There are no humans, no observers in 99.99..99% of the universe. Of my back yard. Right now!!! So it's not there! Yeah, that's what Jim Al-Khalili means!!!! Yeahh, right. OK. Yeah, the photons indeterminately bouncing off the moon ARE the moon! Right? I mean, hey man. Who need weed?

0.00..00% of it.

So if I put my fingers over my eyes I can't be seen?
Hang on, believing is seeing?
