Apparently there is nothing to understand
In 1998, researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science, demonstrated that reality shifts depending on the amount of observation, even if the “observer” is a completely non-intrusive device.
By 2008 it was accepted by Science that Objective Reality does not exist. Of course the ancient masters all knew this centuries ago.
In 2012, Dr. Dean Radin conducted well-designed and rigorous scientific experiments that demonstrated to a high probability that 'Conscious Intent' can directly alter Reality in his Double-Slit experiment.
I wouldn't go so far as to say objective reality has been shown not to exist.
