Without observation, there would be no scientific method, and if SR, GR and QM are correct, there wouldn't be any universe either!

Some times the hardest concepts to believe are the simplest! I have had stormy conversations with philosophical colleagues about this issue, which is at the heart of SR, GR, QM, and the cosmology I am describing. Existence is a matter of definition, and definition requires observation and intelligence. Whether an electron is a particle or wave, or becomes infinitely massive depends on the frame of reference from which it is observed. The same particle is a completely different thing when observed in different ways. The reality of what an Electron is, is collapsed in the eye of the observer, who sees by means of light. An Elephant is different things to blind people holding its tail, trunk or leg. The gift of sight, and a better dimensional perspective clarifies the enigma of what an Elephant exactly is.

The point of course, is that right now anyway, our frame of reference with respect to electrons lacks perspective and is pretty limited...in a way, we are blind.Yet our existence here and now is such a critical part of an Einsteinian Hyperspherical Universe, it is difficult to avoid the conclusion that we are at least a small part of the explanation for how the universe got here in the first place! Each frame of reference is a separate, equally "real" reality, but for any reality to exist, it must be observed! Regards, Sam Cox
