However their are some who wrongly believe that they can build successful theoretical models of our world based imagination or concepts that only exist in their minds. For … Read more

The mathematics of the real world

Mathematics is the primary tool many of today’s science use to define the causality of the physical laws governing of our observable universe. However it is by definition is an abstract creation of the mind and therefore is not physically connected to the observable real world, most of us believe we live in. Therefore, we … Read more

Can we influence reality?

Can we influence reality?  Some misguided scientists think we can. For example the Copenhagen model of Quantum Mechanics suggests the act observing an environment defines its reality as is shown by its interpretation of Thomson’s double-slit experiments because it holds that the myriad of probabilities it defines are unreal and only become real when their … Read more

The structure of “OUR reality”

Truth can only be found through the window of observation while “OUR reality” is determined by what we see in that window. But some say what we see in it does not define “THE reality” because of the limitation of our senses.  For example humans can only see a very small portion of the electromagnetic … Read more

Should measurement define "reality"

or should “reality” define measurement? Robert Oerter, on page 83 of his book “The Theory of Almost Everything: The Standard Model, the Unsung Triumph of Modern Physics” said “Quantum mechanics has completely undermined the mechanistic view of the universe, by removing not one but two of its foundations. First, according to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, … Read more
