The Reality of Local Reality
July 2025

For this meeting, we'll be talking about the concept of local reality. Recently (in 2022), three people won the Nobel Prize for demonstrating that the universe is not locally real. WTF?

Below are some videos and articles. There's overlap between them, but that repetition can be helpful. There are a lot of videos out there that use the same analogies repeatedly. If any of these don't work for you, please feel free to explore on your own and report back!
