Does the universe exist if we're not looking?

This is a link to an issue in Discovery magazine that poses an excellent question.

Kinda like the proverbial tree in the woods, eh?

Interesting article...
"The short answer: The cat's fate is undecided until the moment someone observes the experiment." Kinda on the whole exestential side of "realms of reality."

Thanks for sharing man!

I like this question. Seen it before.

Anwser: We can never know..

Do the photons behave like waves because we aren't watching or do they behave like particles because we are?

I don't think it's both, and I think it's the latter.

Try to turn around real quick, and you will find out that its all blackness behind you... real nothingness... a real mess :wink:
