I understand your point...but what I'm saying is that there is a physical
universe that doesn't rely on observers at all. Observers only 'interpret' what
they observe.

Mass doesn't vary with velocity....nor does rod length or the rate of a clock.

This type of experiment is full of assumtions and uncertainties.
You might belioeve it but I certainly would be looking for alternative
explanations.
