This is a recurring "problem" everytime qm is invoked.

It envolves a big brain with an awful lot of particle states to be modified. And those particles states wonīt be modified at the same time, because the information takes time to cascade on to every single particle in every single neuron. Hence you canīt have reality at a single frame [or 'shot', or 'look', whatever]. Thatīs why I donīt buy the idea that reality needs a conscious observer.
