“What we observe is not nature itself, but nature exposed to our method of questioning.”
— Werner Heisenberg

“There is no way to remove the observer — us — from our perceptions of the world.”
— Stephen Hawking

“Objectivity is the delusion that observations could be made without an observer.”
— Heinz von Foerster

Perception shapes our reality; we can't separate ourselves from what we observe. Our questions, presence, and perspectives influence how we see the world. Objectivity is a myth; every observation is inherently subjective.
