Quantum physicists: "We need non-contextual realism."
Bell, Kochen, and Specker: *mathematically prove this is impossible*
Physicists looking at their shattered worldview: "Fine. Reality is contextual."
The Bell-KS theorem basically destroyed the dream that particles have definite properties independent of measurement. Your electron doesn't "decide" its spin until someone looks at it. It's like your teenager's room only becomes messy when you open the door.
