DISTORTED PERCEPTION. “This empirical conclusion confirms George Boole's logical conclusion- that the world is objectively one thing with no parts but we subjectively perceive it to have a multitude of parts.” https://www.quora.com/Does-everything-in-the-universe-connect?redirect_to_mweb=1 View in LinkedIn

Blade Runner 2049" "“FILE CLERK: “When the lights came back, we were wiped clean.”" "FILE CLERK: “Photos, files, every bit of data, pfft. Gone. Bank records too. Heh.”" "FILE CLERK: “I mean, we had everything on drives. Everything, everything, everything. Heh.” https://books.google.es/books?id=30qxDwAAQBAJ&pg=PT333&lpg=PT333&dq=bladerunner+was+about+electronic+records+being+wiped+clean&source=bl&ots=eWyy3YlZ4F&sig=ACfU3U0RjFXj44ntjRJiFsp7Ct7rrRzURw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjij6uf8c7mAhVNAGMBHQ-VBoIQ6AEwAHoECAUQAQ#v=onepage&q=bladerunner%20was%20about%20electronic%20records%20being%20wiped%20clean&f=false View in LinkedIn

A Submerged Town: " "Thirst brought him to this waterhole in the parched desert. While drinking the water he suddenly beheld a town on the bottom of this scoopful of water, burying his face in it to see more, almost forgetting to breathe, and hating to return to this world...this scorched, lifeless, friendless, empty desert. - Stanislav Szukalski. https://lnkd.in/eP-XMQ5s View in LinkedIn

THE OLD SAW. “That is, we don't so much "discover" things, such as the hydrogen atom, as we "decide" them.” https://www.quora.com/Does-everything-in-the-universe-connect?redirect_to_mweb=1 View in LinkedIn

A WORLD IMAGINED. “That doesn't mean humans have the power of telekinesis, controlling the world by what we decide in our minds. The existence we bring about with our minds is only subjective.” https://www.quora.com/Does-everything-in-the-universe-connect?redirect_to_mweb=1 View in LinkedIn

THE LOGICAL LEAP. “I can define your water bottle to actually be two things- a clear container and an opaque cap; but that doesn't make the cap suddenly separate from the container. It's all in my mind. Objectively, neither the bottle nor the person holding the bottle exist at all. Those existences also need to be defined by someone. If no internal borders are defined then only the universe with no parts exists.” https://www.quora.com/Does-everything-in-the-universe-connect?redirect_to_mweb=1 View in LinkedIn

FOREST TREES FALLING UNOBSERVED. “Thus while Newtonian physics assumed that matter objectively exists and goes on moving about even when no one's looking, and although our main tools are still geometry and particle accelerators, modern physics is as close to psychology as it is to Newtonian physics.” https://www.quora.com/Does-everything-in-the-universe-connect?redirect_to_mweb=1 View in LinkedIn

THE INFLUENCE OF MIND. “I don't mean we go around asking experimental subjects how they feel. But we do ask scientists to record what reading they remember seeing on the gauge of their instruments. Physics cannot be done without the involvement of subjective human minds. Even if you automate everything, eventually a human has to interpret the result.” https://www.quora.com/Does-everything-in-the-universe-connect?redirect_to_mweb=1 View in LinkedIn

THE SUBJECTIVITY FACTOR. “Everyone knows that human observation is colored by bias, but what most people don't realize is that this applies to scientific observations of physical phenomena too.” https://www.quora.com/Does-everything-in-the-universe-connect?redirect_to_mweb=1 View in LinkedIn

SEQUELAE. “Physicists develop their formulae to describe what they observe, but since what they observe is subjective, this subjectivity is necessarily inherent in the formulae.” https://www.quora.com/Does-everything-in-the-universe-connect?redirect_to_mweb=1 View in LinkedIn
