Maybe.
Maybe observation creates reality.
We know it influences reality.
So I don't know if I would call it God, but I'm definitely spiritual in a scientific way.
Yeah.
Well, that's even plausible, but that would be very narcissistic to me.
Well, there's no way of proving it right or wrong, actually.
I think most kids think that initially, but then you realize it's probably the least likely explanation for the world.
But there is some truth to that in terms of physics.
I think there's a better than 50% chance that this is simulated.
That's another way.
I think it's probably a simulation.
Certainly the world that we think it is is not the world we think it is.
How can you be so sure?
Because when you get down to measuring it at the fundamental level, reality doesn't exist the way we think it does.
Things are created, things change just by human observation.
That is the weirdest thing that you could ever find in science.
I don't know why we aren't talking about it more.
This reality cannot be true if me looking at this DNA molecule here affects the actual particles inside it.
Yeah, you create realities of particles at least, maybe even macroscopic things, just by existing and having consciousness and having eyes and sensing it.
