reality is an illusion
Sep 1 2011, 10:27 PM EDT | Post edited: Sep 1 2011, 10:27 PM EDT
I was surfing the web and found a theory that both some atheists and some theists have agreed on. OK this is the theory.Everyone should know that what we see,hear,feel,taste,and smell is not really real.It's just a guess of what the world looks like made by your brain using your five senses.Since we don't know EXACTLY what the world looks like some quantum physicists thought"what if the universe is entirely made of energy or a simulation".When you think about it actually makes Alot of sense. 1  out of 1 found this valuable.

this is very interesting. So the color blue could actually be like another color? Do you find this valuable?

Actually thunderbird, what we see right now, is what our Eyes see.Every colour might look completely different in reality, but our eyes tell us otherwise. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

"so we're in the matrix?"
I didn't say that.I said that it's possible that the universe might be ENTIRELY made of energy.

Perhaps we're dreaming that we're dreaming,but really don't exist.Maybe we're just consionses floating through nothingness Do you find this valuable?

wow that is freaky. Half a year ago, I had a vision of that. That vision showed me that what we see is like a stimulation game. Not really there but the grass under our feet. Freaky to think it might be true. Do you find this valuable?

Interesting. Certainly relevant to quantum physis but you are not quite right. The quantum physics state that anything is possible because we can not pin point Electrons and some subatomic particles, and thus anything can happen which may alter our reality, which means that pretty much anything is possible, ranging from all of us suddenly appearing in the surface of the moon to suddenly becoming gothic dragons that like to play monopoly. Secondly, matter is the "crystalized" form of energy, much like ice is the solid form of water, which is the basis of do Einstein's famous formula E=m(c)(c) or E=mc(squared). Oddly enough, particles are 99.999% space or so, and are made of quarks, or other such sub atomic particles, and that means that a standard particle (an electron, proton, or/and neutron and their antimatter equivalents) are 99.999%. therefore, we are mostly vacuums that are loosely held in place by minuscule "crystals" of energy. Now, that said, it's not that we are AN allusion, but that reality is LIKE an allusion.

There, I am done. That's the simplified verdin of it all anyways.

Actually if you look into the sky when it is blue you can see dots going about. You have to look hard and try not to blink but you can. Those dots are energy. So you can see energy in the sky floating about. And if you look at the edge of a tree you can see an outline and it usually is blue or purple but that is the aura of the tree. If you concentrate on the aura of the tree you can see the energy wisps go into the aura and you might see energy come out. It's really cool. Do you find this valuable?

Interesting to imagine Thunder, but if you make yourself look hard enough you can pretty much make yourself see what you want to see. Like hallucination, when you're SO hungry you can almost make yourself see food or when you're thirsting to death there are stories of people who see huge ponds that aren't there or something like that.

So it's not that weird if you were to look up at the sky and see dots, a) cause you're notblinking! and b) because you're brain is confused between making you see what you want to see and what is there.

But it's very interesting thought though. :)

Yes, don't. The floorboards are already in disrepair.
