: If observing a partical causes a collapse of its wave function and instantaneously brings it into a state of being, then before you observed it.....it was merely a wave that described the "partical" as having a probability of being somewhere. My question is that if we were never to observe anything, wouldn't everything still be in that "wave" state. I heard that light travels in waves and interracts with matter as a particle. Doesn't this mean that before life was here, say at the first few billion years of the universe, all matter was not observed and therefore still a wave. It's like the universe was one giant wave function until an observer was created. So nothing really existed until we/anybody got here. " Does this make since?" (sense) Wayne: CL, yes it does. If you mean physical matter when you say "nothing" but there still had to be a power source to set it in motion. We can have power without matter, but we can't have matter without power. Who, or what, generated the power.
