Here is an interesting Video that support the point,
Humans are the Co-Creator of Reality They are In and the reality they talk about.
In a way, humans are also the co-creator of moral reality they talked about.

Professor Jim Al-Khalili traces the story of arguably the most important, accurate and yet perplexing scientific theory ever - quantum physics.
'Quantum physics' is NOT 'perplexing'. The only 'perplexing' thing is human being's interpretations, of
what IS ACTUALLY REAL.

The story starts at the beginning of the 20th century with scientists trying to better understand how light bulbs work. This simple question led them deep into the hidden workings of matter, into the sub-atomic building blocks of the world around us. Here they discovered phenomena unlike any encountered before
Well if one has never been deep into some 'thing' previously, then, obviously, they will discover phenomena unlike any encountered before. For example, if one has never been deep into the, so called, "hidden" workings of the Mind and the brain, then, obviously, they will discover phenomena unlike any encountered before. This will be a PROVEN FACT when 'you', human beings, actually BEGIN to delve into the workings of thee Mind, and the brain.

- a realm where things can be in many places at once,
Is this a PROVEN FACT, or just an ASSUMPTION?
If it is alleged to be a PROVEN FACT, then how do these human beings KNOW that what they PERCEIVE to be the EXACT SAME thing in many places is i IN FACT the EXACT SAME 'thing'?
Obviously, we can say; 'Things can be in many places at once', because, obviously, there are airplanes, for example, in many places at once. But just as obvious is the fact that these airplanes are NOT the EXACT SAME airplane.
So, if ANY one was to suggest that there are 'things' [sub-atomic particles] in many places at once, then I would say, 'OBVIOUSLY'. Now, if they were to suggest that the EXACT SAME 'particle' can be in many places at once, then I would just ask them the CLARIFYING QUESTION, 'How do 'you' KNOW?'
Do these people who would suggest such a thing imply that they could tell the ACTUAL DIFFERENCE between each and every quark or electron?
If yes, then HOW could they tell the DIFFERENCE?

where chance and probability call the shots and where reality appears to only truly exist when we observe it.
Chance and probability do NOT "call the shots". Chance and probability only exist because human beings do NOT LOOK AT the WHOLE picture. If they did LOOK AT the WHOLE picture, then they could and would be able to SEE what thee ACTUAL Truth IS.
A 'concept' of 'Reality' only truly exists when 'we' observe it because without 'us' 'Reality' JUST IS.
'Reality' APPEARS only to those who are CONCEIVING 'It'. Understand who and what 'we' Truly IS, then this becomes MUCH CLEARER.
'Reality', that is;
What IS REAL Truly exists HERE-NOW, forever and eternal.

Albert Einstein hated the idea that nature, at its most fundamental level, is governed by chance.
So what?
Many human beings hate many things but this is NO WAY has ANY bearing AT ALL on what is True and Real.

Jim reveals how, in the 1930s, Einstein thought he had found a fatal flaw in quantum physics, because it implies that sub-atomic particles can communicate faster than light in defiance of the theory of relativity.
So, the, so called, "flaw" in one's theory is solely because that theory opposes another theory. The ridiculousness, and flaw, of this conclusion, I hope, does NOT need pointing out.

For 30 years, his ideas were ignored. Then, in the 1960s, a brilliant scientist from Northern Ireland called John Bell showed there was a way to test if Einstein was right and quantum mechanics was actually mistaken. In a laboratory in Oxford, Jim repeats this critical experiment. Does reality really exist or do we conjure it into existence by the act of observation?
First, define the word 'reality'.
Second, come to an agreement and acceptance of that definition.
Thirdly, it will be CLEARLY OBVIOUS if that 'word', defined by that agreed upon and accepted definition, exists or not.
By the way, what is the difference between 'really exists' and just plain old 'exists'?
Fourthly, the answer to the question; 'Does 'reality' really exist or do 'we' conjure 'reality' into existence, by the act of 'observation' or by the act of 'doing/creating', or by BOTH'? can be and will be answered, VERY SIMPLY AND VERY EASILY.
Thee ANSWER is EXTREMELY OBVIOUS once one learns and KNOWS who and what thee Observer ACTUALLY IS, and what 'Reality', really, IS.

He stated,
"In some strange sense, it really does suggest the moon doesn't exists when we are not looking. It truly defies common sense."
In way, humans are the co-creator of the reality and the moral reality they are in and talked about.
The above video also exposed Peter Holmes' idea of 'what is fact', i.e. there are objective facts as real features of reality independent of the human conditions.
There are no fact-in-itself.
As I had asserted what-is-fact is conditioned upon its specific Framework and System of Reality which existence is dependent on the convergence of human minds.
But 'you' do NOT even KNOW what the 'human mind' is, correct?

As such there are moral facts that are conditioned and justified [empirically and philosophically] upon its specific Framework and System.
The video is worth viewing and it will give one a sense of what reality really is.
How about 'you' just tell us, in your OWN words, what "reality really is"?
