Okay, thought experiment for your Tuesday afternoon:
If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around, does it make a sound? Most people say no, because sound needs an ear to hear it. But if a new, incredibly sensitive scientific instrument could detect the pressure waves, would that count? Or does it still need a conscious observer?
Where do we draw the line?
