Oh... I'm pretty sure that's a misunderstanding of what physics says because it's being interpreted by non-physicists and the physicists didn't make it clear what their definitions are.

I'm guessing the confusion stems from the typical quantum physicist's use of the word "observe" to be interchangeable with "interacts with."
The behavior of matter has nothing to do with whether a person or consciousness is watching it.
It simply states that when matter isn't interacting with anything, it behaves in one way, and when it is interacting with other stuff, it behaves in another way. Both patterns of behavior are well defined within the statistical limits of observation and theory.
