In my mind, Schrödinger's cat was an important thought experiment that pointed strongly in this direction. Whether it is just a limitation stemming from our current knowledge of physics or something else is still debatable.

And folks like Einstein felt quantum mechanics is an incomplete theory because of this. It is not an settled debate.
