Dugongs are animals that live in the ocean and eat underwater grasses. The sun is shining on the shallow ocean water where the grasses and dugongs live. What is happening to the carbon in the water around the grasses and the dugongs? Is carbon moving into the water, moving out of the water, or both? Carbon is not moving into the water; it is only moving out of the water. With this information, there is no way to know for sure. Carbon is moving into the water and out of the water, at the same time. Carbon is only moving into the water; it is not moving out of the water.

it can be observed without changing the identity of the object.

it depends on what substance you're talking about as well as many other factors. in quantum mechanics, the observation of particles affects the observers ability to measure certain properties. for example: you can know the velocity of a particle, but you can't know it's position; or you can know it's position, but not it's velocity. it's like trying to find out where a grain of sand is by throwing other grains of sand at it. once you find out where it is, it's been moved. it's also like trying to find an answer to the question of whether or not a tree falling in a forest makes a sound if nobody is there to hear it. paradoxically, the only way to find out is to be there and hear it.
