Ps a thought comes to mind, that we might appreciate given we know a little about physics. The irony is that it is true we might remain hidden if we covered our eyes, because what we look at is affected by us observing it, therefore in a way making it true we might remain hidden by covering our eyes. Perhaps this is what you meant by what you said, thanks for making me think about it.
But why would an anonymous physicist then call that pathetic?
Is physics pathetic to a physicist?
