What does the universe being not locally real mean?

549 views

I just saw a comment that linked to an article explaining how Nobel prize winners recently discovered the universe is not locally real. My brain isn’t functioning properly today, so can someone please help me understand what this means?

An analogy- the universe is kind of like a soup. When you dip your spoon in it, you probably have a great idea of what is going to end up on your spoon, but you can’t know for sure because stuff is kind of swirling around and floating in there. People thought it was really a poke bowl where the rice and veggiea and fish are all just sitting there so if you know where to put your spoon, you know exactly what you would get on it. Scientists proved that it really is soup not poke.
