Mind is the brain?

[bennyboy]

Can you talk more about how science has shown that evidence is not an accurate reflection of reality?  I'm just interested.  [emoji846]

Let's say you look at a table. To what degree does your observation demonstrate that there is actually a flat surface there? The reality of it is that the table is 99.9999999% empty space, and that 0.000000001% consists of a nature that is almost impossible for the humand mind to comprehend. In one sense, there is no flatness-- it's an idea that we derive.

So there are at least two levels we can look at reality: that of the Universe as a cloud of varying densities of wave functions, and another as that of solid objects and their physical properties-- like bouncing billiard balls.

Now, I'm sure this view will be controversial, and I can feel Rhythm breathing down my neck already. But I'd say that science has shown that, whatever we think the universe is, it isn't that. Or, at least, that there's a paradoxical dualism: if you view a cell through a microscope (i.e. collect evidence) what are you really seeing? Is the answer a cloud of wave functions, or a "thing"? Is a photon a wave or a particle?
