But then we come to the question - if there is no observer, is the object still there?
In other words - if a tree falls in a forest, and nobody is around, does it still make a sound? But let's take it up a level: if a tree falls in a forest, and nobody is a around, does it even fall?
If all everything is perception, then so long as there are no observers, there is no reality - anything that isn't being watched doesn't actually exist.
While this is possible - since it's impossible to know with 100% certainty what is happening when you aren't watching it - it's difficult to swallow that the moment you stop watching something, it ceases to exist.
