If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound? According to some scientists, no.

the idea is that when a tree falls, there is another thing in the way and the tree falls on said thing. this thing is an observer of the tree falling. there is always an observer, if there was no observer then the tree didnt fall, except when it fell into nothingness. people have twisted the meaning of observer into meaning a human consciousness or something. but every rock and grain of dust becomes an observer..

Well, also that reality is what is. Not just what one's puny instruments can detect. Not detecting a star does not mean the stars disappeared. Further, if they think they disappeared, it doesn't mean that Aliens did it.

I'm not so sure sand can observe, but I agree with the idea if you tune your abilities and instruments enough you can detect evidence of events.
