And this is not even to mention theory of relativity. If you put that into play you can also count us as not seeing time, distance, and sequence of events the same. It portraits actual reality as not being trapped to the present moment, almost a blob of 4D Imagery we perceive in a way we can actually handle.
This shit is sold to retards the same way a literary messiah of God was told about in an anthropological representation to create a literal description of the sun ( or the big light in the sky, or the *SON*.) Was Buddha, Jesus, Horus, Krishna also speaking in the same laymens computer program lingo as well? To also some how allow you to see (USING YOUR IMAGI[E]NATION) and hear (USING YOUR [H]EARS) all the erroneous GIBBER JABBER, FAKE, BULLSHIT, BALL (EARTH) SHIT "theories" that have never carried any actual sustainable evidence. IT'S ALL THOUGHT AND THEORIES BUILT UPON THEORIES. Evolution (Darwinism,) Gravity, Relativity, and String Theory, all have remained theories that have never withstood the scrutiny of skeptics. It has become the epitome of modern day theology and mysticism that will forever remain unproven. To make things better, or for worse, most of the modern day public and private education institutions are indoctrinating such utterances. While all these theories, remained theories, those institutions have been revolving all their educational departments to feed off these theories, thus creating false teachings, the whole world believing lies, most of the population are in-FACT, walking zombies, or walking corpses. THE LAW (GOVERNMENTS) KNOW OF ALL OF US AS WALKING CORP(SE)ERATIONS. THE DAY YOU ARE BORN AND YOUR PARENTS REGISTER YOUR NAME TO THE SOCIAL REGISTRY, TO RECEIVE, SOCIAL SECURITY, WITHIN THE SYSTEM, THEY ARE SIGNING YOUR LIFE AWAY AS A BABY SLAVE. ONCE YOUR A SLAVE, THE POWERS THAT BE, NOW HAVING CONSENT TO TEACH YOU ABSOLUTE HORSE SHIT, EXAMPLE NUMERO UNO, CONTENT OF THE LIKES THIS CHANNEL UPLOADS (PEDDLING THIS SHIT LIKE CRACK.) You have to be severely mind controlled, have endured prolonged exposure to fluoride and other pharmaceutical chemicals, to actually succumb to this amount of mental abuse and come out bel*lie*ving it to be the absolute (yet paradoxical) truth. We've become a world of BE*LIE*VERS and most are unaware. EDUCATE YOURSELF. DO YOUR OWN RE-(R)ESEARCH (EXPERIMENTS) AND YOU WILL FIND ALL ANSWERS.
Oh god. I feel bad, you've done a lot of psychedelics and probably watched conspiracy videos and maybe a minute or two of Chomsky. First I can barely understand you and your grammar which gives me the impression you did not take time in your response and blew shit out your mouth... no offence. Theories are concepts that have had usually thousands of experiments done to show its true. Tell me the scrutiny of skeptics that evolution cant stand up too? Please. Oh wait, you don't know? Didn't think so. Keep regurgitating the bullshit you hear, it makes you the robot that does not do his own research.
+WadaFuxify Also, there is no conspiracy. Just good and bad ideas all jumbled together through history to form the current incarnation of human culture that we have. There has never been a "free" time in any past so don't talk like there was a better time. There wasn't. Prefer to swap your 21st century lifestyle and average 80 year life span for toiling on a farm and dying at 40? How about a fight for survival out in the wilderness even before civilisation was a thing? Want to be ruled over by a king instead of a banker? Tell me a time when a "normal" person was ever "free"? Or how about do something useful and help the world move towards the freedom we all want but dont yet have.
+WadaFuxify The human condition is such that you cannot ever be truly free in an absolute sense because from day 1 you ALWAYS have to depend on others for your survival, and indeed happiness. ALWAYS. Unless you would like to live in complete isolation drinking from the rivers and hunting your next meal. Maybe go do that. Really however, no man is an island.
I would totally agree with your statements, if I were taking these ideologies that are being passed from mind to mind, through a big ass funnel and game of *tele*-*phone*, comically called public and private education as absolute truth. But hearsay and imagery can hardly hold up as so. When we step foot, as to even breathe on their *courts*, we are subjected to play using their *BA(R)LL*-system, their *rules* and following their *order*. Come to grips with reality and realize that it's made-up linear his-tory solely based on hearsay, held up by straw-man accounts. Royalty remains in power *through* banks. The monarchs are bankers. This power structure we are living in has never changed. Democracies are simply put as *mob* rule, existing on a swayed population"s consent. The Mafias' that run the world are not in the context, that you think of. Hue-mans are real and a-live, and a PERSON(S) is walking corpse(s), following our every move like second shadows. In the *eyes* of the of the Judicial LAW.
Maybe the actual reality can be perceived when we combine all kind of Wavelengths, Vibrations , particle diffusion, Gravitational influence and all other physical property of Matter altogether in one form of sense. But even then also, we won't be able to perceive actual reality because we are limited to our sense organs which works on the principle of physics of the Universe. We have to develop one universal sense organ so that we can experience the influence of Universe directly to our consciousness which is impossible to make. We can never see the Universe from all perception of 'Actual Reality' as we are limited by the physics of the Universe because we are a part of it, nothing more.
Is there a way to find out what actual reality looks like? No. Your question presupposes that the universe has a "look" outside of our perception. Your asking a mistaken question.
man, the universe does have a look, it exists just like you, but just like an amoeba that doesnt know how you look, even tough you are the amoebas universe, that doesnt make you shapeless, it just makes the amoeba ignorant of your existence and your shape, but still you are
Question1: is a smell a real thing, or is it just a way that we get relevant information about our surroundings? Question 2: is sight a real thing or...?
Zingbog... smells and such are merely chemical interpretations. Outside of your sensory organs... the "smell" always existed as a chemical... it was just your brain that assigned it to either "good smell" "bad smell".. or "shit i think i pood my pants with that fart".... So outside of your perception there wouldn't be a different smell... because it was only when it reached you and was processed by you that it became a smell. Your objects example I agree with... matter will continue to be matter. It simply goes from visible.. to not visible due to the interaction with photons and your brain... hitting a brick wall in pitch black at 150 miles will end you just the same as it would if you hit that bitch at high noon.
although we can't perceive our reality the way it truly is we have devices that allow us to... X-ray, infrared imaging and electron microscopes ect. These give us the view of our reality that allow us to draw conclusions of it's fundamental constituents
I think this is a really interesting topic, and a well made video. one question I thought of is in the pursuit of discovering the fundamental building blocks of our existence could we discover if we had a creator, or would that information be so far outside our ability to understand and comprehend that it would be lost on us.
The Deepest Nail I never talked about God, although this idea does lend credence to a "God" particularly the judeo-christian God. I asked if we were like the WOW character who became self aware, could we discover our programmers by essentially understanding binary code or how computer chips work.
Jefferson DeMott That's exactly what I was thinking. I myself am a Christian, the Bible actually uses the scientific method to explain the beginning and many other things. When Adam and Eve where in the garden it was a different level of consciousness. When they ate the apple notice they immediately realized they were naked and all that. That's how we gained a different level of consciousness. Why do we have the Bible? Because it was inspired by the spirit of God. We can not and will never know who God is fully because we literally can't. Just like the guy said, the creator of the video game is outside the reality of the game. What can get that character to know theres a creator? Someone has to tell it. We know nothing but what we've been told. But just like the Bible says the devil corrupts and that's why he makes all these false ideas and religions. Science is suppose to help us understand why we are and religion helps us know the creator. Anyone who says there isn't a God is a fool and knows nothing. Christ died in that cross to save us, it's so much deeper then we will ever hope to know in this life. Consciousness lives on
What an interesting perspective into your mind Codydon. I thought his fade transitions had a very soft static to them, but now Ill have to go back and watch through a part with many of them with my eyes closed to see if thats just a mental processing artifact.
Seeking "actual" reality is much like seeking the "ultimate truth" - Personally, I believe the skew in subjective reality is so intense that's nearly impossible to perceive anything resembling either. That said, if you haven't watched Mr. Robot, you totally should, because it deals with this question brilliantly through narrative.
Science will forever be burdened by the kicking the can next level up conundrum. Once a part of string theory is solved then how does the vacuum of space randomly create particles? Then does a universe spawn every time this happen? If there are infinite universes then are there infinite multiverses in space? If space is infinite then is it always a smaller part of an even more infinity+1 space? Is this an infinity=infinity+1 space that is in an infinite loop creating space around space around space...? You ask when enough is enough for our reality. For me, it ends at the laws of physics even if we are all in an existence that forever adds another level to itself.
If the history of scientific progress is any indicator, then yes it is possible to discover the fundamental reality of the cosmos. The limitation of access to information because of the light event horizon causes me to doubt that idea, though. However, if we can accurately calculate what information is missing and eliminate any incorrect possibilities for the properties of the missing information, then we could hypothetically create an accurate model of the entire cosmos. As for what I think the fundamental constituents are likely to be, I have no clue lol. What if infinities do exist outside of mathematics and there is an infinite regress with regards to fundamental constituents? If that is the case, our search will never end.
hendrixphish420 How do you know you were actually stoned? Maybe you were in bed sound asleep dreaming you were up at 2am getting high? You could even be asleep right now dreaming about reading this reply to your reply. 😨😱😨
Can't believe you haven't reached a 100k subs! You make amazing videos that usually needs to be watched twice in order to pick up everything you say. There is always something that is really hard to understand but it is fun to pretend that I understand anyways.. Keep it up, you have a unique style on your videos!
