Reality doesn’t exist

A team of physicists in Vienna has conducted a set of “reality” experiments that prove to a level of 80 orders of magnitude that reality doesn’t exist unless you observe it.  In other words, in case you ever doubted the Schrodinger’s Cat thought experiment, doubt no longer.  It seems that experimental evidence has confirmed that we create our own reality by looking at it, measuring it, or observing it.

Already impossible to seperate

“In the future, it’ll be impossible to seperate the virtual from the real – you won’t know when you’ re on or off line”

This is a quote by the famous and well respected SF author William ‘cyberpunk‘ Gibson. I must disagree with William Gibson here. Unless he said this such a long time ago, when 2008 was still the future…

Where is reality?

“Where is reality? Can you show it to me?“

(……)

Great quote from some german speaking (Swiss?) philosopher. This is a videofragment an interview that was shown at the Sonic Acts Festival in Amsterdam.

Unfortunately I forgot the name of this man, I still have to search for it somehow…
