It's a fact that folks that really know their stuff explain it elegantly, in such a way all of us can understand. Watch 2 smart guys discuss whether the act of observation in any way impacts the final determination between one of 2 quantum states. Basically a fun 6 minutes on whether or not the tree actually falls in the forest IF there was no one around to hear. Enjoy. ;-)

I'll agree with the bloke in the video that 'what if' isn't a thing. For instance, there isn't a whole other universe out there, identical to ours in every way, but where you chose to wear the navy blue socks today. Sure it makes for good comics or occasional SciFi episodes, but,.. not a thing.