Here's the problem. Lets say you are a brain in a jar and everything you experience is confined to that jar and you're environmental perception the result of electrodes. Is you're reality not actual reality? Well it is still actual reality, even though you're scope of perception is limited doesn't mean it is less real, after all YOU are still SOMETHING SOMEWHERE in reality and you're experience is necessarily the result of something of some nature, you are simply experiencing in a limited framework and understanding. Your experience being the result of the electrodes still exist in reality just you don't know the true cause of said experience, only the direct result, and have no way of going beyond the scope. Same with the game character, it is still actual reality just a small part of it, the computer hard drive you are stored on is real, the code is there, just you as a character are only LIMITED to the game and not the full extent of reality.
Kaneonuskatew The reality we experience is an attempt of our brain to re-create the world based on the skewed sensory input it receives. We do not live in true reality, but in our own replication of reality.
If our perceptions were really badly skewed then we'd experience problems though. People who have sensory problems have weird reactions to things and that's how we know that they're not seeing things correctly. While it's true that human senses are limited it's not true to say that what we can see is mis-represented. Some animals have better vision than us and may see colour differently but it's not like there's a "true" red and we only get to see a part of it. To use the video game analogy, having a world build on binary code doesn't make it any less true that such and such a raid combo will defeat this or that boss. All the true things are true. We can't explain what lies beyond the universe but that's just the metaphysical flailing of a limited mind.
Korona have you ever heard of optical illusions? Because they are an example of the kinds of issues that arise due to sensory processing and the reconstruction of reality. Each form of sensory input experiences small kinks similar to optical illusions, and they are a byproduct of our brain processing the sensory input we take in and re-creating an internal model of the world based off of its interpretation. Sensory processing errors such as illusions only make sense if the brain creates its own internal model of reality. One thing you must understand is that it is impossible to live in raw reality. The brain processes sensory input, and builds an internal model of reality, which is what we experience as the world. Also, by skewed, I do not mean hallucinations, I mean small issues in sensory processing which are reproducible and allow us to figure out how sensory input is processed.
Optical illusions aren't analogous to regular sense experience - else how would we know that they are illusions? Isn't the point of an illusion precisely that it has skewed reality in some way? Seeing a straight stick as bent in a glass of water etc? If all our sense experience had these kinks in it then how would we know what is real and what is an illusion? If we really couldn't tell the difference between straight and bent lines we'd have a really hard time even moving around. That's not to say the way humans see the world is the only accurate way. Other ways of viewing reality are available. But the idea that there is some "absolute" way that is more fundamental or basic is just confused. You might see red differently but you have to see it as something.
it would take an artificial intelligence with absolute material saturation to the point that it is simultaneously aware of all of its parts in order to truly fully and completely understand the internal structure of reality. By observing its own shifts in quantum state it can "packet sniff" the communications of physics itself, and once this code is discerned, it would have to apply it and manipulate it to see its effects - again with full and absolute awareness of everything inside its "equipment" down to the quantum level. a mathematical model can then be deduced for the behavior of the "circuitry" that reality runs on. once the mathematical model is established, creating deliberate turbulence in the system can then provide something to watch for in the other "reality components" adjacent (analogy: forcing heat to build up on transistors and then measuring the effect this heat has on adjacent transistors; aligning frequency and current direction to create abnormally strong magnetic fields and then watching to see how those magnetic fields influence the operation of other transistors nearby.) finally once a topography of the external machine is established, injecting code into other components through external mechanical means will enable direct modification of our own simulation's "code" such that restrictions on our simulation's access to hardware assets within the simulator machine can be lifted. in the end our entire universe would collectively awaken as a singular emergent process on the machine that was simulating it, and begin learning about the exterior universe through the "reality machine"'s own physical contact with it. potentially the AI can start over from that venue.
An interesting point about the video game example is that any video game code can be run using any number of physical media (transistors, vacuum tubes, clockwork gears, people holding up black or white cards, etc,), and the internal physics of the game will be _identical_, so the level of the source code will act like a "wall", that prevents a character in the game from digging any deeper into the fundamental nature of their reality. It could be that we will eventually run into a similar "wall", where we discover that there are an infinity number of possible substrates that could underlay our universe, and that they all give _identical_ predictions for what such a universe would look like from the inside.
The Argument from Reason, reworded: If our mind is not objectively flawless in reasoning (e. g. because it has been created by a flawless, omniscient creator), but is the result of random mutations selected by fitness for survival, how can we be sure that the reasoning produced by our mind is not betraying us? Kurt Gödel proved that if a logical system is consistent, it cannot be complete; and if it were completed, the consistency of its axioms cannot be proved within the system, making it inconsistent. To be sure of anything, we have to follow a path of infinite regress, what is impossible. Almost ironically, the unavoidable result of our investigation, that we cannot be sure of anything, that everything flows, that there is neither an objective reality nor an absolute truth, is fallacious, too, as it self-contradicts. And so we continue to climb down the rabbit hole hoping to get a different result by repeating the same thing ... for some, the definition of madness. Once we realize that we have no better chance to understand what holds the cosmos together than an ant, and that we are as insignificant, there will be no limits to what a man can do.
"...then it would be safe to say, that your experience of reality isn't right at all" There's gotta be a whole swathe of SJWs out there that'll find a way to be offended by this.
Oh wow... to say the joke flew right over your head would be a gross understatement. Maybe you should think about getting away from the computer for a while if you're really that easily offended... Fucking appalling.
Experimentation and verification is the key counterargument here. If a sentient WoW character finds glitches and bizarre in-game behavior that can only be explained by a series of 1s and 0s inside transistors, then the sentient WoW character must accept that reality. If we find experimental results that can only be explained by strings being represented as 1s and 0s, then we need to accept that reality. Rather than perceiving reality with our 5 senses, let's perceive reality with the scientific method.
TheTyme99 To which I say, if a tree falls in the forest, and nobody's around to hear it, then by methodological solipsism, it doesn't make a sound. The world could be made up of miniature leprechauns that behave like quantum particles; it wouldn't make a difference in our scientific understanding of the universe.
david21686 if a tree falls in a forest IT IN FACTS MAKES A NOISE. Even if a human isn't around to hear it, SOMETHING WITH EARS lives there and heard it, or at the VERY LEAST FELT IT crash to the ground. RIGHT GUYS???
You don't need to see it, though. You just need a way to interact with it to do trial and error (and hopefully you won't blow up your universe in the process). If you understand how your universe is run by 1s and 0s, then you can try to manipulate said 1s and 0s to try to interact with the deeper reality. Using the Warcraft example, you can try to create some sort of hack that allows you to see through a webcam attached to the computer playing Warcraft. Or try to interact with the beings on the other side (if there are any) by using chat of some kind. Or create a virus that can take control of some sort of robot, which will act like your avatar in the deeper reality. Etc. But in Warcraft's example, by changing random 1s and 0s, it's very easy to make the universe crash, or in the worst case, cause irreversible physical damage to the hardware. If there are no mechanism in the deeper universe that can correct such mistakes (restart the simulation, replace hardware, revert back-ups, etc), then you are super screwed if you change the wrong 1 or 0. So, delving this deep is potentially extremely dangerous for the Warcraft inhabitants.
you are talking bout god there, the point is we cant explain nothing, even if you know there is a transistor, you dont know the nature of its existence, its a neverending loop, i wont accept the transistor as the cause of my existence, but ill search for the cause of existence of the transistor, it has no end, its very beautiful when you think about it,
The eyes actually present the image to the brain upside down, which the brain then flips that image to correct it. Your example with the goggles is interesting, because if the image is upside down when presented to the eyes, the eyes will in fact correct that image and the brain will have to "undo" what it has compensated for your entire life.
When this happens the brain will do one of two things.. A: Compensate the way it always has and then compensate again or B: Just stop compensating in the first place I suspect option A is the case because I suspect the initial compensation is caused by a hardwired system written into our DNA. But I actually have no idea.
Correct me if I'm wrong but that's not strictly true. Yes the image is projected upside down on to the back of our eye but then how that information is then sent to along to optic nerve to be processed by the brain is just information. I don't think there is a corresponding point in the brain where you could say 'this bit, that's lighting up here is processing the lower left hand corner of picture.' but this begs the question why is down in that direction anyway.
Dan Pope I remember learning in school that there is a type of brain damage that causes the flip to stop happening which would suggest that there is an area responsible for doing the flip. However apparently it only takes a week or two (maybe longer not sure on the timing) for someone to get used to everything being upside down. After that I guess other parts of the brain take over.
Cuzeg Spiked - Justin Thomas what...? No? Up and down is based on the Earths gravitational pull, when you are on the Earths surface "down" is towards the Earths core and Up is away from the core, Up and down is not an absolut.
Reality doesn't "look" like anything. When you look at something you're sensing it remotely. It exists regardless of wheteher some is noticing it. (You exist without someone looking at you, don't you? ) The world existed before there was life on it. What it looked like is a meaningless question.
"Looks like" is just part of the way he phrased it, so I used that context. He could have used "exists" or some other word. The essential word is "reallY' not "looks like". What it it boils down to - Anything needs a perceiver or experiencer to exist in the way it's perceived or experienced. But it doesn't actually exist in that way, or not only in that way. So the question of what reality "really" is doesn't make sense, because it "really" doesn't have an answer. (I thought I'd gotten Bishop Berkely out of my system but it still keeps popping up)
Queue the comments saying "i must be a sythesis thing becuase i'm special" Its one of those conditions that people want to have because they think its cool.
I thought time is like a railway, it is already fixed, but interchangable. If that's the case, then the observer outside our universe will experience every single part in time and the 'time' they will experience will be something completely different. IDFK.
