the challenge confronting science today

Subject: To all Realists

To all:
I just submitted an essay contest to FQXI that is a short version of the physics of the observer I am working on. One of the responses claims I am completely off the mark and was signed "realist" 

Some of you may have the same "realist" inclinations so think of this simple experiment:

Consider any object lens image setup.
Bend the image screen and you will see the image is distorted, but no such distortion changes the object.
Now do the same thing but use your eye as the lens image part of the setup.
 Close one eye. With the other focus on an object - say a coffee cup on the desk 1 meter away. Now push the open eye from the side with your finger. This bends the retina and also moves or distorts the coffee cup.

There is no physical mechanism in our current science that accounts for such a distortion of the coffee cup if the coffee cup you see is an independent object.

Conclusion: Neither the coffee cup nor anything we see in our daily environment is an independent objective reality. We are living in an interpretation of sensor interactions that is implemented by a physics inside the observer. Developing and defining this physics and straightening out the errors that have crept into our current physics due to the assumption that reality is the way we see it is the the the challenge confronting science today

If you want to rate it it might help me win, never know.
