That's from 'Bleep' I think. It's a great way to explain something usually complex. This particular video explains 'The Observer Effect'.

It implies that nothing exists in solid physical form until it is observed i.e. the wave collapses to a particle when observed. The thing is, if a cow is oberving a tree that no human is looking at, does the tree exist? What about flies and what they observe. Something to think about.

Perhaps you can only say that only what you personally observe exists. If a cow is observing something that I am not, neither the tree nor the cow exist if I'm not observing them. Who knows for sure but this could be supporting evidence for the notion of Subjective Reality - maybe.
