Particle-wave duality and nonlocality, as metaphysical as they may seem, are aspects that have been observed experimentally and so would seem to be definitely a part of our physical reality.
But what about the quantum mechanical formalism that the act of observation actually creates reality? The central problem, of course, is who is the observer?
What do you think?

There are experiments which are set up in a way where an event takes place before the outcome is observed.
These experiments show that an observation also creates an appropriate history, or to put it differently, what is observed changes what happened before the observation is made.
