Isn't quantum physics puzzled over the observation that when you stop observing particles, they become waves of posibilities? In other words, your reality disapears when it's not observed, weather you believe it to be there or not.

just wanted to throw that one in

wow, that's a lot to read, with little time to read it. honestly, i don't have the time to read all that right now, and i have a bad memory. so if i try to break it up into days, i'll forget what i read the day before. can you give a semi-decent sized summary?

what does it involve? i tried watching a little bit of it (the first one) and i didn't get it. i got bored real quick, and shut it off. i really don't get the point of them

Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.

Nice one. I agree.

But it's naughty of you not to give credit where credit is due: the man who said that first was every paranoiac's favourite science-fiction writer, Philip K. Dick.

On a different note, subatomic particles don't become waves of possibilities when nobody's looking. Slight misunderstanding of the wave function there.

Quantum uncertainty does not call the reality of our perceptions into question; it does, however, suggest that some of our inferences from those perceptions may not be valid. But that is something quite common in the history of knowledge--it was once thought that Earth was at the centre of the universe, for example.

As to the nature of reality, I see absolutely no reason to deny that it is what my senses (suitably augmented as required) tell me it is. Of course, it could just be a dream I'm dreaming; but then that dream is my reality. I embrace and believe in reality as it manifests itself to the kind of being I am. That's all the reality anyone needs.

Only read this if you are quite young?
