To go from the above to saying matter doesn't exist if it isn't being observed it a leap too far imo. |
Me too, but apparently there are those insane physicists alluded to earlier, who disappear when they close their eyes.
ETA: they don't bother doing physics anymore, in fact, they just make up worlds in their heads and then go and live in them.
