Late-night musings on the nature of reality

[Jericho]

I learned some interesting things that were quite thought provoking. Did you know that physical objects are not actually solid? If you go down to the molecular level, everything is composed of atoms. Each atom has a nucleus, containing protons and neutrons. If you had an atom the size of a football stadium, the nucleus would be like a marble in the center with the electron cloud occupying the rest of the space. That means that atoms are mostly empty. An object may appear solid, but it's not. Moreover, two physical objects never actually touch at the atomic level. Suppose you put your hand on a wooden table. What you actually feel is the atoms in your hand electromagnetically repelling the atoms in the table. Electromagnetism is one of the main underlying guiding forces of our universe.

Another thing is that colors do not actually physically exist. What we see as color is really just light reflecting off an object. Light is composed of electromagnetic radiation at different wavelengths. Our eyes capture these wavelengths and send signals to the brain, which interprets them as color. Color then is merely a subjective experience. That begs the question: Do we all see the same colors? Is how I see red the same as how everyone else sees red? There's really no way to know. Moreover, what would our reality look like if you could look outside of our human perception? What would it look like if you could actually see the electromagnetic radiation in its purest form? I have no idea, but I'm guessing reality looks much different than how we perceive it.

All this has me thinking on the nature of reality. When you think about it, this universe we live in is just a closed physical construct. It's governed by certain laws that act as a computer code of sorts, dictating how our universe behaves. Such a physical construct could only have been created by an outside force. As Christians, we understand that force to be God. This reality we live in is really just a shadow of a much larger reality. When we die, we leave this physical reality and move into a higher reality that is more real than our own.

Yeah! We've all seen diagrams of atoms. And there is the nucleus as a dot in the center with a circle around it and that is the atom. But the distance between the nucleus and the outer shell stuff is empty space. So if we blew it up to scale of a say, basketball sized nucleusthe distance to the outside of it would be enormous. Inside each atom is more empty space than matter. I can look at my nightstand and it looks solid, I can touch it or knock on it and it feels solid but its composition of atoms and molecules have more empty space within them than matter. So the nightstand is more not solid than it is solid. !!

Hey maybe that how some people have walked through walls?! They know it and believe it so learn to do it?

Chuck Missler had teachings on all this stuff too, I remember the videos.

This could sort of weave into the simulation theory? It's more not solid than it is solid because it is a projection? and is triggered by our nearness or expectation of finding my nightstand still here when I come in! There must be a spiritual signal from us that gets fed into the simulation and triggers things to appear and solidify...??? Something like that.

Wait a minute, I just thought of something, if it is that we are expecting to see our enviroment and everything, how come if a guy comes up behind you with a club and knocks you out from behind, it still knocks you out and didnt pass through you?! You never saw it coming, you did not expect it? Or is it that, the bad guy expected to hurt you so it happened? Could be.

Reality is better thought of as a shared dream: it's too strange to say that our imagination gets it collectively wrong.
