According to quantum physics you cannot just 'observe' something, for in observing 'something' you must alter its course. For to make an observation you must interact with the object you are observing. The quantum model of nature encompasses principles that contradict not only our everyday experience but out intuitive concept of reality. Nature does not dictate the outcome of any process. Outcomes are not determined with certainty, rather nature allows a number of different eventualities.
As Stephen Hawkins puts it (The Grand Design) "If one were religious, one could really say that God really did play dice." Such speculations bothered Einstein. However the truth/fact is that God may well throw the dice (for you theists) but he does not know the outcome.
