Observation causes the wave/function to collapse and our observation can determine the outcome. The question really is, does the wave/function collapse without observation?
Since there is no way to observe the outcome, without observing the experiment, can we ever know?
Which was Schrodinger's point : )

Which led to the laymen’s analogy, “If a tree falls in the forest.....”

Too bad he didn’t have a cat.
