Any system that recieves enough information about a particle will have to interact with it to obtain that information. Hence the act of measuring disturbes the system because it requires the wavefunction to react to the potential of the measuring apparatus. The information propagates from measuring equipment to computers and human beings and every system involved behaves as if the wavefunction collapsed. You can view this as a combined system because the measurement gives a strong interaction between the different parts.

The main philosophical hiccups are in determining if there is an objective physical reality in which the wave function collapses, but this is a bit of a silly question if your an empiricist because you would have to measure the wavefunction/equipment/observer combined system to find out. You may argue that you could measure the particle and then move it to another observer to let them measure it, but experiments with entanglement show that the combined system stays coherent even if you would naively assume that there would be FTL information travel involved (this is just a paradox as the no information theorem shows).

Don't get spooked into thinking qm just perturbes the newtonian view of the universe a bit, it should radically change your perspective.

you fucking mongoloid
you really think thousands of engineers and scientists have never thought about something as mind boggingly simple as "JUST LAUNCH IT FROM HIGHER UP LOL"?
what is it with you fucking high school dropouts and your delusions of grandeur making you think that you're somehow smarter in [field X] than someone who has worked in [field X] for most of his life

kill yourself
