Well, as long as we're observing the universe, that'd be OK. And we could find out if the universe is holding a reference to each of it's observers¹ by getting everyone to ignore someone and see if they disappear. ¹ - because then we'll have a ref loop and the universe won't disappear if everyone completely ignores everybody else. Which would be nice. Update: the "not disappearing" would be nice. Not the "ignoring everybody".	[reply]
