It's a huge issue that observer is interpreted to be something like a person. An observation is a certain kind of interaction that causes the quantum state to collapse. It has nothing to do with consciousness.

In what sort of physical system does this interaction occur? Can you make an observer out of carefully arranged doped silicon? How does it manage to trigger a collapse rather than ending up in a superposition itself?
