The Universe Through Our Eyes
This article is about two questions regarding human perception and reality from a philosophical perspective.
Q: If there are two men looking into the same room, and one man can see a table, and another man sees an empty room, what is in the room?
A: In this hypothetical but implausible situation, the human beings are perceiving a very different reality. However, bear in mind that what they perceive does not affect the reality. What is in the room cannot be changed, it stays the reality that exists in that room. There either is or is not a table in that room. But in this situation, at least one of the Humans must be wrong in their perception, if not both. Logically speaking, they cannot both be right.
Q: A line of humans walk by the same location, all looking into the room. All of these people can see a table, except for the same man who sees nothing. What is in the room?
A: Now, we have a situation where there is an outlier, one man who does not see a table while the rest of humanity can see a table. It is now generally accepted that there is a table inside the room, and that the man alone in his perception of nothing is somehow crazy, or blind. Again, the reality has not changed. What is in the room stays in the room, but, most people agree to seeing a table and one man is excluded from the perception and is considered ‘wrong’. It seems to us that table is really there, however, only God can truly know if there is a table inside the room or not.
(* If every human immediately died, would the table not still be there despite having nobody to perceive it?)
Pure Logical Principal:
1+1 = 2 –> this is a fact that lies beyond human perception. Even if every animal and human tried to disagree with this fact, they would be ‘wrong’. This is a truth of nature.
these principals need to be discovered, and can interpreted wrongfully, but remain the fixed laws of the universe
