A fine traditonal view...not very Einsteinan, but logical in its own way. The modern view is the the universe only exists when it is recognized by intelligence, for an equally logical reason. By definition, if the universe exists, but is not recognized, how can we say it exists?

I might add that experiments in recent years have brought this subject out of the realm of thought experiment and philosophy into the laboratory.
