posits the existence of probability waves which describe the likelihood of finding the particle at a given location. Until the particle is detected at any location along this probability wave, it effectively exists at every point. Thus, when the particle could be passing through either of the two slits, it will actually pass through both, and so an interference pattern results. But if the particle is detected at one of the two slits, then it can no longer be passing through both—its presence must become manifested at one or the other, and so no interference pattern appears.

Then perhaps there are more observers. Don't forget that as observers we are not only our conscious minds, and that this trait is not exclusive to us humans.

. What these scientists are claiming, based on their findings is that nothing can exist without consciousness basically. It's consciousness that exists before matter. So for the sun to form and in fact for the big bang to happen, there must've been something observing it (of course if these experiments are correct).

Now physicists from Austria claim to have performed an experiment that rules out a broad class of hidden-variables theories that focus on realism -- giving the uneasy consequence that reality does not exist when we are not observing it (Nature 446 871).
