Basically, it means that if something is affected, it will react, and if affected inversely, it will react inversely. This applies to electromagnetism and strong interaction, which is the force that keeps atoms together.

Wu proved this does NOT apply to the weak interaction, which is the force that tries to split atoms apart.

I don't know why that's important, but if people got a Nobel over it it has to really be important.