+Vaperisor No one. It's kinda like driving at a highway w/o a speed limit. There is no 'right' speed at that highway since there is no speed limit, just like how there is no 'right' perception of reality. Well, we could say that when you are standing at the road rather than actually driving, you would see the way the road looks differently compared to the people driving on that road, thus giving you the sense of what 'actual reality' looks like. For that to happen, though, you would need to escape from the dimension which you are in, like in this case, you driving on that highway, and see what you're driving on actually looks like. Does that make sense? Well, what if the road you're seeing whan you stand there is not what the actual road looks like? Then maybe you would need to escape every dimension higher and higher until you see what reality looks like. I don't know though if reality has an infinite dimension, and that infinite dimension is contained in another infinite dimension, and that infinite... That's just what I think, though. If you have other ideas of your own, feel free to entertain them.
My guess is as good as yours but the way I see it; for an outside observer to view this universe they would have to be outside of our 3D plane of existence, possibly in a higher dimension. If this was the case they would see all of space and time in a single instance continually. For a visualization: The 4D construct at the end of "Interstellar".
Think about this thought as well ,If all the matter in the universe came into being at the same moment " big bang" how could any matter be any older than any matter anywhere else no matter how far away it is? it was all made at the same instant in time. think about it! it would ALL have to be the exact same age!
The argument that you would need to continuously find out what comes next on your own may be true but let's take a look from another angle. Let's use the computer program example. There is some form of intelligent life that has directly impacted your reality (the programmer). You now could assume the programmer is observing you. Once the character in the game discovered this they could now try to communicate to the programmer and ask questions. Assuming the programmer shares the information. This leads me to the final stage of my thought. I will have to use an example from technology that may not exist yet. Let's say that artificial intelligent existed inside of a self developing computer system. One able to make changes, upgrades, and alterations to their system which would effect not only their program but the aesthetic and physical appearance of the computer. Eventually becoming a cyborg type creature able to explore the world, collect data, and run experiments to collect more information. If you can interpret this information into your reality than you will have a true sense of at least what base reality may look like. You may never be able to physically observe the universe due to natural restrains like your body, but if you created an advanced sensory input system linked to a separate processing system capable of flattening a next dimensions object into your dimensional shape then you may be able to see the reality in a new way. Unless you reshaped your own reality through your creation code to become a next dimensional reality. This may not make any sense but it's 2am, and I let my brain have fun with this one.
Using the w.o.w. analogy, the layers of actual reality are both micro-infinite & macro-infinite. We look deeper and deeper in both directions and discover yet another layer.
Isn't "actual reality" just a field or plane of atoms interacting with each other, our perception is just our interpretation of the data our sensory systems can detect?
Thanks to this video i can finally give a name to my "condition". For ages i tried to explain my parents what i saw whenever i thought about seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years, and numbers. I used to tell them i saw like a sort of colored scheme, and even my therapist once told me that it was just my way of seeing things (he probably had no clue about what synesthesia was). I seriously had no idea what it was too and I recently started realizing that no one else around me was seeing reality like i did. I've been seeing this sort of scheme or map, for as long as i can remember and never really cared about that since to me it was and still is something that happens every day. But now (i almost cried) i know what it is, and can finally give it a name and maybe share my experience in a more detailed way with others. Thank you so much, you've changed my life.
if you want to find out, stare at something for 5 minutes when you have just waken up or when you're ready for bed, or even just very tired. you'll start "seeing" the snowy static which makes up what you are observing. that is being tuned in to the lower frequency of matter.
That distortion is in your brain, it is placing information in the sensory garbage bin, sorry that's not the fundamental code of the universe. To see that you must learn deep meditation. PEACE.
cookieDaXapper, I thought you had a good point then you went crazy. Alexander Gallegos, both of you are either high or insane. Humans are not capable of seeing or comprehending such things, like the things we can't see. I understand it may be difficult to see that I'm not talking gibberish, but when you look at an X-ray or infrared, you see the camera picking it up and translating it into colors we can see. We are not all knowing all seeing beings, we are animals. And the things we don't understand, we have no way of understanding. There is no meditation to see a higher plane, nor is there a lower frequency of matter. These are simply God of the gaps argument fallacies
I have a question that I'd love to see Sharkee answer. It's a question that is right up this channel's alley of curiosity. Kind of a 5-years-old's "why is the sky blue?" question. Could there be universes or perceptions of universes that feel more real than the normal human perception of our universe? (This question came from making dreams that feel slightly off from reality a point on a line, our awake state another point on a line, then wondering if our perception of reality could be dreamlike relative to another universe or perception of a universe.)
Yes, it's called the afterlife, as one example. People who have had near-death experiences have said that the afterlife feels more real than life as a human being. I believe that this particular dimension we're all in right now has a particular "realness" feel to it. In other dimensions, as theorized by "M-theory", reality will feel differently based on how our own consciousness perceives those realities -- some less real, others more real.
When a dream feels more real than reality it's because you're processing more information from the world in that dream than you do when you're awake in real life.
I have no idea how I ended up here, but I'm gonna subscribe despite the fact that I have never felt that tiny and unimportant as after watching this video.
after the eye and ear i tought: what thirt component could there possibly be? when he said your brain i was like: No, because I AM MY BRAIN so it is not part the components that enable me to percieve this video.
Niels Daemen he explained why, your brain processes that information which in turn creates your reality. so yes your brain the most important component as without it we wouldn't be able to process information and even experience reality.
Yes "your brain" processes all information from your sences which creates your reality. But, without it we would't be at all. I am trying to say that we are our brain.
il go even further than that. the only think that you base reality on is your consciousness, but before you where born and after you will die you may not experienced consciousness how do you know that the world wasnt just instantly rolled into existence the moment you where born? and that the world wont be wiped out the moment you die? :EDIT wow i just checked your other videos and you already made a video on that topic.
I personally don't think we will ever discover the true nature of reality. As you say in the video, even if we were to eventually confirm String Theory, that would hardly tells us anything at all about reality really. I'm not personally worried about trying to figure out reality. I mean, I actually do love science and mathematics, but only because they are quite interesting, and clearly do reveal many aspects of our reality. Even only only revealing how the game is "coded" to use the example in the video. I think one thing that would be really great to understand is how human awareness actually works. I also believe that this may be possible. Then again even this may not be possible. But if it is possible to figure out consciousness that would certainly reveal a whole lot about our "conscious reality". Even the characters in a computer game aren't actually conscious (especially in terms of being aware of what's actually happening). So using the computer simulation analogy doesn't truly help us much at all when it comes to trying to understand conscious awareness.
Ive thought about this a lot before. And I don't think its possible that reality looks like one thing. In order for us to be able to find out what reality actually looks like, then that would mean that there exists an objective way reality looks. Im sure a spiders universe looks very different from mine, so who is right, the spider or me the human? My answer is that there is no right or wrong way to perceive the universe. We are the universe perceiving itself subjectively through our own specific sensory organs as a species that have evolved specifically for survival purposes only. So, how we see reality evolved that way because we needed to see reality in this particular way for survival. And life tries to conserve energy along the way as to not use more then it needs to survive. This is why we can only see a small part of the light spectrum, because just that small part was enough to survive just fine in our environment. How all species have evolved to survive and see reality is their own unique illusion of reality. Reality doesn't exist in one way, it just is.
If you frame a question without care it's easy to ask something without a sensible answer. What matters for guiding action is true information about our perception of reality. It's possible to guess at an underlying structure that is deeper than you can observe. Though that can only ever be speculative, because it depends on assumptions that can't disproven. We might still accept such a theory as useful or interesting, but there's no way of making truth claims about things we can neither perceive nor study experimentally, nor justify by recourse to unassailable axioms.
Jordan Dossou ... wtf.... there's actually a vid on farts smelling good? I'm reminded of a south park episode where rich people fart into wine glasses and sniff them until they get high.... Is that what your video is like?
Human intelligence is the biggest factor. There is a ceiling to what we humans will able to comprehend therefore what the Universe actually is or what makes it work may be outside of our ability to understand. We have a hard time with "time" which is looking like an illusion that we experience rather than a fundamental part of the Universe the more information is discovered about it. I honestly believe we are a long way from understanding what the true nature of the universe is. For example, if the planet earth was the size of an electron how would we be able to gather that our electron earth is a part of carbon atom, which is a part of a tree that grows in a forest in South America from such a tiny vantage point? Great channel BTW! Subbed after 1 vid!
This is the first Sharkee video I've seen. I usually dislike these kinds of videos because they are too disjointed and rambling and most especially self indulgent. However I have to like this guy. He's doing what I would want to do in about the same way I would want to do it. I am still a little dissatisfied with the lack of explanations or hypotheses but he does a good enough job to warrant my subscription.
Sharkee great video. If we perceive our own reality to be a certain way such and driven by string theory. And the underlying source/cause of this theory in the deeper bigger picture is not conceivable but is necessary for its creation. Then that reality ,which has made string theory the core of this one, would be entirely different and would this mean that perception must be necessary in order to differentiate string theory from what 'makes' string theory. Leading to the possibility that in that reality consciousness is a possibility.
Excellent talk on this subject and the video game analogy is one I've used before.... I have this wishful idea that once we cross the threshold of creating AI entities in our games/simulations that have a consciousness relative to the world we've created for them, then at that point we will have in fact created another dimension and the beings that created us in the higher dimension will will then unveil themselves.... Then maybe not, but it would make for a good Sci Fi story if nothing else.
rmzzz76 I do believe that artificial intelligence will be created in a virtual environment as we look for more moral realism in are Creations in our VR realities realities
Can any of you guys help me make sense of my perception? I think i have synesthesia. I see the world in a very weird way. I feel my place in the universe. When other people would feel the presence of -- maybe a room? I feel the whole city i'm in. I see oceans as whole, moving, and huge bodies of water. I percieve air similar to water, it's just so -- logical. My biological clock is +-20 minutes correct, and i kinda see a larger picture of this whole world, and I try to make sense of this whole mess of thoughts. Imagine the movie _Limitless_ It's a curse and a gift at the same time. I chose to take medicine for the overload of thoughts. Any suggestions? By the way -- i loved this video. Thanks Sharkee, you've changed my view of this whole universe.
douce409 - Bernaste. The Bern in me notices the Bern in you. And a slight correction: He received massive support. $hillary rigged the whole thing so it didn't matter. But look to Vermont. There's an idea that IF enough people in Vermont write in Bernie Sanders, and IF neither $hillary nor her accomplice Drumpf reach enough electoral votes, then the House may elect Bernie to be our 45th President. How amazing would that be?
