I want to believe that certain things are absolute but our perception can be influenced to measure it subjectively
this is a good point. But is 10cm actually absolutely 10cm or is it relative? That measurement is never truly measured in a vacuum. It is still based on our relative speed of our planet rotating and moving through space.
your visualization story is interesting. I personally do believe that a lot of these visualization scenarios rely on coincidence and confirmation bias. We tend to only take note of the times that something confirms our theory and largely ignore the times that our theories are disproven. But, as you suggested quantum mechanics has implications that often defy the laws of physics and nature - so who knows really? I'm open to anything as a possibility.
Also try see it this way, If you take two 10cm objects to be measured against each other in a vacuum, would they be inconsistent? I want to believe there is an underlying absoluteness in certain measurement even if they will fluctuate under different circumstances.
Yes, that's true, prayers and visualizations fail more than they work, sometimes maybe just 10% success rate. that's confirmation bias.
hmm. yes that is interesting. Maybe there is an absolute nature to external objects.
But like you said previously, there is a subjective nature to our perception of the external. Our sense perceptions are limited, so with that in mind I believe that we can never really experience the absolute nature of something.
yes, it is more understandable and I agree with that. Maybe it's something like consensus reality, something we developed and jointly agreed on to make sense of our perception of reality.
yeah maybe. thats certainly a possibility. All i know for certain is that life is mysterious lol
Lol..well, yes, but science keeps helping us learn and understand things better everyday.
that is true :)
