 I don't think I'm in the same universe that I started in,  people I know around me drastically change personalities  from one day to the next. An elderly nursing home I'd seen  being newly built is now a  derelict structure not  resembling anything like what I'd observed being constructed  and is being used by urban explorers.  If we're inside a  biocentric universe then the programming can change and the  more you keep thinking about it the more cracks start to  show. I have seen a star in the night sky slightly get  brighter then disappear twice in the last 5 years, I was  sober on both occasions. Nothing outside of your mind is  real, reality is being constructed by some kind of  collective information that provides all the sensory data  you need to believe there is a universe with physical  particles and time.

where are we, if there is no physical world?  or are we in a  matrix thing?
 
  You mention a disappearing star, was that a signal or a  mistake by nature, a glitch?

"If i'm not me, then who the hell am I? " PKD was onto this  back in the 70s...  The main crux of this argument is that  there is no physical Universe. It's our minds that construct  it, so we observe a dualistic universe through our animal  understanding of space and time, through the substrate of  consciousness. Philosophers from the 6th century like  Gaudapada had come to the same conclusions and called it  Nonduality. 
  I don't think this 'reality engine' (or software, if you  wanted to think of it as a simulation like the Matrix) has a  mechanism or entities in control of the game, like being  deterministic. I think we are the process it's self, the  collective consciousness at the very core of the process.  Think about when you dream, you create a spacial temporal  place that has a kind of unstable time element, where you  jump from place to place and interact with people and  objects. So you alone are pretty good at making your own  convincing little world while you sleep. Anyway...i'm  banging on here, just ignore me :) thinking too much again

but when i am not asleep...all these objects keyboard,  house, trees, roads and so forth remain very stable, they  are always the same as far as I can tell. so where is this  info stored if not in a physical world thing?

if we knew that, the whole thing would probably reconstruct  it's self into something even more complex,  it never let's  us see.  Look up ' the double slit experiment' when you  observe subatomic particles like electrons that are in super  position, they behave differently. this suggests that our  consciousness is somehow manipulating reality, the  scientific term is ' collapsing the wave function '

When i was a kid i used to imagine that everything outside  of my view dematerialised into a void, obviously now i am an  adult i believe reality exists independent of my  consciousness. The idea of macro sized objects existing in a  state of flux, a suspended amalgamation of probabilities  until the observer collapses the wave function of the object  into a fixed state  is really mind blowing though. has alot  of repercussions for philosophy.

 the slit experiment :  they monitor a change in results when  a human is viewing the experiment. 
 
  when viewing somethign we are in the same system and will  have an effect...less so, if viewing a recording,of course.
 
  I have had questions regarding this. 
  what if a cat is viewing the experiment? does the same  reaction happen?
 
  and/or 
  what if whist viewing the experiment and also recording the  monitor output, one simply throws a towel over the monitor  ....Then views the recording later to see how it effected  the results.
 
  what if whilst viewing the experiment  one turns on and off  the monitor on and off on and off on and off.....does the  change happen on each switch? or does it only happen once in  a while?

i think the things you mention are essentially the observer  entangling their own probability with the can which will  make the waveform to collapse and either make the atom decay  or not, where if the cat is totally isolated no information  is passed between cat and observer i think with the towel  over a monitor something to do with causality means that its  essentially the same as viewing the cat yourself,.

   | 
i mean i wonder if a cat or other non human animal viewing  the slit experiment with a recording of the results viewed  at a later date by a human, causes these same changes. Or  does it have to be a human viewing the slit experiment in  real time with no lag for the changes of particles to  waves.
 
  also if I view the slit experiment with an analog camera and  monitor, it is near enough real time. but if i view the  experiment with a digital system there will be more  latency...so i wonder how much latency is allowed until  there is no change in the results of the slit experiment?

yeah i think any sentient being would cause the photons to  choose a path (collase the probability wave).
 
  yeah the latency is interesting idea, i'll look into it, if  all fails i'll ask my brother at the weekend he did  physics

freqy, a human doesn't have to observe the results, it's the  measurement that collapses the wave function.

is it the more you know about a particles position the less  you know about its velocity and vice versa, from what i  understand measuring something defines it because your  measuring device is bouncing photons off it collapsing the  wave function

It gets even stranger....The clues keep stacking up that the  universe isn't real . A few years ago a theoretical  physicist Dr gates  found an error correction code embedded  in a supersymmetery equation .  It was very similar to  binary correction block codes you get in Web browser's

Another point to make on the slit experimen: if the  measuring device was affecting the particles you would get a  more random pattern on the screen, but you don't. The  electron begins as a particle then  as it gets to the slit  it goes through both holes and then acts as a wave, soon as  we look it changes back to a particle.they know this as  fact. They have even conducted a more advanced experiment,  this time they observe only at microseconds before impacting  the screen. The electrons go back in time and change their  behaviour as particles.

  mappatazee said:  " freqy, a human doesn't have to observe the results, it's  the
  measurement that collapses the wave function. "
  thats what i do not fully understand. "soon as we look" with  our eyes? our equipment(cameras/CPUs/ recorders)? or does it  need to be both?
 
  So, they set up a monitoring device in the system of this  experiment,  the wire of this monitoring component (lets say  a camera) leads off to a computer or a tv screen or  recorder. "soon as we look" it goes back to acting like a  particle. 
 
  So, does a human mind need to observe  the monitoring  equipment, either in real time or within a specific time  frame, or can a camera  collapse the wave function by  itself, or a camera and a recorder, if a human views the  tape say, 1 year later? 
 
  if a camera/monitor, can do this without the need of real  time human observation, then surly this is nothing to do  with human observation.   unless the quantum thing knows we  will eventually view the recorded computer files of the  monitor equipment. But then we could destroy 50 percent of  the files we record. Then this experiment should/could only  work 50 percent of the time?

for freqy
  one of the current issues in quantum mechanics is that the  interpretation for how it actually works and why is still up  for interpretation, the Copenhagen interpretation is what is  currently used

they're using detection devices that measures light and can  detect Single photons, I imagine it's a sensor that feeds  data to another box That gives out readings,  I dont know  exactly, but I guess that's how they get the result. 
 
  so you want to know at which point does the wave function  collapse, At the particle detector equipment or the very act  of human observation ?  our intuition tells us that it's the  detector that is somehow doing it, but it's becoming more  reasonable that consciousness is central to the experiment.   There is another set-up were they use a "which way detector"  with entangled particles that proves that the equipment is  not affecting it.  It's not easy to explain how it's set up  so you'd have to look it up.

Haha I Have to wonder sometimes.  It is very hard to get  your head around these concepts.  The idea that 2 particles  can become entangled and mirror actions from any distance is  just crazy. Or if you were travelling at the speed of light  and moved through your living room and some how were able to  scan the dimensions of the room, it would be about 1" x 2"  big
