"Thought" as the Foundation of the Universe

in #life3 years ago (edited)

Physics is amazing. Especially when complex matters, which not all scientists can interpret and understand, are translated into the simple language of the layman. This allows us to see science not as something complicated and confusing. And as a tool that not only brings us closer to the clues of the universe at the physical level, but also expands our thinking, philosophical perception of the world.

According to the laws of quantum physics, the physical world is a single space of energy that appears and disappears constantly, every millisecond of time. And only the thoughts of living beings "hold" this world as something unified and at first glance permanent.

What is a human? Constructor from biological tissues and organs. Organs are made up of cells. Cells are a collection of molecules, and molecules are made up of atoms. The basis of the atom is subatomic particles, which are composed of ... pure energy.

In fact, any physical object is an accumulation of energy, at different structural levels. But fundamentally, we are all made up of an intangible element of energy.

How is "Thought" related to physics? You are an observer who sets constant properties, instead of a wave function for elementary particles. At the same time, the world that you see, hear, feel, taste is the world created by your physical limitations on the perception of energy.

The world for a dog is a completely different place. The dog hears sounds in a completely different range, and this changes everything. The snake perceives light in other spectra. Insects sense space on a completely different level. how-animals-see

We could talk about a permanent, unchanging physical world only if we had access to perceptions of all spectra of energy, and not only to us, and to other beings around us. But in fact, we all live in an interpretation, in an illusion that is created and limited by our basic feelings. And only our thoughts are the only thing that makes the world at least a little stable.


#Sciencepop - science popularization. I suggest you use this tag in order to share interesting news, photos, stories from the world of science in a short format. Hundreds of scientific discoveries occur around the world every day. But they may contain insufficient data to create a full-fledged article or seem rather boring for usual readers, because of the strong scientific specifics. Although, I see that steemit community loves science in all its manifestations.

I like this small post 🍷👌👌👌 .... universe is a strange thing, but at the same time instructive.

Thanks! Especially strange sometimes to realize that you are a direct part of something so huge.

Big things start what small things... it is normal to be small first 🍷👌
