I don’t accept that. Humans measure things. I don’t recall hearing that the stars measure things. And what was there before the stars? Material that gave rise to the stars.

Reality is that which exists. To say that reality doesn’t exist is to contradict the nature of reality.

All this started from the uncertainty principle of Heisenberg, who said that one cannot assign exact simultaneous values to the position and momentum of a physical system. Then came the thought experiment of Schrödinger in which some say a “cat” is both alive and dead.

This has gone too far.

Reality is that which exists, regardless of whether it is perceived by a sentient being or not.

Here! Here!

A perspective I can agree with.

And to think, that some didn’t think I existed until I posted.... That’s different than somebody not “knowing about “ me.

Perception is not reality, reality can be perceived, but isn’t dependent on that perception.

Come on! Too much indoor time, get a sunburn!
