There are several possibilities considered in Physics today (and likely, more to come) but in the end one can be killed by radioactivity and never sensed it. The human senses are very limited, many animals have better and even more senses such as sensing electric or magnetic fields or being able to see more colours or polarised light.rowyourboat wrote: It certainly is very interesting- even more fascinating is the lates quantum theory research which seems to show that the universe seems to exist as energy/wave forms (ie not anything that can de detected by the 6 senses) unless there is an act of observation -
One could prove the existence of God in this way - and thus His non-existence (see link below).this clearly suggests that the universe disintegrates into nothingness when no one is watching!
I think they refer to two different topics.Hence we should not, according to quantum theory and kalaka sutta imagine that anything exists, in what is not sensed!
Well, you know how it is with Philosophical proves. Sometimes they are a dead end to themselves - just think of the prove of the non-existance of God.Apparently there was an interesting conversation between Einstein and Neils Bohr where the former asks the latter 'is it true that the moon doesn't exist when no one is observing it?' and the latter replies, 'can you prove that it does?'.
