Answer 1

Contrary to popular belief, The Shroedinger Cat thought experiment highlights this. A cat in a box that would randomly kill the cat, does not create a state in which the cat is both alive and dead. Instead, it creates a state of alive OR dead which can only be confirmed through observation.

Ergo, observing the outcome is how we collect evidence of an event we cannot observe.
