QM. The Measurement Problem: an object(or system function) requires an observer in order to yield a specific outcome i.e. how the object is ultimately perceived. Supposedly there are numerous possible values or outcomes for any given object, system, or function, but it is only when the object is actually observed(or "measured") that it results in one single specific observable outcome – the collapsing of the wave function.
But as Einstein once said: "I'd like to think that the Moon is there even when I'm not looking at it.".
