If a tree falls in a forest and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?

Sorta.

I was born with this... thing. I'm not an active observer in the eyes of the universe. I know, I know - it sounds ridiculous, but here's the brunt of it. Things only happen when there is an active observer of that given event... apparently. The countless scientists that have flocked around me since my birth keep saying things of that nature but I'll be damned if I understand them. Something about quantum physics. And since, for whatever reason, I do not count as an observer, I know what happens when things lie somewhere between happening and not happening. So, what is it?

It's weird. And it's beautiful.

I've flipped a coin when no one was around and called heads, tails, and falling on its edge. I was correct. I've heard Schrödinger's cat meow in that box, knowing it was and was not dead. I have unironically answered something with 'yesn't'. But most importantly, I've seen the cracks.

When things go unobserved long enough, these breaks start to form, almost as if reality was about to fracture. It's like glass that's been cracked and the rift is slowly expanding as you hear the creaking noise, knowing it can give at any moment. Every time it gets too big, someone or something comes along to observe it and - it was never there. Always wondered what would happen if one of those... broke. Truly and completely. Maybe one already has and I don't know it.

There's one behind your left ear right now, you know?

Oh, don't worry. Someone will come along soon enough. Or just use a mirror. You won't see it there. It will never have been there.

Anyway! I really should get going. Another round of tests back at the lab. Thanks for the coffee.

I'll be seeing you.

Metaphorically speaking.
