In the past few years I have spent time philosophizing on the meaning within the findings of the double-slit experiment; The act of observing the electrons to determine which slit they pass through, changes their behavior from dualistic wave/particles to simple particles. Your observation of reality changes reality.
This has particular meaning to me as after some 'ET' encounters years ago, I was gifted with a few precognitive visions - some data that most humans don't have, and an increasing awareness of synchronicities. I was a volunteer, I "signed on", and have been given some access to information that ultimately led me down this path to fully accepting that our "soul" is not tethered or unique to this 3-Dimensional construct. The true nature of this construct eludes me; but every time I begin to doubt, I am given another prescient vision to set my mind at ease that while I don't know much, at least I'm not crazy.
My ultimate conclusion is that the only "morality" we have is tied to the exercise of our will over others. The net effect of our actions is purely how much of our will did we exercise, and how much did we impede on the will of others. I have developed this into a belief that lying and deception are indeed an act of destroying another's will - because it is destroying their ability to comprehend the truth of the reality we live in.
The most recent example of a synchronicity, while not really a "prescient vision" - was the other night when I wrote this:

A few hours later I decided to watch a movie. I scanned for good streams, and found the movie "Captain Fantastic". This very movie, which I knew absolutely nothing about - happened to be exactly relevant to my current moral struggle about mans animal nature and the ills of society. But what blew me away, within the first 20 minutes, was their mention of living like "Philosopher Kings". Something I had just written about a few hours before and a concept which I had not considered in conscious memory.
Some things are just coincidences, but I find that coincidences occur more and more often, ever since 2012, and definitely to the tune of that old song that goes: "You can't always get what you want.. But you get what you need."

Declaring that quantum uncertainty means 'reality is subjective' is exactly what the Wikipedia page meant by 'endless speculations.'
Relativity and quantum effects may be strange and counterintuitive to macro-based reality, but that doesn't mean reality is subjective by any stretch of the imagination.
For example - by constructing specific situations and moving at significant percentages of lightspeed, it's possible for two observers to record a very different reality than others. They might disagree about the times of certain events, or they might even disagree about whether events A and B occurred before or after each other! But they will never disagree about the universe's causality. No amount of relativistic motion or gravitational lensing will make the statement "Event A was caused by B" appear false, to any observers.
Just because these things are bizarre and strange doesn't mean they're an explanation for anything.
