"Experiment after experiment has shown—defying common sense—that if we assume that the particles that make up ordinary objects have an objective, observer-independent existence, we get the wrong answers. The central lesson of quantum physics is clear: There are no public objects sitting out there in some preexisting space."
For some reason, many scientists seem to believe that they are independent observers and not part of the physics they measure. If they can give that up, then things make more sense.
