A Conscious Universe

[bennyboy]

Really? So it is your position that the top of the desk in front of me is a single, solid surface, rather than a collection of a gazillion QM wavefunctions vibrating in space?

Tell me, how sure are you that QM particles exist, and what is your basis for being sure (assuming you are)?

What you have presented is a false dichotomy; the desktop is both. Understanding the mechanics of its constituent parts doesn't make the desktop any less solid; in fact, it explains it. The fact that we can't directly perceive the constituent parts can be explained via evolutionary biology and the scale of the environment in which we evolved.

That's a lot of talk for "We don't perceive the universe as it is."
