Quantum physics has shown, believe it or not, that the observer has some influence on the object being observed. Yes, we, as human observers, have some influence on the electron under scrutiny. Man has influence on Nature.
This need not be demonstrated here with electrons or Higgs bosons, for we have a more perfect example in Jesus Christ calming the storm. We already know we are affecting the birds of the USA for the worse.
Yep, face it, you are part of Nature and there is a result to your being here. Please try to make the impact a good one.
