hey b i have a theory about life and i do not know if it has an official name or not, the theory is that nothing exists that is outside of our field of view, think of it, how do you know if your car exists if you none of your 5 senses can know that its there if your computer was turned off and you looked away from it without touching it how do you actually if it currently exists or not? if you have no way of actually knowing?
That's actually how it works.
Everything is actually a jumble of probability waves that don't collapse on a fixed reality until they're observed. Your car is both in the driveway and has been stolen until you go observe it.
>>704117061
what im trying to say is how do you know if something exists if none of your 5 senses can "observe it"
>>704117205
im sure there's a wikipedia page on it
>>704117358
yeah i need to find it and who created it and what type of people think of it

>>704117205
you can infer its existence by observing its interactions with its surroundings.
for example:
>dat dark matter.
>dat dark energy.
here's another one: even if you were blind, you could still infer the existence of the sun by stepping into and out of shade.
you dont have to see, or touch, or smell, or hear the sun, to infer its existence.
are you 12 years old by any chance?

Nothing is proven real until perceived but we can assume through our perspective that things do happen outside of the microcosm of our lives, we could debate whether other people exist or not but that would defeat the point as we would enter an endless loop of if anything is real, just do what I do and go do what you want when you want, whether it is offensive or not because in the grand scheme we all die anyways

>>704118056
thats exactly my point you fucking pretween.
This is similar to 'Cogito Ergo Sum'; I think, therefore I am. When all we can really know is our own mind, and that is the result of easily mislead perceptions like sight and sound, what can we really know is real? Well, we can't say that anything physical is real as it could simply be part of our imagination. Similarly, we could be imagining other people as being sentient when they're actually not. At that point it appears that nothing is real. The exception to this is your self; you are thinking enough to ponder this question, which means you have free will and a sense of self to some degree. Simply by thinking, you've proven you do in fact exist, even if only in concept. Everything else can be assumed to potentially not exist, though to think that so rigidly is somewhat missing the point Descartes was trying to make.

I'd flip that on it's head and say everything matters in a world without meaning. I don't think it's that nihilistic. For me, the fact we're so insignificant and meaningless is an excuse to assign our own meaning. As far as I'm concerned, that's trying to treat others how I'd like to be treated. I get where you're coming from with the whole 'nothing matters, don't worry about upsetting people', but I figure I don't want to make any else's pointless shitty existence any more pointless or shitty.
Live and let live, because nothing else really matters.
>>704117205
How do you know your 5 senses (*cough 21 *cough*) are adequate enough to perceive all of reality? You already know that frequencies of both sound and light exist outside your ability to perceive them.
How do you know reality is as it seems? Color doesn't actually exist. Your brain interprets signals from your eye and creates the color you see. So, if you were to see my yellow the way I see yellow, you might think it's a totally different color.
How do you know this isn't a simulation and what we perceive is simply what we're programmed to perceive?
How do you know you're not the only thing that actually exists and everything outside of you is actually just an interpretation or manifestation of your own mind?

Therefore Hitler didn't do anything wrong.

>>704118628
To touch on the simulation thing; if we ever became technologically advanced enough to create a sim which 100% mirrored reality AND had the gumption to make it, then chances are we are currently living in a sim.
The first simulation would mirror the real world to the point of building a sim that mirrors their sim with 100% accuracy. That simulation would do the same, and that one the same and so on. You're left with simulations that create other simulations endlessly over time.
Given that this is the case, the chance of being in any one simulation or reality is 1/inf. If everything described here is capable of happening, the chance of us being real is 1/inf.
Simulation (probably) confirmed. We matrix now.

>>704119150
>>704119002
Here's the thing: it doesn't have to mirror anything. The creators of the first simulation would have 15 eyes and tentacles, but created artificial intelligence good enough to be capable of original thought outside of it's original code. That intelligence would still only have the ability to perceive the world it's confined within.
A simulation doesn't mean there are players controlling us; it could mean we are thinking beyond our original programming. That actually makes it MORE likely that we are a sim.

>>704117061
Kind of. It's not that it doesn't exist. But it's moving around to fast, that it's practically random. Except if you get *really* good, you can time it so that when things crystallize in your field of view, it lands on the proper version of reality you were going for.
>>704116403
You can infer existence by observing the effects things have on one another. this has the advantage of occurring outside of our perspective and perception, therefore we can be sure that things exist.
take for example a leaf. You see this leaf, you know it's there. Now, if you were to suddenly appear 100 miles away from it, by your logic, it would not exist anymore, therefore when you returned to it, it would be in the same spot. However, in the time you were away, outside forces have caused it to move from where it was.
This is how we confirm existence.

