Sean something you're not taking into consideration about the rain thing. What about quantum mechanics is influence on it, you know, by observing it you're changing, its state. You know, the observer effect. What about superposition? Schrodinger's cat style. It's both raining and not raining at all times. Then once you're observing it, you've changed the state, dude. Just like if a tree falls in the woods and you know you're not around to hear. Did it actually make a sound who knows? Deep stuff, man. Wiggle wiggle, pop pop.
