I've said it before, and I'll say it again...A chair to us is just a chair.....Wonder what the chair thinks about our observation ?
Actually, I haven't ever said that before, but something along similar lines to demonstrate, just because an object is inanimate, doesn't mean the object isn't aware.

the most important sensory organ within us is our brain, not eyes or limbs.
And it is not a question of the infinitely large or small either. This ideal of 'infinite' is a flawed human invention. There is no true infinite level above or below or anywhere actually.
Evertything can be broken down and categorized eventually with enough time and resources.

You first must open the book with your hands and read it with your eyes. Thats what I meant. The smaller the book, the harder it is to interface with it. Easier to induce miscalculations and false readings.
If your hand could stretch all the way to the end of the Universe... wait, there is no end.
Thats like dividing a line into infinite pieces. Can't be done. That part of the problem. "Breaking things down" keeps us from seeing what is in front of our noses. Forest for the trees kind of thing.

Science is all about proving ideals by constantly measuring it with better and better tools of observation, whether its the mind or machines.

I like to think of wave/particle duality as being evidence that we exist in a multiverse.
The wave aspect of a particle in effect being its existence smeared across the multiverse. Our consciousness traverses this multiverse and everything that we experience and perceive is the point that our consciousness intersects points in space/time (and possibly other dimensional qualities) of the multiverse.
That would put us at the center of our own universe, if I were to take the place of your consciousness I would in effect be in a different universe. Me and you could both look at a chair, exactly the same photon particles would be hitting our retinas allowing us to view the chair, only that the same photons are separated in space/time.
I wish everyday life was this simple.

Imagine the ideal of a proton, neutron and electrons to universes by themselves..