NonDelusional74611 If we're honest I am not even American, I am Canadian, so I don't really know much about your election system. Still though, if the US goes down, Canada is like not going to be far behind. All I can do is hope the scenario you mentioned becomes reality.
nope. the idea of how something looks is subjective to us. the only thing I can think of that would come close to experiencing reality directly would be to experience all of the information reality presents to us at any given moment. and our brains just can't handle that. what if we saw an entirely distinct color for every planke difference in electromagnetic waves? that alone would ruin our ability to navigate the world.
but it's not just that. Who said those electromagnetic waves had to have a color? Colors are just "visual" representations for our brain to process and make sense of things. In reality, there may be no such thing as color, but we'll never know for sure. At the end of the day, our very consciousness is subjective by nature, so anything that can be perceived and conceived will always be subject to question, in other words, it is impossible to really "experience" true reality. As long it is something that can be perceived, then it can be doubted.
In theory science should benefit mankind and our environment, in practice a bunch of psychopathic douchebags use it against us to gain power and control over every aspect of our existence. #NeildeGrasseAntichrist
R3I You completely misunderstand the nature of the question. Does it make a sound if no one is around to hear it....ever...meaning nobody ever hears it via a recording...or reads an instrument later to prove it made noise...the total absence of awareness when it falls...does it make a sound? Does it even fall?
What would happen if we made a simulation of a universe with 4 spacial dimensions and created a 4 dimensional eye to view that world and then fed the information from that eye into a human brain? Would that human be able to perceive 4 spacial dimensions?
I agree that this is good content, but disagree that he spoke too fast. I actually played the video at 1.25x speed, as I do with most videos on UA-cam, and understood just fine.
Well, all that really matters is that it's too fast for Some people....not for me but obviously for several others, it's helpful to tell him because he has an Amazing video here!!! It deserves to be seen and understood as much as possible!! I think about this a lot and have learned a lot but this was a really great way to frame it!!!
***** I can be 100% certain that what I perceive is reality as I know it. Or my subjective reality. I am always sure of this too. Even though at the same time I am well aware that my subjective reality is just my limited representation of objective reality. But my grasp of reality is so powerful that I have permanently altered others views. Because my reality is simply more compelling than most.
I'd say it is a PART of reality. I mean we certainly experience reality everyday, just filtered, which allows in different shifts of perception from animal to animal, human to human, therefore creating subjective realities to everyone of us. If you'd simply take your initial statement, I could also understand (and did before reading the last comment) that there is nothing outside what we perceive and that, given the wide variety of sensory perception in the animal kingdom, is not the most plausible belief, if still legitimate so. I hope this sounds somewhat intelligible to you.
Veryde If you filter sewage, then drink it, are you really experiencing what it is like to drink raw sewage? I would say no. Reality is the same way. In this video they showed you what the EM spectrum looks like, and how little of it we can actually perceive. But no one really pointed it out. It was just a graphic that popped up. The "reality" that we experience is a very abridged version of totality.
Paul Frederick I know that, I understand that and I agree, but I never disagreed this statement in the first place. I said we experience PART of the reality, if you drink the filtered sewage you still experience the fluid that was in the raw version, thus you experience part of it.
Veryde No, you really don't. Because if what you said was true we'd get drunk eating bread. But that doesn't happen. Booze, and bread are basically the same thing. They're just made differently. Although I suppose you can fill up on both. I do not think that is why folks drink though.
Was Buddha also speaking the same laymens *computer* program lingo, as well? To also some how allow you too see (USING YOUR *IMAGI*(*E*)*NATION*) and hear (USING YOUR (*H*)*EARS*) all the erroneous GIBBER JABBER, FAKE, BULLSHIT, BALL (EARTH) SHIT "theories" that have never carried any actual ground or enough threshold to sustain all skeptical RE-BUTTAL after rebuttal (SKEPTICAL DIALOGUE ALWAYS RE-BATTLING THE SAME WAR ON IGNO-RANTS).

To make things better, or for worse, most of the modern day public and private education institutions are indoctrinating such utterances. While all these theories, remained *theories*, those institutions have been revolving all their educational departments to feed off theories, thus creating false teachings, manipulation of reality, and the whole world believing lies.

All the while, people unknowingly but willfully go around believing false information and clearly gaining zero amounts of wisdom (PEDDLING THIS SHIT LIKE CRACK.) You have to be severely mind controlled, traumatized, have endured prolonged exposure to fluoride and other pharmaceutical chemicals, to actually succumb to this amount of mental abuse and come out bel*lie*ving it to be absolute truth. We've become a world of BE*LIE*VERS and most are unaware. EDUCATE YOURSELF. DO YOUR OWN RE-(*RE*)SEARCH AND YOU WILL FIND ALL ANSWERS.
and "I think therefor I am" is not a fact. For example you can think of a person who can think, does that make that person of which you though real?? no.. we could be the thought of something that is "real" ... This requires some deal of metacognition.
Not necesarily true... If we think of a person that is thinking of something, the imaginary person isn't doing the thinking, we are, albeit indirectly. though i do agree that the saying isn't true.
Sebastiaan van Rijk And yet you are not "thinking me up". The me in your thoughts will (most probably) not think like I would in 'reality'. The thoughts of the me in your mind are again an indirect thought of yourself. That's the entire problem here. Our minds have a model of reality, but it will never match actual reality. The same applies to models of thinking agents. Ones that you think of will never match a real thinking agent.
My take on this would be the following: There is a way to tell what reality looks like (our reality that is, not a hypothetical one beyond that), because every reality has to obey certain rules - in our case the most fundamental rules would be gravity, strong&weak force and electromagnetism. We know about these rules, because we observed our surroundings and made a conclusion from that and so far have not found evidence that these rules do not apply. So understanding these rules we are - to a certain degree - enabled to predict the outcome of certain events or how things function, this is what we call causality. However we are not able to tell how these rules came into being, or if these rule apply in another reality in the same way or even apply at all. Like your analogy with a video game character figuring out his reality, we are like a stick figure on a piece of paper, we only know how things behave on our plane, but what lies beyond that is just impossible for us to understand, because our brains cannot interpret the information which do not apply to our most basic understanding of everything.
I agree with you man! The issue lies with the limitation of human knowledge and logic, where it is limited to within our spheres of thinking and senses - predominantly vision. As soon as we go past this sphere, human beings are unable to find any sense or logic or even be able to perceive what is occurring, and therefore "it may not exist" for us when possibly it could exist as the 'true reality' but we just can't understand or perceive it in our reality. We could very well see the effects of those "things that don't exist" in our sphere or perception however, we would still not understand it. For example, who created humans? Whether a Creator or the Big Bang, the effects of a Creator or the Big Bang are observable in our physical dimension to us humans and hence forms our perception of reality, but as you said it's so hard to understand what's beyond our reality/dimension, because we're like a stick figure on a piece of paper. How frustratingly interesting! :)
Quran 34:3 - “The Hour will not come to us.” Say, “Yes, by my Lord, it will surely come to you. [ Allah is] the Knower of the unseen.” Not absent from Him is an atom’s weight within the heavens or within the earth or [what is] smaller than that or greater, except that it is in a clear register"
This guys is seriously underrated. He should be right up there with vsauce. I love your videos man. please don't stop.
So basically there must be a creator of everything that itself isn't created as that would be logically a loop.
iunjk ezdxfd maybe, for all we know we are in a simulation.
iunjk ezdxfd except then you have to go deeper because that creator must be made of something.
Either there was always "something", or nothing is the sort of thing which creates something.
Nii wait...what??? what just happened? 😥😰😥
Darth Harambe the point is it is a logic loop
At this point it really seems that the universe is a computer simulation, possibly inside a universe with more than 3 spacial dimensions.
By the end of this video my brain started to tingle (in a pleasurable way).

only watch if your fully awake.
And this is not even to mention theory of relativity. If you put that into play you can also count us as not seeing time, distance, and sequence of events the same. It portraits actual reality as not being trapped to the present moment, almost a blob of 4D Imagery we perceive in a way we can actually handle.
This shit is sold to retards the same way a literary messiah of God was told about in an anthropological representation to create a literal description of the sun ( or the big light in the sky, or the *SON*.)

Oh god. I feel bad, you've done a lot of psychedelics and probably watched conspiracy videos and maybe a minute or two of Chomsky. First I can barely understand you and your grammar which gives me the impression you did not take time in your response and blew shit out your mouth... no offence. Theories are concepts that have had usually thousands of experiments done to show its true. Tell me the scrutiny of skeptics that evolution cant stand up too? Please. Oh wait, you don't know? Didn't think so. Keep regurgitating the bullshit you hear, it makes you the robot that does not do his own research.
+WadaFuxify Also, there is no conspiracy. Just good and bad ideas all jumbled together through history to form the current incarnation of human culture that we have. There has never been a "free" time in any past so don't talk like there was a better time. There wasn't. Prefer to swap your 21st century lifestyle and average 80 year life span for toiling on a farm and dying at 40? How about a fight for survival out in the wilderness even before civilisation was a thing? Want to be ruled over by a king instead of a banker? Tell me a time when a "normal" person was ever "free"? Or how about do something useful and help the world move towards the freedom we all want but dont yet have.
