Seriously, where would they observe it from?
Where you are going wrong is believing that nonsense that nothing could exist unless there was a human to observe it.edit on 23-7-2013 by IvanAstikov because: (no reason given)

Since there was no big bang it is irrelevant, what do I mean?
They have found the expansion of the universe is SPEEDING up ,explosions dont speed up the more time goes by they slow down.(inverse square law)

No human has ever seen these quantum effects, they are just the interpretations of some device. If nothing could exist without there being humans around as observers, what was happening when our ancestors were still swinging in the trees?

As for the observer, the lack of observation is not proof on non-existence. The whole if a tree falls, just because no one is there to watch it does not mean it never happened. Just means no one was there to say it did.

Perhaps it is still exploding.

Scientists say nothing definate ever happens outside of our observation and that without an observer only random possibilities exist.

Scientists don't say that. Yes, I've heard of quantum mechanics.
Most physicists nowadays would probably agree that all 'past, present and future' states of the universe exist at various points in spacetime. That doesn't make time travel possible for humans, unfortunately, except for travel forward in time at the usual rate of one second per second.
