Ever wonder if...

As if you feel/sense your standards of existence are different then they are within the Matrix...

But wait. What if there is an inverse effect?

What if you ARE the inverse effect?

Badda bing!

His question still stands though. He did not speculate about what caused the inverse effect. He only inquired about there being an inverse effect.

First step would be in proving alternate universes to be "scientifically true." That there is highly problematic.

home.cern...

Work is being done about the make up of reality. If we presume that an alternate universe is real, then it would highly probable that communication with that "AU" would be through controlling the underlying bedrock that connects this Universe to the AU.

If we presume that an alternate universe is real

Then prove it is (which is highly problematic), or disprove the null (which may be a bit less so).

Beyond that, speculate all you want.

I wish I had talent as a writer, that feedback idea is pretty cool. It's mine. Don't you dare write a story without giving me credit.

What would it take to prove it?

a reply to: highvein

Beats me.

Through the Looking Glass and back?

We all sit and daydream. Be it about a better job, the perfect mate, telling your boss to shove it, etc.

I wonder, are those day dreams are our connections with our alt universe selves? Are we feeling what they are living that day? Or are we guiding them on their path?

Just curious to know your thoughts.

I suspect that every thought we have brings something from virtual to real, even if it's only in the form of a pattern of chemical and electrical processes in you brain. It adds actual energy and mass and information into the universe. And that is what's making the universe expand forward into time. The thoughts of sentient beings.

The beauty of it is, that it can not be proved.
Science would not touch this subject with a ten feet pole.

Besides we will never understand reality completely through science,
same as trying to measure or weigh a dream.

Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?
(E. Poe)

the idea that there are an infinite number of alternate universes and that i am somewhere possibly president of the united state of america has something... but i guess we won't know until we have left one world to enter another world. or we will never know and it was all just the play of synapses. i think there is more. and when we dream, day or night, we travel to other worlds, other dimensions, other realities.

So if we stop thinking nothing happens?

Solipsism is sort of an adolescent way of looking at things. I think. The adolescent mind can be rather self-centered.

Through the Looking Glass and back?

As in the early LssD testing?

a reply to: highvein

I don't think an altered state presents a reality beyond one's self. Just another point of view of one's self.

All the different minds are self centered. Uhh. Maybe that is the proof...

Stay with me here.

We all live in different realities. Provable.

We live different lives with different mind sets.

All of our realities are connected by a form of communication.

Waveform, binary, Analog, digital.

We are taught how to communicate, by people who where taught, etc...till we reach the first one who realized they could communicate with another part of reality.

I don't know, I lost it.

a reply to: highvein

Reality by consensus?

Nah, that doesn't really work either.

But none the less it is a reality apart from the common one that is experienced between the subject and the observer.

a reply to: highvein

I saw it as a means of seeing myself as observers saw me.
In my case, it was comforting.

a reply to: Phage

Not really a consensus, but more of the difference each experiences in their reality.

Nah, that doesn't really work either.

I don't know. It was off the top of my head.

a reply to: Phage

I feel like there is a story there. Use your idea about the feedback. I am content inspiring you.

Really? An insult?

a reply to: Blue Shift

What insult?

There is no insult in the term adolescent.
Just as there is no insult in the term ignorant.
Solipsism is the name of a certain philosophy.

Self-centeredness is a trait typical of adolescent thinking and it is the basis of solipsism. Do you disagree?
