      realm. does what it does, irrespective of an observer. The act of

                        thing that seems to have been taken out of
                        context, I feel, is the “observers” role in the
                        study of subatomic particles.</span> </p>
                    <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Interactions
                        cause changes, obviously.  The only tools we
                        have to study subatomic particles are
                        interactions. Therefore, when we measure
                        something, we change its state, simply because
                        we must interact with it to measure it.  Whether
                        the measurement is taken as a visual impulse in
                        the observer’s eye, or by some other
                        instrumentation, it causes an interaction, and
                        changes the thing measured.</span></p>
                    <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Interactions
                        occur continuously in nature, in the absence of
                        an observer as well.  Therefore, while it is
                        true that making an observation requires
                        interaction, which changes the state of the
                        particle we are measuring, that does not mean
                        that the subatomic universe is
                        observer-centric.  The universe continues to do
                        what it does whether we observe it or not. When
                        we observe, or do anything else, we cause
                        disturbances at the subatomic level, but that
                        does not mean the universe is created by our
                        minds or actions. It does mean that we can have
                        at least a small effect on portions of the
                        universe.</span></p>
                    <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">So my
                        feeling is that the universe would continue to
                        exist if all physical observers were removed,

                        observation are just and only that.</span></p>
