How...scientific

MrProtein

appreciate it.

Can't be scientific. For his statement to be anything scientific, it must be proveable. It must be able to be verified by science.

Othewise its just another hypothesis

I would NOT recommend "what the bleep" I watched this movie with great anticipation, I had heard great things about it from my non-scientists friends.

Upon watching the movie I discovered that is a peice of new-age garbage.

They have real scientists who present mostly factual information, which is good, but then they interpret the science in a completely non-scientific way. They jump to ridiculous conclusions, yet to those who aren't trained in the sciences it can sound very reasonable.

I would just like to say that anything scientific is by definition not proveable. Nothing in reality can be "proved" but only disproved. Science is the continued narowing of our view of reality bythe process of disproving.

To BillyBob: thank you for this video. Very intriging (spelling?). I'm a big fan of both Greg Bradden and Robert Anton Wilson. I like to ponder about what reality is because in my own reality tunnel the only thing I can be certain of is that I exist. Everything else is a leap of faith.

okay heres my simple evaluation of the existance of life. Here are my peramiters. Conseciousness I presume to be the same as Self Awarness. If I look at my self in the mirror, I automatically know it is me. Instantly. I can percieve me, and then my surroudnings. We look at the world from a persective as ME. That means that we acccept our individual bodies, they themselves a collection of cells, and know that I am them. Essentially, because we have selfawareness, we need to be aware of SOMETHING right?
Since existence exists, then I can therefore reason that I am, and you are. We may be connected, but we still reason as the system of "I am I, you are you" We do not HAVE to share our advice, opinions or facts with others. That is our choice.

Hey, maybe we're all just being dreamed up by Joe Schmoe on some Tuesday night? He's just sleeping away, dreamin'... and here we all are. Trippy?

Or maybe your mother is dreaming, and your life is just part of her dream?

Maybe that guy you passed on the street last week was dreaming... and your entire life is all just to compensate for those three seconds that you walked by?

Trippy.
