"it makes a sound AND it doesn't . . . until something observes it..."

Did the ant that the tree fell on "observe it", hear the sound? Did the amoeba to the left of the falling tree "observe it"? Did the leaf on the falling tree "observe it"? Did the silica molecule the tree fell on "observe it"?

The article I read was posted to Slashdot, sorry I don't have the link. However that question was answered by one of the many anonymous "experts" who post: any physical interaction is considered an observation. Even a particle.

I'd imagine the "outcome" must be a sum/average of the trillions of interactions taking place? I'm out of my league and only guessing, but that's what I took from it.
