“Do we create what we observe through the act of our observations?”

“Do we create what we observe through the act of our observations?”

I do not agree with the statement that we create what we observe through the act of our observations. How can we create something that already exists? If multiple people observe the same thing, are they all creating the same thing? It makes no sense to me. I can barely even understand this entire article just because it uses so many words I do not understand. Also, I never took a physics class, let alone quantum mechanics. When we observe something, we are creating our perception of it, but we are not creating the actual existence of it.
The strength of Roebke's thesis is that it is something that makes the reader stop and think. Any time someone poses a deeply philosophical question, the reader or listener almost always takes a second to think about it, so atleast Roebke is engaging his audience and creating a means for which them to use their brains. However, this is the only strength that I find in it.
