I've read somewhat about the matter but can't quite picture it. Is this a property that only applies at the quantum level and not the classical level like us?

So far I've seen some rather strange takes on what it means. Some suggesting the moon doesn't exist unless observed, some saying that it implies consciousness is fundamental (though that comes up every time something new in quantum physics gets announced), others saying that stuff isn't real unless observed, and more than that some say it's evidence of anti-realism. It seems like trying to get to the bottom of it all is more work than understanding the subject.

From what I read it means that quantum particles don't have to be close to each other to impact each other once they are entangled. Furthermore, the realism implies they have definite properties before observation, but it's more like that they are slot machines that spit out a result when observed. Does this mean conscious observation or just stuff interacting with each other? Is there any cause for concern for me at the classical level or is this just cool applications for computing by being able to beam info across gaps in an instant?

I'm struggling to grasp what it means.
