Mirroring & Fun and Games from the world of Science.

[Guest guest]

Hiya Yogaman,

 

 

Imagine yourself standing in a huge hall where there are thousands of mirrors.

 

Each mirror has a different curvature, is placed at a different angle, is made

up of slightly different chemical compositions, such that each of your images

are different in each of the mirrors.

 

And imagine you had the power to and you did bestow the quality of sentience to

each of the images, whereby each "image" assumed it was the subject, cognizing,

noting all the other images.

 

That except itself, all other images were objects, of which it, was the subject.

 

Each image "thinks" this and believes it is observing all the other characters,

out of it's free will, out of it's choice.

 

And you start dancing.

 

Doooo beeee Dobeeee Dooooo

Some fun and games from the world of Science.... AN EXPOSITION

 

 

In nature things are as they are.

 

Correlation is a concept which we use to describe the connections we perceive.

The word and concept of `correlation' have no significance apart from people.

This is because only people use words and concepts.

 

Correlation is a concept.

 

Subatomic particles are correlations.

 

If we are not here to make them, there would not be any concepts, including the

concept of correlation.

 

The same is true of particles: if we were not here to make them, there would not

be any particles.

>From a pragmatic point of view nothing can be said about the world `out there'

except via our concepts.

 

Even in the world of our concepts particles do not have a separate and

independent existence. They are represented by

wave functions (Schroedinger's wave equation); and the meaning of the wave

function lies only in the correlation of other macroscopic things.

Since the wave function is thought to be a complete description of physical

reality, and since that which the wave function describes is an idea as well as

matter, the world cannot be as it appears.

 

A macroscopic object like a table or a chair has an experienced meaning.

 

That is, we organize our sensory perceptions directly in terms of it.

These experiences are such that we can believe that the object has an existence

and a well-defined location in space-time that is logically independent of other

things.

 

But without a perceiver of the chair, there is no chair.

 

 

If it has an idea-like aspect, the physical world cannot be substantive in the

usual sense of the word.

 

One hundred percent matter is one hundred percent idea.

 

The Copenhagen interpretation of Quantum mechanics states that the physical

world is not what it appears to be.

It states that what we perceive to be physical reality is actually our cognitive

construction of it.

 

This cognitive construction may appear to be substantive, but the Copenhagen

interpretation of quantum mechanics leads directly to the conclusion that the

physical world itself does not exist.

 

------------

 

 

The mind is such that it can only deal with ideas.

It is not possible for the mind to relate to anything other than ideas.

 

Therefore, it is not correct to think that the mind can actually ponder reality.

All that the mind can ponder are its own ideas about reality.

 

Therefore, whether or not an idea is true is not a matter of how closely it

corresponds to the absolute reality, but how consistent it is with our

experience.

 

Even the Copenhagen interpreters of quantum mechanics were forced by their own

findings to acknowledge that a complete understanding of reality lies beyond the

capabilities of rational thought.