Just because someone uses the word "quantum" doesn't mean they're addressing advanced topics. Quantum mechanics was advanced maybe a century ago. If you don't understand at least the basics of probability mechanics at this point, then it's nobody's fault but your own. To put it into a colloquial analogy;
Quantum mechanics today is what steam engines were a century ago.

When you turn around, the tree is in a state of superposition. The probability that it will still be there when you turn around is very very high, but it's also possible that a car slammed into it, a lumberjack chopped it down, etc... You only know what state it was in while observing it.

If i left my car and a nigger broke into it, then my car is still real, even when I'm away.

not to encourage him, but don't think you can have a priori knowledge that the world exists in this case. The argument is literally that there is no such thing as a priori knowledge of existence.,

Schrödinger cat - where the lack of observation leaves the cat in 2 distinct states, neither of which exists until observed.
>>704116403
When I was a kid I had this crazy idea that what if reality and its laws changed constantly?
Take as an example, a universe where every ten seconds it randomly reforms in some way, except that all living things in that universe wouldn't remember the transformation and perceive it as if things had always been that way.
You know, the speed of light did vary at one point in scientific history. What if there are no constants?
>>704120747
No, it leaves the particles linked to the poison in two states. Even Schrodinger did not think the cat would literally be in two states at the same time. You could even suggest the cat counts as an observer.
>>704119968
The implication I understood from studying quantum mechanics is that the unifying field is consciousness. That the most elementary "particle" is in fact board states of various universes. It is not a question of whether a packet of energy goes one way or the other; the question is, what is the probability of experiencing universe in which it would always have gone the way it did?
Another way to look at it is to consider the double slit experiment from the perspective of the wave packet; when the slits are sufficiently small, the energy packet no longer has the physical capability of distinguishing the number of slits; hence why consciousness is the unifying field. Acquiring which way information in this experiment is impossible, because from the perspective of the energy packet, both slits are identical. If consciousness means a method for conveying information through space, then it is no exaggeration to say that quantum mechanics has completely turned reductionism on its head.
Before its detected, an energy packet travels in every direction possible. After its detected, an energy packet has only ever traveled in exactly the direction it needed to be detected where it did. Thus, physical reality is the process by which our minds continually select predetermined realities out of an infinite number of possibilities. You can't phrase that English. Choosing predetermined reality? Which is it? Choice, or predestination?
But it's what's happening. Very interesting stuff, from my perspective.
>>704120747
yeah there is no true answer till observed and by this logic everything does exist?
>>704119712
The double slit experiment is a way of understanding of light behaves as matter or as a wave. That has nothing to do with understanding of reality exists outside of our perception or if the reality we perceive is objective or subjective.
>>704120550
Its interesting to note that solid matter isnt actually solid. Matter is supposedly 99% empty space.

'we' meaning people who aren't actively involved in the field or study.
stop saying 'we'.
it's like living in a city with a football team and saying 'our team' ...most people don't follow your team, yet you call it 'our team', just because we all live in the same city?
no. not everyone falls into the 'we' category. but because you're stuck there you try to incorporate everyone in it. that's a horrible way of thinking that leads to mediocrity.

Yeah, I can see that. Sounds like how simulations work to be honest; only dealing with stuff as it needs to be 'worked out'.
This Thread is starting to piss me off there is a difference between philosophy that is being used to enhance one's understanding of himself and his environment and then there is philosophy for the sake of complicating that reality because it's cool to imagine a world that doesn't exist it is extremely obvious that shit can exist without you seeing it touching it feeling it tasting it or smelling it.
>>704120788
I like this theory best, is there a name for it?
>>704121085
OPs argument is that literally all knowledge is acquired by direct observation - and that we have no way of proving beyond a doubt that object exists outside of our experience.

I think it is a simulation, but more like a dream version of a simulation. I think trees are machines; but more advanced and of a different quality than human constructed machines. In other words, is reality a simulation? Sure. Is it a virtual reality computer simulation? Definitely not. No amount of digital computers as we know them would be capable of replicating our universe as we know it.
A new technology entirely would have to be developed; something that was more advanced than machines, like how trees are more advanced than machines. Perhaps some kind of thinking machine, that was organic in nature, and utilized analogue information as well as digital information. Ohwait, that's what we are.
We *are* the simulation.

