What Is, and What Is Not, Real?
Manage episode 230810318 series 2118463
Pretty much all of us are thoroughly conditioned to think that the physical world is what’s real. Less tangible things, like thoughts and feelings and flashes of inspiration and intuition, are relegated to some other category. They’re certainly real to us, but we tend to call them fleeting, perhaps, or ephemeral, or just intangible. And experience… well, our experience is obviously real, but most of us would find it pretty hard to define. Let's look into this question of what's real, and allow ourselves to be informed by quantum theory, arguably the most battle-tested theory in all of science.
