Part of the quantum enigma is that observation SHAPES reality. Schrodinger's Cat or "If a tree fell in a forest...".

It is not just a question of perception. For example, currently experiments are being done on Bell's Theorem which seem to indicate faster than light speed is a reality, which Einstein saw as "spooky action". It may well be that we are already perceiving a point of view from outside our universe. In fact, we may be living it.

Or not.
