My take on your perspective is that you've bought into an idea that is essentially the "tail wagging the dog". As we see in particle physics, the observation of an event affects the presentation of that event. So from this lens, the physical world as we observe itself exists in the eye of the observer.

As Schopenhauer put it, "it is the laws of nature that arise from a transpersonal will, not the will from the laws of nature".
