Oh, don't be so unscientific, Mrs Cogan.

""Some physicists would prefer to come back to the idea of an objective real world whose smallest parts exist objectively in the same sense as stones or trees exist independently of whether we observe them. This however is impossible." - Werner Heisenberg, Nobel Laureate for Physics

"The doctrine that the world is made up of objects whose existence is independent of human consciousness turns out to be in conflict with Quantum Mechanics and with facts established by experiment." - Bernard d'Espagnat, former director of the Laboratory of Theoretical Physics and Elementary Particles at the University of Paris XI (Orsay).
