I found this very interesting.
As for Linde, he is especially interested in the mystery of consciousness and has speculated that consciousness may be a fundamental component of the universe, much like space and time. He wonders whether the physical universe, its laws, and conscious observers might form an integrated whole. A complete description of reality, he says, could require all three of those components, which he posits emerged simultaneously. Without someone observing the universe, he says, the universe is actually dead.

its not that its "dead" its that it doesn't exist. Its a pretty old concept though... "If a tree falls in the woods, and no one is around to hear it..does it make a sound?"
