Riposte: Observation in quantum mechanics doesn't mean what observation means in everyday english. In everyday english, observation means someone is watching. The easiest explanation of what Observation means in QM is just "two particles interacted and made some new information" note the total lack of implied special effects by conscious observers in that definition. It's because consciousness doesn't matter to QM. The fuckup in communicating this to the public by the QM community has led to, well, things like this.
