But why? What "energy" or "force" is acting on it to change it? People aren't psychic, after all. Observation acts on the observer, not the observed. When we look at a star our eyes are catching light from billions of light years away; how is that thing which is affecting our biology instead affecting it? Why does knowing change it? What "force" is at work?
Unless it's like a multiverse thing or something (pretty sure quantum mechanics has multiverse in it, right?)
