[QUOTE="stevevw, post: 76760030, member: 342064"] Well if we want to find out the fundamentals of reality we have to refer to the experts, like anything I guess, like when doing an essay. But once again I don't think anyone is taking things to the extreme. Its a reasonable idea in the light of of QM and psychology one that seems to fit what is happening just as well if not better than other traditional ideas in physics and cosmology. Well its becoming more of a possibility the more time goes by and many great minds think its real and not fiction. When you say you see no evidence I assume you mean empirically. Well if that's the case of course you won't see any evidence because empirical science is not designed to see anything that is not empirical science. Height doesn't really matter as a single story building is made out of the same stuff as a skyscraper. Its not about matter in space but our experience of it. At the fundamental level a building is 99.99% empty space. But even more fundamental is that mind is behind all that we see and experience because empty space cannot produce an objective world but a mind can. Actually dreams are an important part of understanding reality. Out of dreams comes creativity and imagination and out of these comes deeper insights and truths about reality. Then you need to learn some theoretical physics and cosmology. There are scientific ideas proposed that support the idea of a simulation, the Hologram Principle, and that Mind and Information are a fundamental part of reality. All these ideas are based on the observer effect in QM and are proposed as possible ideas that can explain what exactly reality is. For example look at how virtual reality is beginning to look real to us. We could imagine that the the distant future it becomes so real people cannot tell the difference anymore. Take this further and if as it is claimed that we can make a robotic human who can experience the world then it stands to reason that a simulation with programmed conscious beings would think that they are experiencing something real.
