might be burnt, fallen, firewood, sawdust, and so on. Once an observation is made, then the tree suddenly springs into a definite state, and we see that it has fallen, for instance.
Does this really answer the question or just push it back a step? What determines what state we will find an observed object in? Experience shows that final states are not random. They can be predicted. Therefore, even if the electron itself is not objective before observation could its final location in fact be determined by a higher objective reality?
