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?

Locally real means that things have a property even when not being observed and locally means can only be affected by whatever is immediately around them.

The discovery is that particle don’t have definite spin-up or spin-down properties until they are observed. Which in turn means an objects property can be changed simply by being observed.
