Reply to comment by Devout--Atheist in Quantum philosophy: 4 ways physics will challenge your reality by ADefiniteDescription
I at least hate articles like this because they get latched onto by people who know nothing about physics and then spun into quantum woo to pitch to the gullible (e.g. Deepak Chopra).
Action at a distance is "spooky" because the measurement of a property of one thing affects the likelihood of measurement results on another thing even outside of its light cone. It can't actually send information, though.
Bohr and Einstein weren't arguing about whether the universe exists when you don't look at it, despite how this article makes it sound.
This mostly boils down to "there are no hidden local variables" which /is/ deeply unintuitive, but it doesn't let you make water into weird shapes by being angry or any woo-woo shit.
