From Physics Forum.com: Question: Is Consciousness needed to collapse the wave function? ....This should be obvious. Imagine a time when the earth was only rocks, lava, and volcanic eruptions with no conscious observers. This this mean that no Wave Functions were collapsed? No. the Environment does the collapsing You need to do better research before jumping to conclusions.
The answer from the concensus of modern physicists. (Obviously Hagelin and Chopra are not among them): "the answer is No. experiments have proved that it's the setup that causes the "collapse" .... the collapse happens even when no human/living-entity is watching..... now one could argue further and say/ask - how do you know if collapse has happened, even if no human is watching? there is an answer...but then.... there's no end to such a line of questioning...
