The universe doesn't exist if we stop looking at it.
This is according a famous theory in quantum mechanics which argues that a particle's past behaviour changes based on what we see.
Now, scientists have performed a new experiment proving this theory to be true on the scale of atoms.
According to the rules of quantum mechanics, the boundary between the 'world out there' and our own subjective consciousness are blurred.
When physicists look at atoms or particles of light, what they see depends on how they have set up their experiment.
To test this, physicists at the Australian National University recently conducted what is known as the John Wheeler's delayed-choice thought experiment. Full story...
