(PhysOrg.com) -- Local realism is something we live with every day, even if we don`t realize it. The principle of local realism combines two assumptions: locality and realism. Locality says that distant objects cannot directly and instantaneously influence each other (since nothing can travel faster than the speed of light). Realism says that the things we measure and sense are indeed really there apart from our measurements, and it`s not just our measurements that make them exist.
