As I understand it, some quantum details making up the universe around us are not determined "there" until they need to be in order to interact with the larger whole. By the act of trying to detect and record such details we cause them to become "there"...much like when one goes to a new area in a computer game world one causes the computer to load up that game area.

This even seems to apply to things that happened in the past. We can make particles behave differently in the past by how we measure in the present...as if the past had not been written yet.

Important to remember, this only applies to particular things in particular before they become to involved in the rest of the working universe. Its as if the universe were a simulation where certain details do not need to be determined until they are needed...even details about the past.
