The whole "if a tree falls in the woods and no one is around, does it make a sound?" is often appropriated by quantum aficionados in modern times, but it is actually a Buddhist rhetorical question, not a quantum theoretical problem. The idea is that, without an ear around to acknowledge the sound (ignoring that this is pretty much not possible on this earth, there is some kind of animal with ears that will always here it), can we say for certain it happened? It's supposed to lead the thinking person to the inevitable conclusion that the only certainty in life is death, not make one wonder if life is a simulation or whatever. The quantum interpretation is scientific appropriation of religion.
How about the universe.. if something exploded from a beginning.. how's that work.. at some point there's none of the shit that exploded
I found a book recently that I'm looking forward to reading:
"The Big Bang Never Happened: A Startling Refutation of the Dominant Theory of the Origin of the Universe" by Eric J. Lerner.