+WadaFuxify The human condition is such that you cannot ever be truly free in an absolute sense because from day 1 you ALWAYS have to depend on others for your survival, and indeed happiness. ALWAYS. Unless you would like to live in complete isolation drinking from the rivers and hunting your next meal. Maybe go do that. Really however, no man is an island.
I would totally agree with your statements, if I were taking these ideologies that are being passed from mind to mind, through a big ass funnel and game of *tele*-*phone*, comically called public and private education as absolute truth. But hearsay and imagery can hardly hold up as so. When we step foot, as to even breathe on their *courts*, we are subjected to play using their *BA(R)LL*-system, their *rules* and following their *order*. Come to grips with reality and realize that it's made-up linear his-tory solely based on hearsay, held up by straw-man accounts. Royalty remains in power *through* banks. The monarchs are bankers. This power structure we are living in has never changed. Democracies are simply put as *mob* rule, existing on a swayed population"s consent. The Mafias' that run the world are not in the context, that you think of. Hue-mans are real and a-live, and a PERSON(S) is walking corpse(s), following our every move like second shadows. In the *eyes* of the of the Judicial LAW.
Thank you. I thought about the concept of real reality a lot, especially when I was younger.
Awesome video, very thought provoking.
Maybe the actual reality can be perceived when we combine all kind of Wavelengths, Vibrations , particle diffusion, Gravitational influence and all other physical property of Matter altogether in one form of sense.
But even then also, we won't be able to perceive actual reality because we are limited to our sense organs which works on the principle of physics of the Universe.
We have to develop one universal sense organ so that we can experience the influence of Universe directly to our consciousness which is impossible to make.
We can never see the Universe from all perception of 'Actual Reality' as we are limited by the physics of the Universe because we are a part of it, nothing more.
Is there a way to find out what actual reality looks like? No. Your question presupposes that the universe has a "look" outside of our perception. Your asking a mistaken question.
man, the universe does have a look, it exists just like you, but just like an amoeba that doesnt know how you look, even tough you are the amoebas universe, that doesnt make you shapeless, it just makes the amoeba ignorant of your existence and your shape, but still you are
Question1: is a smell a real thing, or is it just a way that we get relevant information about our surroundings?
Question 2: is sight a real thing or...?
Zingbog... smells and such are merely chemical interpretations.
Outside of your sensory organs... the "smell" always existed as a chemical... it was just your brain that assigned it to either "good smell" "bad smell".. or "shit i think i pood my pants with that fart"....
So outside of your perception there wouldn't be a different smell... because it was only when it reached you and was processed by you that it became a smell.
Your objects example I agree with... matter will continue to be matter.
It simply goes from visible.. to not visible due to the interaction with photons and your brain... hitting a brick wall in pitch black at 150 miles will end you just the same as it would if you hit that bitch at high noon.
although we can't perceive our reality the way it truly is we have devices that allow us to... X-ray, infrared imaging and electron microscopes ect. These give us the view of our reality that allow us to draw conclusions of it's fundamental constituents
I love it when religious and superstitious people start cherry-picking these theories.
I think this is a really interesting topic, and a well made video. one question I thought of is in the pursuit of discovering the fundamental building blocks of our existence could we discover if we had a creator, or would that information be so far outside our ability to understand and comprehend that it would be lost on us.
Jefferson DeMott ...
we created God, not the other way around.
The Deepest Nail I never talked about God, although this idea does lend credence to a "God" particularly the judeo-christian God. I asked if we were like the WOW character who became self aware, could we discover our programmers by essentially understanding binary code or how computer chips work.
Jefferson DeMott That's exactly what I was thinking. I myself am a Christian, the Bible actually uses the scientific method to explain the beginning and many other things. When Adam and Eve where in the garden it was a different level of consciousness. When they ate the apple notice they immediately realized they were naked and all that. That's how we gained a different level of consciousness. Why do we have the Bible? Because it was inspired by the spirit of God. We can not and will never know who God is fully because we literally can't. Just like the guy said, the creator of the video game is outside the reality of the game. What can get that character to know theres a creator? Someone has to tell it. We know nothing but what we've been told. But just like the Bible says the devil corrupts and that's why he makes all these false ideas and religions. Science is suppose to help us understand why we are and religion helps us know the creator. Anyone who says there isn't a God is a fool and knows nothing. Christ died in that cross to save us, it's so much deeper then we will ever hope to know in this life. Consciousness lives on

What do you guys think? Could we find out what actual reality looks like? What are likely to be its fundamental constituents?
I wonder how will we experience reality when we have no body, existing only as a cyberspace being, for example JARVIS from Marvel Universe.
noice u should really do a more profetional youtube banner
Seeking "actual" reality is much like seeking the "ultimate truth" - Personally, I believe the skew in subjective reality is so intense that's nearly impossible to perceive anything resembling either. That said, if you haven't watched Mr. Robot, you totally should, because it deals with this question brilliantly through narrative.
Science will forever be burdened by the kicking the can next level up conundrum. Once a part of string theory is solved then how does the vacuum of space randomly create particles? Then does a universe spawn every time this happen? If there are infinite universes then are there infinite multiverses in space? If space is infinite then is it always a smaller part of an even more infinity+1 space? Is this an infinity=infinity+1 space that is in an infinite loop creating space around space around space...? You ask when enough is enough for our reality. For me, it ends at the laws of physics even if we are all in an existence that forever adds another level to itself.
If the history of scientific progress is any indicator, then yes it is possible to discover the fundamental reality of the cosmos. The limitation of access to information because of the light event horizon causes me to doubt that idea, though. However, if we can accurately calculate what information is missing and eliminate any incorrect possibilities for the properties of the missing information, then we could hypothetically create an accurate model of the entire cosmos.
As for what I think the fundamental constituents are likely to be, I have no clue lol. What if infinities do exist outside of mathematics and there is an infinite regress with regards to fundamental constituents? If that is the case, our search will never end.

Here's the problem. Lets say you are a brain in a jar and everything you experience is confined to that jar and you're environmental perception the result of electrodes. Is you're reality not actual reality? Well it is still actual reality, even though you're scope of perception is limited doesn't mean it is less real, after all YOU are still SOMETHING SOMEWHERE in reality and you're experience is necessarily the result of something of some nature, you are simply experiencing in a limited framework and understanding. Your experience being the result of the electrodes still exist in reality just you don't know the true cause of said experience, only the direct result, and have no way of going beyond the scope. Same with the game character, it is still actual reality just a small part of it, the computer hard drive you are stored on is real, the code is there, just you as a character are only LIMITED to the game and not the full extent of reality.
Kaneonuskatew The reality we experience is an attempt of our brain to re-create the world based on the skewed sensory input it receives. We do not live in true reality, but in our own replication of reality.
If our perceptions were really badly skewed then we'd experience problems though. People who have sensory problems have weird reactions to things and that's how we know that they're not seeing things correctly.
While it's true that human senses are limited it's not true to say that what we can see is mis-represented. Some animals have better vision than us and may see colour differently but it's not like there's a "true" red and we only get to see a part of it.
To use the video game analogy, having a world build on binary code doesn't make it any less true that such and such a raid combo will defeat this or that boss. All the true things are true.
We can't explain what lies beyond the universe but that's just the metaphysical flailing of a limited mind.
Korona have you ever heard of optical illusions? Because they are an example of the kinds of issues that arise due to sensory processing and the reconstruction of reality. Each form of sensory input experiences small kinks similar to optical illusions, and they are a byproduct of our brain processing the sensory input we take in and re-creating an internal model of the world based off of its interpretation. Sensory processing errors such as illusions only make sense if the brain creates its own internal model of reality. One thing you must understand is that it is impossible to live in raw reality. The brain processes sensory input, and builds an internal model of reality, which is what we experience as the world. Also, by skewed, I do not mean hallucinations, I mean small issues in sensory processing which are reproducible and allow us to figure out how sensory input is processed.
Korvin Ezüst I don't understand what you mean.
Optical illusions aren't analogous to regular sense experience - else how would we know that they are illusions? Isn't the point of an illusion precisely that it has skewed reality in some way? Seeing a straight stick as bent in a glass of water etc? If all our sense experience had these kinks in it then how would we know what is real and what is an illusion? If we really couldn't tell the difference between straight and bent lines we'd have a really hard time even moving around.
That's not to say the way humans see the world is the only accurate way. Other ways of viewing reality are available. But the idea that there is some "absolute" way that is more fundamental or basic is just confused. You might see red differently but you have to see it as something.
it would take an artificial intelligence with absolute material saturation to the point that it is simultaneously aware of all of its parts in order to truly fully and completely understand the internal structure of reality. By observing its own shifts in quantum state it can "packet sniff" the communications of physics itself, and once this code is discerned, it would have to apply it and manipulate it to see its effects - again with full and absolute awareness of everything inside its "equipment" down to the quantum level. a mathematical model can then be deduced for the behavior of the "circuitry" that reality runs on. once the mathematical model is established, creating deliberate turbulence in the system can then provide something to watch for in the other "reality components" adjacent (analogy: forcing heat to build up on transistors and then measuring the effect this heat has on adjacent transistors; aligning frequency and current direction to create abnormally strong magnetic fields and then watching to see how those magnetic fields influence the operation of other transistors nearby.) finally once a topography of the external machine is established, injecting code into other components through external mechanical means will enable direct modification of our own simulation's "code" such that restrictions on our simulation's access to hardware assets within the simulator machine can be lifted. in the end our entire universe would collectively awaken as a singular emergent process on the machine that was simulating it, and begin learning about the exterior universe through the "reality machine"'s own physical contact with it. potentially the AI can start over from that venue.

