Quantum Physics is applicable to very limited circumstance -- the VERY tiny (where the interior of an atom is like a enormous solar system and Time of events is in femtoseconds (less than trillionths of seconds) and when relative temperatures get VERY close to absolute zero (−459.67 degrees BELOW zero Fahrenheit). The whole 'when observed' thing is most related to quantum effects falling out of their quantum states on ANY interaction (you cannot observe something WITHOUT interacting in the smallest way). Much of that 'science' is still based on speculation and theory. Much of the 'truth' of it ALSO may be mostly subject to, instead of 'observation', the wish for Grant Money to make a living for many of the 'scientists' involved.

I think I like your reply the best. Always follow the money. Things change when observed!

Well stated.

Observations may change things, but usually not at the macro level unless there is both a simultaneous observation that is able to have quantum effects, plus a very strong “butterfly effect” type thing that can result in a quick effect (not taking eons to occur) large enough to be observable at a macro level.

The citations do not support the claim that we all (or just me if it turns out that you are all my creation) make our own universes.

Those here noting that these claims look like a “scientific” version of “solipsism” (which I had to look up, but once looked up I realized I know people who subscribe to it) would seem to be correct.

Some people, usually the atheist types, seem to WANT a “solipsism” type world+physics to be true.

The world is indeed weird to us humans. Light, the first thing God made (it seems to me he did that and all physics fell into place), is both a particle and a wave simultaneously, and one photon can go through 2 holes at once, if there are two holes to go through. It is yet another counterintuitive thing, a QM thing. But we only appreciate that when we shoot one photon at a time, nothing like that occurs on the macro level when we shine a light. Quantum is not generally macro. We are macro creatures. When we macro people make observations QM does NOT cause us to create universes unto ourselves. That is not supported.

So I agree with others that God exists. And others exist, and neither they nor I are God.
