I'll start
If I'm not looking at the rock in front of my yard, it does not exist right? Objects only exist if there's an observer?
"quantum mechanics suggests that reality doesn't even exist in a definitive state independent of observation. It's as if the act of observation brings reality into existence. "
So if I call a neighbor across the street and ask them if the rock is still there, I'm assuming they would say yes. Also I assume this because the object is being observed, but by someone else. Now what if neither one of us is looking at the rock and we have a webcam looking at the rock. Is the webcam considered an observer? Is the observer phenomenon dependent on a conscious observer? The camera is not conscious, is it? Now if we go back and look at the camera footage, the rock would most likely be there, right? Now is this because we're looking at camera footage in past time? Or is this because although the camera took footage in the past, we're looking at it in the future? Or is time just a human construct.
This is the shit that keeps me up at night. Keep in mind, an atom is 99.9999999999999% empty space.
Please deposit your brain dumps here, whether factual or fantasy. Let's figure this shit out once and for all.