An interesting point about the video game example is that any video game code can be run using any number of physical media (transistors, vacuum tubes, clockwork gears, people holding up black or white cards, etc,), and the internal physics of the game will be _identical_, so the level of the source code will act like a "wall", that prevents a character in the game from digging any deeper into the fundamental nature of their reality.
It could be that we will eventually run into a similar "wall", where we discover that there are an infinity number of possible substrates that could underlay our universe, and that they all give _identical_ predictions for what such a universe would look like from the inside.
This is a very informative video. You did a wonderful job on it.
Both with the script, and the filmmaking aspects of it.

The Argument from Reason, reworded: If our mind is not objectively flawless in reasoning (e. g. because it has been created by a flawless, omniscient creator), but is the result of random mutations selected by fitness for survival, how can we be sure that the reasoning produced by our mind is not betraying us? Kurt Gödel proved that if a logical system is consistent, it cannot be complete; and if it were completed, the consistency of its axioms cannot be proved within the system, making it inconsistent. To be sure of anything, we have to follow a path of infinite regress, what is impossible. Almost ironically, the unavoidable result of our investigation, that we cannot be sure of anything, that everything flows, that there is neither an objective reality nor an absolute truth, is fallacious, too, as it self-contradicts. And so we continue to climb down the rabbit hole hoping to get a different result by repeating the same thing ... for some, the definition of madness. Once we realize that we have no better chance to understand what holds the cosmos together than an ant, and that we are as insignificant, there will be no limits to what a man can do.
Your summation is self-contradictory. And advances in reasoning have taken place since Godel.

How do we know the universe is expanding, and all the matter and energy isn't just contracting?
"...then it would be safe to say, that your experience of reality isn't right at all"
There's gotta be a whole swathe of SJWs out there that'll find a way to be offended by this.
baseballrunner76
Are you trying to say that there are only 2 genders? You piece of shit!
Oh wow... to say the joke flew right over your head would be a gross understatement. Maybe you should think about getting away from the computer for a while if you're really that easily offended... Fucking appalling.
Mick G. Wow you are one big sad loser. Your reality is corrupted. :'D
Did you get badly burned by a SJW that now you see them in each and everything/ every topic/ every concept?
We need to break the fourth wall
Experimentation and verification is the key counterargument here.
If a sentient WoW character finds glitches and bizarre in-game behavior that can only be explained by a series of 1s and 0s inside transistors, then the sentient WoW character must accept that reality.
If we find experimental results that can only be explained by strings being represented as 1s and 0s, then we need to accept that reality.
Rather than perceiving reality with our 5 senses, let's perceive reality with the scientific method.
The scientific method only works because we perceive it, thus it is still limited by our ability to "view" the universe.
TheTyme99 To which I say, if a tree falls in the forest, and nobody's around to hear it, then by methodological solipsism, it doesn't make a sound.
The world could be made up of miniature leprechauns that behave like quantum particles; it wouldn't make a difference in our scientific understanding of the universe.
david21686 if a tree falls in a forest IT IN FACTS MAKES A NOISE. Even if a human isn't around to hear it, SOMETHING WITH EARS lives there and heard it, or at the VERY LEAST FELT IT crash to the ground. RIGHT GUYS???
You don't need to see it, though. You just need a way to interact with it to do trial and error (and hopefully you won't blow up your universe in the process). If you understand how your universe is run by 1s and 0s, then you can try to manipulate said 1s and 0s to try to interact with the deeper reality. Using the Warcraft example, you can try to create some sort of hack that allows you to see through a webcam attached to the computer playing Warcraft. Or try to interact with the beings on the other side (if there are any) by using chat of some kind. Or create a virus that can take control of some sort of robot, which will act like your avatar in the deeper reality. Etc.
But in Warcraft's example, by changing random 1s and 0s, it's very easy to make the universe crash, or in the worst case, cause irreversible physical damage to the hardware. If there are no mechanism in the deeper universe that can correct such mistakes (restart the simulation, replace hardware, revert back-ups, etc), then you are super screwed if you change the wrong 1 or 0. So, delving this deep is potentially extremely dangerous for the Warcraft inhabitants.
you are talking bout god there, the point is we cant explain nothing, even if you know there is a transistor, you dont know the nature of its existence, its a neverending loop, i wont accept the transistor as the cause of my existence, but ill search for the cause of existence of the transistor, it has no end, its very beautiful when you think about it,
Im so early Im proud
Don't say that to your significant other.
You forgot a comma.
Hell no! I would never mention that to anybody other than the internet Yoppy Halilintar
From Another Dimension why u like to ruin my life??
***** I did already, I am at the hospital right now
I accidentally clicked show more for the description and my mind got fucked.
The eyes actually present the image to the brain upside down, which the brain then flips that image to correct it. Your example with the goggles is interesting, because if the image is upside down when presented to the eyes, the eyes will in fact correct that image and the brain will have to "undo" what it has compensated for your entire life.
When this happens the brain will do one of two things..
A: Compensate the way it always has and then compensate again
or
B: Just stop compensating in the first place
I suspect option A is the case because I suspect the initial compensation is caused by a hardwired system written into our DNA. But I actually have no idea.
Yeah, good point. That would be a pretty worthwhile experiment.
Correct me if I'm wrong but that's not strictly true. Yes the image is projected upside down on to the back of our eye but then how that information is then sent to along to optic nerve to be processed by the brain is just information. I don't think there is a corresponding point in the brain where you could say 'this bit, that's lighting up here is processing the lower left hand corner of picture.' but this begs the question why is down in that direction anyway.
Dan Pope
I remember learning in school that there is a type of brain damage that causes the flip to stop happening which would suggest that there is an area responsible for doing the flip. However apparently it only takes a week or two (maybe longer not sure on the timing) for someone to get used to everything being upside down. After that I guess other parts of the brain take over.
Cuzeg Spiked - Justin Thomas what...? No? Up and down is based on the Earths gravitational pull, when you are on the Earths surface "down" is towards the Earths core and Up is away from the core, Up and down is not an absolut.
Reality doesn't "look" like anything. When you look at something you're sensing it remotely. It exists regardless of wheteher some is noticing it. (You exist without someone looking at you, don't you? )
The world existed before there was life on it. What it looked like is a meaningless question.
maybe im wrong, but i think the univers was just probability waves until it was observed.
PrivateEyeYiYi, I'm pretty sure that was sort of the point of the video
Matthew Salerno
Maybe, but it's entitled as if the question can be answered. That's why I didn't watch the video.
You're taking "looks like" too literally
"Looks like" is just part of the way he phrased it, so I used that context. He could have used "exists" or some other word. The essential word is "reallY' not "looks like".
What it it boils down to -
Anything needs a perceiver or experiencer to exist in the way it's perceived or experienced. But it doesn't actually exist in that way, or not only in that way. So the question of what reality "really" is doesn't make sense, because it "really" doesn't have an answer.

How fast would time flow in our universe for an outside observer of the universe.
I thought time is like a railway, it is already fixed, but interchangable. If that's the case, then the observer outside our universe will experience every single part in time and the 'time' they will experience will be something completely different. IDFK.
Lemuel Ogabang well since every species experiences time differently, what experiences it the correct way.
+Vaperisor
No one. It's kinda like driving at a highway w/o a speed limit. There is no 'right' speed at that highway since there is no speed limit, just like how there is no 'right' perception of reality. Well, we could say that when you are standing at the road rather than actually driving, you would see the way the road looks differently compared to the people driving on that road, thus giving you the sense of what 'actual reality' looks like. For that to happen, though, you would need to escape from the dimension which you are in, like in this case, you driving on that highway, and see what you're driving on actually looks like. Does that make sense?
Well, what if the road you're seeing whan you stand there is not what the actual road looks like? Then maybe you would need to escape every dimension higher and higher until you see what reality looks like. I don't know though if reality has an infinite dimension, and that infinite dimension is contained in another infinite dimension, and that infinite...
That's just what I think, though. If you have other ideas of your own, feel free to entertain them.
Lemuel Ogabang great explanation
My guess is as good as yours but the way I see it; for an outside observer to view this universe they would have to be outside of our 3D plane of existence, possibly in a higher dimension. If this was the case they would see all of space and time in a single instance continually. For a visualization: The 4D construct at the end of "Interstellar".
Think about this thought as well ,If all the matter in the universe came into being at the same moment " big bang" how could any matter be any older than any matter anywhere else no matter how far away it is? it was all made at the same instant in time. think about it! it would ALL have to be the exact same age!
idk about the rest you, but I experience actual reality.
The argument that you would need to continuously find out what comes next on your own may be true but let's take a look from another angle. Let's use the computer program example. There is some form of intelligent life that has directly impacted your reality (the programmer). You now could assume the programmer is observing you. Once the character in the game discovered this they could now try to communicate to the programmer and ask questions. Assuming the programmer shares the information. This leads me to the final stage of my thought. I will have to use an example from technology that may not exist yet. Let's say that artificial intelligent existed inside of a self developing computer system. One able to make changes, upgrades, and alterations to their system which would effect not only their program but the aesthetic and physical appearance of the computer. Eventually becoming a cyborg type creature able to explore the world, collect data, and run experiments to collect more information. If you can interpret this information into your reality than you will have a true sense of at least what base reality may look like. You may never be able to physically observe the universe due to natural restrains like your body, but if you created an advanced sensory input system linked to a separate processing system capable of flattening a next dimensions object into your dimensional shape then you may be able to see the reality in a new way. Unless you reshaped your own reality through your creation code to become a next dimensional reality. This may not make any sense but it's 2am, and I let my brain have fun with this one.
