    In the orthodox language of quantum mechanics the observer occupies a central position. The author proposes to replace the notion of ``measuring result'' by the more general notion of the ``event'' that is considered as a fact independent of the presence of an observer. Starting from this idea he comes to an evolutionary picture of physics. It means, that at any stage, the ``past'' consists of the events which have been realized while the future contains the allowed possibilities for new ones.
