Solipsism

©2018, Olan L. Smith

In the age of the internet many of our friends, especially friends of our expertise, are just 1s and 0s interpreted on a screen; we never meet, never touch, or even exchange letters; so I have extended the idea to everything we see and do touch. In philosophical terms, this is a solipsism where only the mind exists; but I would take it further, if the mind doesn't exist either, it too is an illusion.

It is not worth worrying about, for example don't stand on the tracks to prove the train is not real; if it seem real in thought, then most likely you will not change the outcome of the event of the train hitting your body (although Jesus hinted that we can change outcome by thinking when he said that if we believe we could say to the mountain, jump into the sea and it would). It is not so much complicated to understand that reality can be incorporated into a "Sims" world where we are just constructs of a quantum computer game, after all, if we search the depths of our realms all we find is quanta, not matter, and if a sims character could think and explore its reality, all it would find is a world built of two dimensional pixels. If it, the Sims, could then dig deeper; it would see the computer codes that created it. So, it is with theoretical physics, we find beneath the 3D realm of quantum coding that creates all things in the universe, there is not one thing we call "the root of all mass." We are built out of nothing.

It can be comprehended, and theory and science is getting very close with the invention of quantum computer, but the quantum computer doesn't calculate, and it opens doors into the very fabric of the universe. Someday, we will think, oh that was simple to understand, like how simple relativity is; it is more of a truism today than a mystery.