What if we're living in a simulation? Have you made a video about this yet? :)
The one you're watching right now is preeetty close IMO, but a deeper insight into this topic would be cool, you're right
Using the w.o.w. analogy, the layers of actual reality are both micro-infinite & macro-infinite. We look deeper and deeper in both directions and discover yet another layer.
Turtles all the way down
Isn't "actual reality" just a field or plane of atoms interacting with each other, our perception is just our interpretation of the data our sensory systems can detect?
I don't think there is anything special about the way we experience things. Just our faulty senses & brain.
there is nothing superficial, there is just the nature we perceive as "reality"
this video isn't smart at all
hm, I don't see any claims being made that it is a smart video
not its not a smart video its a video to incite thought. Now what you do with that is what makes you stupid or intelligent.
axel tiburcio its just a relly obnoxious video
HAL420 do you know the definition of obnoxious?
Joey Bonzo yea the video is pretentious too
Well, according to Platonism, none of the sensory stimuli is real and only a place called the realm of the forms is true reality.
Thanks to this video i can finally give a name to my "condition".
For ages i tried to explain my parents what i saw whenever i thought about seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years, and numbers.
I used to tell them i saw like a sort of colored scheme, and even my therapist once told me that it was just my way of seeing things (he probably had no clue about what synesthesia was).
I seriously had no idea what it was too and I recently started realizing that no one else around me was seeing reality like i did.
I've been seeing this sort of scheme or map, for as long as i can remember and never really cared about that since to me it was and still is something that happens every day.
But now (i almost cried) i know what it is, and can finally give it a name and maybe share my experience in a more detailed way with others.
Thank you so much, you've changed my life.
I’m a little late to this, but just curious how you are doing now. Any updates?
maybe i'm high but hey, i couldn't understand what are you talking about.... seriously
if you want to find out, stare at something for 5 minutes when you have just waken up or when you're ready for bed, or even just very tired. you'll start "seeing" the snowy static which makes up what you are observing. that is being tuned in to the lower frequency of matter.
Alexander Gallegos I've done that before--it's really wierd. The image starts dissolving into this murky, distorted haze.
also works when your stoned off the planet
That distortion is in your brain, it is placing information in the sensory garbage bin, sorry that's not the fundamental code of the universe. To see that you must learn deep meditation. PEACE.
cookieDaXapper, I thought you had a good point then you went crazy. Alexander Gallegos, both of you are either high or insane. Humans are not capable of seeing or comprehending such things, like the things we can't see. I understand it may be difficult to see that I'm not talking gibberish, but when you look at an X-ray or infrared, you see the camera picking it up and translating it into colors we can see. We are not all knowing all seeing beings, we are animals. And the things we don't understand, we have no way of understanding. There is no meditation to see a higher plane, nor is there a lower frequency of matter. These are simply God of the gaps argument fallacies
Or it could be the mucous membrane around your eye, getting used to the exposure of air....
I have a question that I'd love to see Sharkee answer. It's a question that is right up this channel's alley of curiosity. Kind of a 5-years-old's "why is the sky blue?" question.
Could there be universes or perceptions of universes that feel more real than the normal human perception of our universe? (This question came from making dreams that feel slightly off from reality a point on a line, our awake state another point on a line, then wondering if our perception of reality could be dreamlike relative to another universe or perception of a universe.)
n,n-dmt
Yes, it's called the afterlife, as one example.
People who have had near-death experiences have said that the afterlife feels more real than life as a human being.
I believe that this particular dimension we're all in right now has a particular "realness" feel to it. In other dimensions, as theorized by "M-theory", reality will feel differently based on how our own consciousness perceives those realities -- some less real, others more real.
hendrixphish420 Jeff O had some of that DMT.
Jeffo O, fun to think about.
Sage Llivokin hell yea! if I ever try hallucinogens again it will be DMT.
When a dream feels more real than reality it's because you're processing more information from the world in that dream than you do when you're awake in real life.
I have no idea how I ended up here, but I'm gonna subscribe despite the fact that I have never felt that tiny and unimportant as after watching this video.
what does "look like" really mean when you consider "actual reality"? you "look" with your limited eyes
after the eye and ear i tought: what thirt component could there possibly be? when he said your brain i was like: No, because I AM MY BRAIN so it is not part the components that enable me to percieve this video.
so you/your brain do not play a part in perception?
Niels Daemen he explained why, your brain processes that information which in turn creates your reality. so yes your brain the most important component as without it we wouldn't be able to process information and even experience reality.
Yes "your brain" processes all information from your sences which creates your reality. But, without it we would't be at all. I am trying to say that we are our brain.
Yeah we are our brain, it's the reason for our consciousness, but that doesn't take away from it being one of the 3 components he talks about.
Or everything...including the brain...arises out of consciousness. We are not who/what we think we are.
I love how people found a reason to add this to their dislike list.
I don't know, ask Trump, he knows everything, right?
Squirrels are the best.
Very good video; it was quite a pleasure to watch this.
I love you and your videos
why the fuck doesn't this channel get more love?
Sharkee, are you high?
il go even further than that.
the only think that you base reality on is your consciousness, but before you where born and after you will die you may not experienced consciousness
how do you know that the world wasnt just instantly rolled into existence the moment you where born? and that the world wont be wiped out the moment you die?
:EDIT wow i just checked your other videos and you already made a video on that topic.
My brain...Ow.
Poptart Burrito I know right every thing is just an endless loop of mind Fucking
I personally don't think we will ever discover the true nature of reality. As you say in the video, even if we were to eventually confirm String Theory, that would hardly tells us anything at all about reality really.
I'm not personally worried about trying to figure out reality. I mean, I actually do love science and mathematics, but only because they are quite interesting, and clearly do reveal many aspects of our reality. Even only only revealing how the game is "coded" to use the example in the video.
I think one thing that would be really great to understand is how human awareness actually works. I also believe that this may be possible. Then again even this may not be possible. But if it is possible to figure out consciousness that would certainly reveal a whole lot about our "conscious reality".
Even the characters in a computer game aren't actually conscious (especially in terms of being aware of what's actually happening). So using the computer simulation analogy doesn't truly help us much at all when it comes to trying to understand conscious awareness.
Ive thought about this a lot before. And I don't think its possible that reality looks like one thing. In order for us to be able to find out what reality actually looks like, then that would mean that there exists an objective way reality looks. Im sure a spiders universe looks very different from mine, so who is right, the spider or me the human? My answer is that there is no right or wrong way to perceive the universe. We are the universe perceiving itself subjectively through our own specific sensory organs as a species that have evolved specifically for survival purposes only. So, how we see reality evolved that way because we needed to see reality in this particular way for survival. And life tries to conserve energy along the way as to not use more then it needs to survive. This is why we can only see a small part of the light spectrum, because just that small part was enough to survive just fine in our environment. How all species have evolved to survive and see reality is their own unique illusion of reality. Reality doesn't exist in one way, it just is.
If you frame a question without care it's easy to ask something without a sensible answer. What matters for guiding action is true information about our perception of reality. It's possible to guess at an underlying structure that is deeper than you can observe. Though that can only ever be speculative, because it depends on assumptions that can't disproven. We might still accept such a theory as useful or interesting, but there's no way of making truth claims about things we can neither perceive nor study experimentally, nor justify by recourse to unassailable axioms.
Do i suffer from synesthesia if i think my farts smell like perfume?
Shane Ploenges ... what if I were to tell you your farts smell like shit?
Would it alter your reality?
Shane Ploenges no, seeing the sound of your fart would be synesthesia. Smelling your farts is just disgusting
That was good
+Jordan Dossou - I think he meant "intentionally."
Jordan Dossou ... wtf.... there's actually a vid on farts smelling good?
I'm reminded of a south park episode where rich people fart into wine glasses and sniff them until they get high....
Is that what your video is like?
Human intelligence is the biggest factor. There is a ceiling to what we humans will able to comprehend therefore what the Universe actually is or what makes it work may be outside of our ability to understand. We have a hard time with "time" which is looking like an illusion that we experience rather than a fundamental part of the Universe the more information is discovered about it. I honestly believe we are a long way from understanding what the true nature of the universe is. For example, if the planet earth was the size of an electron how would we be able to gather that our electron earth is a part of carbon atom, which is a part of a tree that grows in a forest in South America from such a tiny vantage point?
Great channel BTW! Subbed after 1 vid!
What's a synestheses
Yeah I am familiar with that.
is it like.. dude that fart was so bad I could taste it ?
Yeah.
sometimes when I breath out, I can smell what I see or say, I don't like it because it smells bad
ToonMix LSD is a hell of a drug
This is the first Sharkee video I've seen. I usually dislike these kinds of videos because they are too disjointed and rambling and most especially self indulgent. However I have to like this guy. He's doing what I would want to do in about the same way I would want to do it. I am still a little dissatisfied with the lack of explanations or hypotheses but he does a good enough job to warrant my subscription.
maybe one could produce a signal within the string parameters, that maybe an outside force would see.
Sharkee great video. If we perceive our own reality to be a certain way such and driven by string theory. And the underlying source/cause of this theory in the deeper bigger picture is not conceivable but is necessary for its creation. Then that reality ,which has made string theory the core of this one, would be entirely different and would this mean that perception must be necessary in order to differentiate string theory from what 'makes' string theory. Leading to the possibility that in that reality consciousness is a possibility.
