What is matter?

But wait, this is by FAR the biggest revolution Mankind has ever gone through. Nothing ever can compare to this. Why isn't the whole fucking world talking about this? Because it's disgusting? Because it's disturbing? Because the people who know this are afraid to break the news?
Sorry guys, this will make a profound dent in the lives of most of you, but I felt you have to know the truth. This is what brought Einstein's certainty when he talked about there being some kind of God(Mind). This will change this forum forever but at least we have a new direction to focus our attention.This is a small description of the last 30 years of Einstein's life:"What was it that drove him into virtual solitude, to the point in which he was essentially excommunicated from a physics community of which he was such an influential and revered leader at one time?Many historians have said that Einstein lost his sense of direction, his uncanny instincts that once guided him so precisely. Yet he never wavered in his beliefs, in his deep sense of destiny that continued to guide him to the very end of his life. Fifty-one years later there are still many unanswered questions, and no real answers have yet evolved."Edited by Agobot, : No reason given.Edited by Agobot, : No reason given.Edited by Agobot, : No reason given.

Regarding characterizations such as disgusting and disturbing, I can't really say I undertand your feelings. Were you similarly disoriented when you discovered that newspaper photographs are actually composed of many tiny dots, or that people are actually made up of many tiny cells, or that matter is made up of many tiny atoms? The underlying quantum reality does not affect the reality of the macro world of daily experience, it is merely the lowest level we've found so far of that which underlies reality, just as at one time atoms were the lowest level.--Percy

You wanted to attract attention and you did in a very cheap way. Is there anything else you want to do in this thread?

You wasted a post without contributing to the discussion. Please do not continue to do that.

So whose "world" is this? Anybody care to guess? If Einstein couldn't pull us out of the darkness, who could? I look at my wife and I know she's not really there, my kid is screaming and she's also not there, it's an illusion - there is no physical entity there, just a realistic illusion that my mind creates. I "live" in this "world" but very often lately i just break down, it ruins my sleep. Why should i trust my mind about what's real, when experience and science prove my mind is totally wrong? And having illusions in medicine equals "mentally deranged".
What does the word "mentally deranged" mean? Someone who does not share your illusion? Someone who nature could not give the same common illusion? Or the production assembly made a glitch in his brain?
What do drugs do to our perception of reality? Has anyone tried any drugs? Hard drugs that could alter your perception of "reality" completely. Like seeing dragons and people attacking you? Was it as real as our everyday life illusion(I think i know someone i could ask but it will take me a few days)?I think there are a lot of answers "hidden" in the mentally deranged persons. I never really took interest in them, but now i want to spend some time exploring their "world" and this will probably be what i'll be spending my time on in the next years.Edited by Agobot, : No reason given.Edited by Agobot, : No reason given.Edited by Agobot, : No reason given.Edited by Agobot, : No reason given.

24 hours off to consider topics and rationally discuss them.

I recommend reading anything from Vilayanur Ramachandrans. He works in the field's of Neuroscience and Psychology. Research the effects of the drug DMT(Dimethyltryptamine ), you wanna talk about mind altering...Here's an interview with an American comedian named Joe Rogan about the effects of DMT.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pE5S9mrE8Xg&feature=relatedEnjoy,--OniModerator: Sorry for off topic reply.

I thought we reached a point where we needed help from the most credible sources, so I sent emails this morning to Prof.Steven Hawking, Dr.Michio Kaku and Prof.Lisa Randall of Harvard University. Besides the obvious relevant questions about matter and reality(which happens to be the topic of this thread), I inserted links to the discussion in hope that maybe we could stir up some kind of discussion if any of the 3 responds. I'll keep you posted.

Matter is electromagnetic energy, mostly plasma, and yes it exists, but our minds project time, space, and mathematics onto the actual physical material reality.
