The Nature of Things?
What if, the inferences made about the nature of the universe are the very things that manifest its laws? Please, try to stay with me as I attempt to find the words to convey my train of thought.
So much of human discovery was hypothesized by the ones who unveiled it secrets. In a Schrodinger like metaphor: The universe is inside of a box. Simultaneously has rules and no rules, without analysis. It is not until we analyze its properties that we discover how it works. What if the assertion that there is gravity makes it so? Before it was a thought it did not exist. Sure, our feet were planted firmly on the ground for thousands of years before hand but there was no explanation as to why. Until Newton said, there must be a force pulling us toward the ground. We still do not utterly understand gravity. It was not until later that Einstein told us that mass bends space and the space around us is pushing down on us. Even still this does not fully explain the mechanism by which it works. Yet, when is the last time we thought of the nature of gravity? Now, I cannot get these questions out of my mind.
Is reality only as we perceive it? Can we truly manifest it through will alone?
If we can imagine the way something works clearly enough will it become so?
Surely, we all experience it much differently, yet we are here together.
Yet somehow, we are not processing the same thing.
Did Einstein not meditate heavily on the theory that E=mc2? Through sheer mediation and force of will did he not make it so? As he worked tirelessly to conceive an equation that was logical and rational? How often have we seen 2 people given the exact same piece of information yet determine completely different conclusions from it? I have long had the hunch that this existence is only as we perceive it. I do not know if I fully believe we can will the laws of nature and physics into existence. However, to my knowledge, we cannot prove that is not how it works.
I am now beginning to recognize all the evidence to support the theory that reality is manifested.
I leave you with one final thought in desperate attempt to summarize.
Human inuition is to question existence, so, does the question not demand the answer? OR has the answer always been there waiting for us to discover the question?
For those of you that came along on my roller coaster thanks for
listening to me ramble. If anyone has any ideas on this line of thought I would love to hear them.
Perhaps nothing I said makes sense. Sorry if that is the case.
