AFAIK there are philosophers and theorists that insisted for a long time that there is no phenomenon until it is observed.

The implications of the 'Observer Effect' are profound because, if true, it means that before anything can manifest in the physical universe it must first be observed. Presumably observation cannot occur without the pre-existence of some sort of consciousness to do the observing. The Observer Effect clearly implies that the physical Universe is the direct result of 'consciousness'.

IMHO what this experiment shows is that for those philosophers nature is sticking her tongue to them
"Stop telling me [nature] what to do, things and whatever state they have exist even before and
after you see them."
