This is one of those concepts I understand after watching a lecture video and awe in disbelief and forget everything the next minute

It's really hard to understand something when the majority of people trying to explain it don't understand it either.

I am not sure if there is even a single person who truly understands it.

How did they add the second beam splitter faster than the speed of light?

Quite right. They only managed that recently: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheeler%27s_delayed-choice_experiment#Interferometer_in_the_lab

Thank you. Interesting. But could it not mean that our perception of "pre" and "post" x is wrong ? Perhaps time loops and wobbles or is 1/2

There are all kinds of explanations. Including the infamous Pilot Wave. But this experiment seems to prove there is no such thing as reality

There is only a reality for you the observer, and that same reality doesn't apply anywhere else. Google 'Wigner's Friend' for more info.