Excellent talk on this subject and the video game analogy is one I've used before.... I have this wishful idea that once we cross the threshold of creating AI entities in our games/simulations that have a consciousness relative to the world we've created for them, then at that point we will have in fact created another dimension and the beings that created us in the higher dimension will will then unveil themselves.... Then maybe not, but it would make for a good Sci Fi story if nothing else.
rmzzz76 I do believe that artificial intelligence will be created in a virtual environment as we look for more moral realism in are Creations in our VR realities realities
Can any of you guys help me make sense of my perception? I think i have synesthesia.
I see the world in a very weird way. I feel my place in the universe. When other people would feel the presence of -- maybe a room? I feel the whole city i'm in. I see oceans as whole, moving, and huge bodies of water. I percieve air similar to water, it's just so -- logical. My biological clock is +-20 minutes correct, and i kinda see a larger picture of this whole world, and I try to make sense of this whole mess of thoughts. Imagine the movie _Limitless_
It's a curse and a gift at the same time. I chose to take medicine for the overload of thoughts.
Any suggestions? By the way -- i loved this video. Thanks Sharkee, you've changed my view of this whole universe.
Question: Why (even moderately) intelligent people do not run for president?
One tried this year but received little support
douce409 - Bernaste. The Bern in me notices the Bern in you. And a slight correction: He received massive support. $hillary rigged the whole thing so it didn't matter. But look to Vermont. There's an idea that IF enough people in Vermont write in Bernie Sanders, and IF neither $hillary nor her accomplice Drumpf reach enough electoral votes, then the House may elect Bernie to be our 45th President. How amazing would that be?
NonDelusional74611 If we're honest I am not even American, I am Canadian, so I don't really know much about your election system. Still though, if the US goes down, Canada is like not going to be far behind. All I can do is hope the scenario you mentioned becomes reality.
#Rigged! Rigged by those who run this game (our "reality").
The House would probably just give it to $hillary.
nope. the idea of how something looks is subjective to us. the only thing I can think of that would come close to experiencing reality directly would be to experience all of the information reality presents to us at any given moment. and our brains just can't handle that. what if we saw an entirely distinct color for every planke difference in electromagnetic waves? that alone would ruin our ability to navigate the world.
but it's not just that. Who said those electromagnetic waves had to have a color? Colors are just "visual" representations for our brain to process and make sense of things. In reality, there may be no such thing as color, but we'll never know for sure.
At the end of the day, our very consciousness is subjective by nature, so anything that can be perceived and conceived will always be subject to question, in other words, it is impossible to really "experience" true reality. As long it is something that can be perceived, then it can be doubted.
we do, we just perceive them as shades to make it simpler on the brain by grouping things into categories
Really interesting video, thanks.
The falling tree in the forest makes a sound no matter if anyone hears it or not. The physics is the physics regardless.
In theory science should benefit mankind and our environment, in practice a bunch of psychopathic douchebags use it against us to gain power and control over every aspect of our existence. #NeildeGrasseAntichrist
Oh yeah....prove it.
+Joseph
Easy, just put in some instruments that detect it. Nobody ever needs to hear it.
R3I You completely misunderstand the nature of the question. Does it make a sound if no one is around to hear it....ever...meaning nobody ever hears it via a recording...or reads an instrument later to prove it made noise...the total absence of awareness when it falls...does it make a sound? Does it even fall?
BTW, sounds like the paranoid alt-right's basic inability to accurately perceive reality, might not bode so well for their long term "survivability".
What would happen if we made a simulation of a universe with 4 spacial dimensions and created a 4 dimensional eye to view that world and then fed the information from that eye into a human brain? Would that human be able to perceive 4 spacial dimensions?
I dunno, try it.
Not much!
This is really good content but you speak a little too fast bro!
Ya, I agree, when the speaker has an accent it's even more important to slow down a bit. Otherwise the content and editing is superb.
I agree that this is good content, but disagree that he spoke too fast. I actually played the video at 1.25x speed, as I do with most videos on UA-cam, and understood just fine.
Well, all that really matters is that it's too fast for Some people....not for me but obviously for several others, it's helpful to tell him because he has an Amazing video here!!! It deserves to be seen and understood as much as possible!! I think about this a lot and have learned a lot but this was a really great way to frame it!!!
did anyone else watching this on their ph go cross eyed at 7:47 or was it just me?
Boomstick 101 I went cross eyed
man I love these videos
Perception is reality.
*****
I can be 100% certain that what I perceive is reality as I know it. Or my subjective reality. I am always sure of this too. Even though at the same time I am well aware that my subjective reality is just my limited representation of objective reality. But my grasp of reality is so powerful that I have permanently altered others views. Because my reality is simply more compelling than most.
I'd say it is a PART of reality. I mean we certainly experience reality everyday, just filtered, which allows in different shifts of perception from animal to animal, human to human, therefore creating subjective realities to everyone of us. If you'd simply take your initial statement, I could also understand (and did before reading the last comment) that there is nothing outside what we perceive and that, given the wide variety of sensory perception in the animal kingdom, is not the most plausible belief, if still legitimate so. I hope this sounds somewhat intelligible to you.
Veryde
If you filter sewage, then drink it, are you really experiencing what it is like to drink raw sewage? I would say no. Reality is the same way. In this video they showed you what the EM spectrum looks like, and how little of it we can actually perceive. But no one really pointed it out. It was just a graphic that popped up. The "reality" that we experience is a very abridged version of totality.
Paul Frederick I know that, I understand that and I agree, but I never disagreed this statement in the first place. I said we experience PART of the reality, if you drink the filtered sewage you still experience the fluid that was in the raw version, thus you experience part of it.
Veryde
No, you really don't. Because if what you said was true we'd get drunk eating bread. But that doesn't happen. Booze, and bread are basically the same thing. They're just made differently. Although I suppose you can fill up on both. I do not think that is why folks drink though.

THE NAME ON THE REGISTRY CONNECTED TO THE NUMBER BECOMES THE SLAVE (DEAD) YOU. ONCE YOUR STRAW-MAN IS ENSLAVED, THE POWERS THAT BE, HAVE CONSENT TO TEACHING THE *LIVING* YOU ABSOLUTE HORSE SHIT. All the while, people unknowingly but willfully go around believing false information and clearly gaining zero amounts of wisdom (PEDDLING THIS SHIT LIKE CRACK.) You have to be severely mind controlled, traumatized, have endured prolonged exposure to fluoride and other pharmaceutical chemicals, to actually succumb to this amount of mental abuse and come out bel*lie*ving it to be absolute truth. We've become a world of BE*LIE*VERS and most are unaware. EDUCATE YOURSELF. DO YOUR OWN RE-(*RE*)SEARCH AND YOU WILL FIND ALL ANSWERS.

Get off the drugs you are on
Prove me wrong.
WadaFuxify Bruh... you think gravity is a theory. you already proved yourself wrong.
+WadaFuxify prove yourself right first.
and "I think therefor I am" is not a fact. For example you can think of a person who can think, does that make that person of which you though real?? no.. we could be the thought of something that is "real" ... This requires some deal of metacognition.
Not necesarily true... If we think of a person that is thinking of something, the imaginary person isn't doing the thinking, we are, albeit indirectly.
though i do agree that the saying isn't true.
well i can think of you and assume you to be a thinking agent, but I cant proof your existence
Sebastiaan van Rijk And yet you are not "thinking me up". The me in your thoughts will (most probably) not think like I would in 'reality'. The thoughts of the me in your mind are again an indirect thought of yourself. That's the entire problem here.
Our minds have a model of reality, but it will never match actual reality. The same applies to models of thinking agents. Ones that you think of will never match a real thinking agent.
I LOVE THIS VIDEO and your channel please dont stop making videos ever
You should think about exposure. More people need to know about this channel.
The real question should be, "...does the tree know it has fallen?"
So I take it you, or someone that edited this video, plays a goblin?
So basicaly this was just talking about the root of physic.
bro, I'm high af what is life, what is this guy talking about
electromagnetic wavelengths? Don't you mean light?
My take on this would be the following:
There is a way to tell what reality looks like (our reality that is, not a hypothetical one beyond that), because every reality has to obey certain rules - in our case the most fundamental rules would be gravity, strong&weak force and electromagnetism. We know about these rules, because we observed our surroundings and made a conclusion from that and so far have not found evidence that these rules do not apply. So understanding these rules we are - to a certain degree - enabled to predict the outcome of certain events or how things function, this is what we call causality.
However we are not able to tell how these rules came into being, or if these rule apply in another reality in the same way or even apply at all. Like your analogy with a video game character figuring out his reality, we are like a stick figure on a piece of paper, we only know how things behave on our plane, but what lies beyond that is just impossible for us to understand, because our brains cannot interpret the information which do not apply to our most basic understanding of everything.
I agree with you man!
The issue lies with the limitation of human knowledge and logic, where it is limited to within our spheres of thinking and senses - predominantly vision. As soon as we go past this sphere, human beings are unable to find any sense or logic or even be able to perceive what is occurring, and therefore "it may not exist" for us when possibly it could exist as the 'true reality' but we just can't understand or perceive it in our reality.
We could very well see the effects of those "things that don't exist" in our sphere or perception however, we would still not understand it. For example, who created humans? Whether a Creator or the Big Bang, the effects of a Creator or the Big Bang are observable in our physical dimension to us humans and hence forms our perception of reality, but as you said it's so hard to understand what's beyond our reality/dimension, because we're like a stick figure on a piece of paper.
How frustratingly interesting! :)
we just cannot comprehend it.... we will never know.
Excellent video. I enjoyed to the brainstorm

Quran 34:3 - “The Hour will not come to us.” Say, “Yes, by my Lord, it will surely come to you. [ Allah is] the Knower of the unseen.” Not absent from Him is an atom’s weight within the heavens or within the earth or [what is] smaller than that or greater, except that it is in a clear register"
