There are two groups of people. They are the only people who exist on this planet. One group is outside in the open, sitting in a park ground. Another group is sitting in a completely darkened room, watching a day long horror movie. They meet after one day to talk about what happened in the last 24 hours.
First Group in the Park: We were having a good time at the park until it started raining and we had to huddle under a tree for shelter.
Second Group: Rain? There is no evidence of rain. The ground is dry. The sky is clear.
First Group: It did rain. And after that there was a rainbow.
Second Group: We disagree. We did not observe the rain. There was neither rain nor was there a rainbow.
Question: Is existence only possible by the act of observation?