>>704122829
Well fuck me my head hurts now.
>>704123076
well after you acquire a fuck ton of student loan debt you want to think that it was worth it so if you can set yourself above everyone else because your "smarter than them" then it all seems worth it so he has to put everyone down that he can and bolster himself up like a little faggot,or it's bait
>>704123291
see
>>704122301
my god. is everyone on this thread a fucking newfag?
The funniest part of the simulation idea is if it's real, questioning the existence of the simulation and/or realizing it exists is part of the simulation.
The head is sucking the ass in into a never ending loop. .
>>704123429
nah, i worked full time for my education. but tell us more about student loan debt. you are the expert :)
>>704123431
How the hell are u so sure its bait, mr oldfag over here
>>704123360
Already posted it in a picture but just gonna leave this whole mess on something which sums my thoughts on all this up pretty well. Also you should all watch Rick and Morty if you haven't already as it touches on this kind of thing all the time.

damn bro you really hurt him with that one. too bad he was trolling us the entire time and we've been replying for over an hour with meaningful things all about feelings and life...
oh well we'll get him next time!
that faggot!
how to spot a newfag:
they can't spot samefagging
and you can samefag them into thinking you're a different fag
and then you can different fag them into biting bait.
dab smoking stoners are cute. any of you boys have tits? tits or gtfo, you bitches know the rules.
>>704123868
But if you're responding to me, what's to say you're not getting trolled by me? You're just as retarded as any of us bud. Come wallow in the shit with us, it's where you belong.
newfags, see those 4 numbers divided by "/" between...learn what those mean and learn to count when you reply. that's your reality here.
/thread.
>>704124112
because you're still here, and this is my thread! i've already won
finally a real discussion on reality and what really is and what really isn't. watching people figure it out first fucking hand.
>>704118441
wow just watch that episode 5 mins ago while comcast was down.
My friend (cybernetics expert) tried to explain it to me. Didn't make any sense. He said just what you said. You look away and it's gone, so it doesn't exist anymore. How does it work though? What is the actual theory? We're just projecting what we see or we're part of a brain kinda connecting signals to each other?
>>704124338
yeah, my favorite is the one where the heads show up and force earth to be part of a music show like americas got talent, losers planets get destroyed.
>>704124527
Shit on the floor. Time to get schwifty in here.

you showed up after everyone left...there is still some popcorn left, but mostly only a musty basement smell and some resin in the dab bong.
It's called narcism.
You think you're somehow more special than a tree or a fucking rock. In reality you're just as part of the world as npcs are part of games.

1st poster is right. Quantum physics says that everything is both everywhere and nowhere, and only one we apply observation does it become the most probable reality. Look at the experiment where they fire a single particle at a wall with two slits. The single unobserved particle goes through both holes hits itself and bounces in a random direction. But if you watch (observe) it the particle goes through one hole and hits the same spot every time.
so i guess we solved OP's question and in summary:
watch more rick and morty
season 3 coming out soon.
oh and some guy trolled a lot of people and made them leave.
If a tree falls in the woods, and no one is around, does it make a sound?
mahayana vs theravada
Schroedinger
It's in an old idea.
Would /b/, God, a tree, suffering, yourself exist if no one was here, using their senses, to perceive it and build it with the electrochemical neural networks of the brain?
Does it really matter?
>>704125049
>fucking
there is an entire discussion on this like an hour ago here. but w/e i guess you can now be 'the guy that mentioned it' now...congrats. someone get this kid one of the trophies we give everyone who participates.
>>704125108
In the end and doesnt even matter
>>704125078
It's been a wild ride.
>>704125226

>>704125580
kek, still waiting on 7 days to die alpha 15...fuckin alphas.
>>704125693
but seven days to die turned into complete shit last time i saw it. They have done tons of work on The Long Dark. So far my longest run is 78 days with 44% explored (On the current version).
>>704125580

>>704125829
true. the best way to play alphas is different games a night with a good group of people.

Yes and everybody will one day be forgotten. Even Obama, Putin, Hitler, Justin Bieber and Michael Jackson.
So never do things you don't want. Create the life that makes YOU fell yhe most comfortable and happy inside.
Even if it is living in in ur moms basement jacking off all day, dont feel bad about it.

>>704117576
This comment is so fucking wrong, what even made this guy want to try and be a dick on the internet with his bad examples and wrong ideas
>>704116403
That's kinda silly imo. What are the chances that of all the stuff to exist, there's not something that exists that it outside our range of observation. Most obviously would be things that we didn't evolve a sense for. I'd say it's rather likely there exists at least one form of radiation that is imperceptible.
You're placing value on human consciousness when we have no reason to believe there's anything special about us. We're just biological machines that self-replicate and therefore continue to go on existing as the algae clinging to a rock in space we are.

because it's got a unique manufacturers ID, came from a factory in which materials were physically loaded onto a press. If the company that physically handled whichever components can account for its existence that just blows your shitty theory out of the water.
