "twined" together, and they will act as one instantly accross any distance. They do a hell of a lot more, but I won't spoil anything :)
