Even though we feel, smell, see, hear, and taste things, does that make the world we are living in real?
I would love to hear what people have to say about this. |

Some cosmologists have speculated that there are infinite parallel universes that have every imaginable possiblity.......
For example in one universe, I die in a car reck at age 19. In another, I die of old age at 80. :eyes: |

that'd be so good, why don't i live in that dimension :sadgreen:
the world exists how we perceive it so you could live in a different world than me because you perceive things differently |

If I could use the search function I'd bring up Coup's old thread called something like "Is Anything Real".
Now that was an interesting thread. :) |

Werd.
I believe in the consciousness dimension which is like a higher dimensional plane where our conscious/soul lies and is immortal. What you "perceive" is a manifestation of the "3-D" world into that higher dimension. Telekinesis is due to phenomena taking place in the consciousness dimension. |

There's no evidence that this world is real. However, when I take all the matters into account, it's either real or a damn good and detailed illusion. Therefore I am inclined to believe it is real because I don't see any reason for that sort of illusion to be created.

It's just too bad that there's no evidence of anybody ever expiriencing telekinesis. |

| Hmmm there was a really good debate on this spanning something 5 pages long in the political/debate forum. It was couched in soemthing about Iraq (go figure) but if you do a search for absolute certainty or absolute fact I'm sure you can find it. Careful though ... it delves deeply into astronomy, physics, and philosophy. |
