If I had any guess, I would assume it's related to quantum physics.

For example, imagine an electron (horrible way to start, I know). It is impossible to say where an electron is, because it literally can be anywhere anytime. However, in the immediate vicinity of the core of the atom it 'belongs' to, the possibility of it being there is much higher than, say, a few thousand lightyears away.

It's probably something completely different, but it might give you a push in the right direction.
