"I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics."
- Richard P. Feynman
so i've been thinking about quantum physics lately.
well...it's extremely hard to think about quantum physics
so i've been pondering about some idea's i've picked up while thinking about possibly thinking about quantum physics.
the ideas were always out there. all of them and more that i (or any other for that matter) have ever (or never) thought of. or i did think about. every single one
in every different parallel universe, with infinite possibilities... i've thought of every single one. and none.
it's not until i choose what i'm going to do that the reality presents itself.
people rely too much on what they perceive as real... as what they've been told is real their entire life, on what they see, or hear, or smell, or touch.
close your eyes and picture your computer monitor in front of you.
open your eyes
its the same... and scientists have tracked brain synapses that fire the exact same as when someone looks at an image or imagines it.
so what's real?
is it our senses that are telling our brain what our experience is? or the other way around?
someone in a coma wouldn't have any input into their brain from their senses and therefore would only have their brain to define their reality.
does that make their reality any less real? to you: yes. to them: no
but until you can prove to within a shadow of a doubt that the reality that you perceive and experience actually IS real, you technically are no different than someone asleep, or dreaming, or high, or under the belief they are the king of kansas.
the whole idea behind quantum physics is the idea of probabilities and possibilities on the smallest sub-atomic level... where everything is intertwined and connected through the fabric of the universe.
so therefore, its more than probable and possible that the beliefs we have manifest themselves, and the person we see ourselves as we really are, and the things we say and the thoughts we have really do change our lives. if not us, then who? god?
if you want to talk about probability... there's just as much chance that an old man in sandals created this universe and all the things in it, than there is that we created ourselves out of the endless mass and energy that is this universe.
so fuck you... creationist bastards
