[quote:Anonymous Coward 74473196:MV8zNDg3MjEzXzYyMjIzMzQzXzFBMkE2MEYz] [quote:Anonymous Coward 73130123:MV8zNDg3MjEzXzYyMjIyODUwXzJFRDE4ODhD] [quote:Angel Sempiternal:MV8zNDg3MjEzXzYyMjIyNjYwX0Y2MkY2NDU=] [quote:Zantrick:MV8zNDg3MjEzXzYyMjIyNjA2X0IwNUJGNEY2] Yes I understand your reasoning but according to the double slit experiment and what Angel just said everything is everywhere and can also be nothing and nowhere. When there is no observer the electrons stay in wave form; endless possibilities. It isn't untill the process is measured that the wave function collapses into "reality" So like I said if you had no connection to this world ViA your senses and you were in said woods and the said tree falls on top of your head what happens. [/quote] I think quantum physics and the slit test prove there must be an observer for this planned net. If there is no observer than nothing exists. But there will always be an observer and that observer is more you than you realize ;-) [/quote] Winner!!! Science has proven this answer already. An observer must be present. Yet, does a beaver count as an observer? Or an ant? Virus? [/quote] Correct, no observation means nothing gets rendered, but more specifically it is history not observation that is important. If the observer of the tree/forest were to die and there were no history, no recordings, no photographs or other records of the tree/forest and nobody else had ever seen this tree/forest then in that place anything could exist depending on the next observer to arrive there....the new observer may not even see a tree/forest depending on their rule sets.

Imagine for a minute if you will; you we're able to disconnect all of your senses absolutely no sight absolutely no sound absolutely no taste absolutely no smell and absolutely no feeling.
Where are you?
Are you still you?
Do you still exist?
Let's say some comes and shoots you in the head while you are laying there wherever.
You don't hear the shot fired you don't feel the bullet penetrating your skin you don't smell the sulfur from the round you don't see into the persons eyes that's pulling the trigger.
Do you still die?
How would you know?
