Dear Sir(s)
My name is Clifford Robinson and I live in Kansas City Missouri. You may be wondering why I have e-mailed you. Well, a coworker of mine and I have been drawn into the world of quantum physics after seeing the film "What the "Bleep" do we know". Some of the topics in that film supported a theory that I have had for a very long time and I was wondering if you could give me a professional opinion of this theory.
The theory states the possibility that each person (being an observer) may have a totally different visual and auditory experience of life. An example of this would be saying that because of waves and partials being received by the brain and being translated by that brain into the images, tastes, sounds and smells that the only reality that truly exists in in the mind of the observer.
Say you have two beings of equal sentience. Each being's brain would not see the world as the same world at all. You would have one thats brain sees and reacts to the world as a human as we know them would yet the other, not seeing the world as you would expect but as their brain sees it, all sentience is viewed as amorphous blobs in that mind. These two beings would never know that the other is different because the input from outside stimulus would be translated by that beings brain as being only one way. The blobs would see blobs and hear and feel a blob world where the human would only know what the human brain translates as a human world. Each being would be unable to know that what they see is not what the other sees because the reality that that mind has made would alway compensate by translating into what that mind has already decided was reality. No conflict of reality would occur either because of the same effect.
I would like to know your view(s) on this topic and weather or not you feel this is an plausible theory or not.
Thank you for your time.
Cliff Robinson

If you don't mind I'll post that on the Lost board uner the Homoplastes and quantum physics thread.
I might also copy it into the aggregate mine and 'Own Private Idaho' thread. If you could possibly incorporate magnetism and time shifting into your concept, that would help me greatly.
If you could explan this too, I'd be much obliged
I've always pondered that very topic many times in my life. But...no matter how we may try...it is completely unprovable by it's own nature. Ergo, my current and most solid theory to date, that when I open my eyes in the morning the universe scrambles to unfold itself before me. Other people only exist when I see them, talk to them or just think of them. Otherwise nothing exist outside of my sphere of stimulus.
Of course, the Matrix theory works for me too. [img]wink.gif[/img]
Interesting theory. If any of them answers you back, please post what they said [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
ah.... the old stoner "what if the color blue to you isn't the same as the color blue to me" deal... i can't believe you're trying to waste a physicists time with that... you need to at least get them stoned first.
now, if you're ready to get off the dope and take the concept a step further, read this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/047...lance&n=283155 [img]smile.gif[/img]

granted, wrapping your head around that book can make one want to cry at times, but as fascinating as it all is, the simple fact is that we can't do a damn thing about any of it (at least not yet and not for the foreseeable future) and perception is, in the end, the only thing that really matters so there's not much sense in worrying about any of it. it's just cool to mess with your own head once in a while...

I've always wondered if food taste the same for everyone or if theres differeces for us all.
if you drop a table scrap to the dog, does it taste the same for the dog as it does to us?
