Your referenced journal entry makes the improbable assumuption that we are the only intelligent creatures in the universe (or at least that we are on the only planet in the universe with intelligent life on it).
In the observer theory wouldn't it make more sense that the universe we see is a mutually shared hallucination between all intelligent beings in it?
If this is the case than perhaps the theory could be confirmed by observing slight changes in the laws of physics as newly evolved intelligent entities cast their vote in the behaviour of the universe?
This assumes that all entities have an equal vote in the rules. Perhaps our view of the universe is only local - and that other regions have completely different physical laws.
