have you see the physics experiments that prove that reality needs an observer ?
based on this and other things, I am convinced that this reality is a manifestation of consciousness.
when part of or all of the manifestation ends, you still are a thing.
The fossil evidence suggests humans have been around for 200 thousand years.
The universe is 13.8 billion years old.
I think its safe to assume no life ie observer existed 10 years after the universe came into being.
Did it exist without an observer ?
100 years +bb (plus Big Bang)
Observers no, reality yes.
1000 years +BB.....
10,000 years +BB
It is the height of human hubris to think it relies on an observer.
It doesnt
Long after our sun has gone nova, even as the universe goes cold during its eventual heat death
Heat death of the universe - Wikipedia
Reality will be ticking along nicely without an observer.
You are confusing certain principles in quantum mechanics with the real world
Quantum Mechanics Requires an Observer Context Distinguishing between Reality and its Mental Representation
Just as many think schrodingers cat was a serious proposition. It wasnt it was designed to highlight just what ive stated
The Science:
A cat is sealed in a box with a vial of poison and a radioactive sample. If the sample decays at a time no one could ever predict, then the poison is released and the cat dies. They call this "quantum superposition" and it means is that, at any moment, it's decayed and not-decayed. Who the hell knows? That also means the cat is simultaneously licking his little butthole all cozy in a box and dead as a door nail. You'll know for sure when you look. Better put on that gas mask first.
The Problem:
The problem is that it's bullshit. Or rather, poisonous radioactive catshit. Schrodinger
designed his nuclear-animal-cruelty
Saw-prequel to be so obviously stupid that it would reveal the ridiculousness of applying quantum mechanics, meant for super-small-scale stuff, to larger objects. His original description of the thought experiment is dripping with sarcasm (and panicked cat urine), but people have been teaching it as the real thing for decades because it sounds so Inceptiony and scientarded that it must make sense.
What he said was
One can even set up quite ridiculous cases. A cat is penned up in a steel chamber, along with the following device (which must be secured against direct interference by the cat)...
It is typical of these cases that an indeterminacy originally restricted to the atomic domain becomes transformed into macroscopic indeterminacy, which can then be resolved by direct observation. That prevents us from so naively accepting as valid a "blurred model" for representing reality. In itself, it would not embody anything unclear or contradictory. There is a difference between a shaky or out-of-focus photograph and a snapshot of clouds and fog banks.
He was making the point that you cannot apply quantum mechanics to the actual universe

The story continues, as Einstein later wrote to Schrödinger:
You are the only contemporary physicist, besides Laue, who sees that one cannot get around the assumption of reality, if only one is honest. Most of them simply do not see what sort of risky game they are playing with reality—reality as something independent of what is experimentally established. Their interpretation is, however, refuted most elegantly by your system of radioactive atom + amplifier + charge of gunpowder + cat in a box, in which the psi-function of the system contains both the cat alive and blown to bits. Nobody really doubts that the presence or absence of the cat is something independent of the act of observation.
Einstein thought Schrödinger refuted the notion that reality was "blurry" and depended on the observer. The universe has already worked out what happened before you looked (hence his famous quote, "God does not play dice.").
Reality does not need an observer, unless you want to measure it.
The collapse of superposition does not occur in observable physical reality, but in its mental representation. Some physical principles—such as superposition, infinity and nothingness before the Big Bang—are pure phenomena of mental representation
