I didn't see this program but a friend that saw it said that it was saying 
that the Universe wouldn't exist if man didn't exist.
So that would reduce the Principle to
       It is observed, therefore it is, therefore it is observed..[repeating]

If man didnt exist man couldn't observe the universe so it wouldn't exist
in the world as defined by man. It may exist in something elses world though.

What is the universe to the Earth ?
