If There Is No External World, Why Does Physics Explain Vision So Precisely?

Skyrim has such precise and consistent physics so Skyrim must be a real place, right?

Lol!

This is an excellent question.  The nondualists look at it from the first person and say that the scientific theory is only another thought in your mind.  So they deny the validity of objective reality as knowledge.  For a more detailed discussion see works by Greg Goode.  The Ancient texts didn’t have science so they don’t talk about it.  I personally think the explanation is too simplistic.   Somehow they both have to be true.

That is an interesting thought: What is the reality of Whiterun if you are in Riverwood? 


“Our most valuable resource is not time, but rather it is consciousness itself. Consciousness is the basis for everything, and without it, there could be no time and no resource possible. It is only through consciousness and its cultivation that one’s passions, one’s focus, one’s curiosity, one’s time, and one’s capacity to love can be actualized and lived to the fullest.” - r0ckyreed

Consciousness is creating finite ontologies. So Consciousness creates atoms, for example.


You are God. You are Truth. You are Love. You are Infinity.

I always was baffled by why. But now i know.  Because it is free.


 

Wisdom.  Truth.  Love.

@Leo Gura I understand your point that reality is direct experience and that there is no external world behind appearances. But I have a question:

Physics explains vision through light reflecting off objects, entering our eyes, stimulating the retina, and being processed by the brain.

We can even predict and manipulate perception through glasses, eye surgery, retinal damage, or changes in lighting.

If there is no external physical world behind our experience, why do these mechanisms work so consistently and predictably?

I understand that you might say the eyes, light, brain, and scientific explanations are themselves appearances within consciousness.But doesn't that just move the question one step further?

Why does consciousness follow such precise physical laws, as if there were an independent external world?And what exactly causes vision to change when the physical eye is damaged, if the eye itself is only an appearance within consciousness?

//chatgpt helped to formulate my thoughts 

It's simple: because anything that exists is in relation with anything else. Without relationship there is not existence. And any relationship is dynamic, it's a change of state happening in relationship with another state.  Then everything must be perfect, synchronized without deviation, because otherwise simply it wouldn't exist. You could call it dream or my grand mother, but there is no existence without dynamic relationship, and for a dynamic relationship be stable and entangled with other dynamic relationship must be perfectly synchronized. 

Who does that perfect synchronicity? The fact that the absence of perfect synchronicity can't be.

This is false.

Existence is Unity, so it needs and even cannot have relations.

Existence is an absolute.

What would you get if you got beneath quarks? Probably a layer under quarks.  And a layer under that. It will keep exposing itself to you. And it will confuse the scientist.  But then light was a wave. And it exposed only what you needed to see when they did shine it on it. You can't know what's in the box. Because it is always in a superposition 

Under the smallest unit of measurement is more smaller units. There is so much stuff that reality should be collapsing onto itself into a black hole under the weight. But its not because we are actually in the black hole and we aren't measuring objective reality we are measuring our own brains. The quarks are in your brain not physical reality.

Science looked so closely they see the pixels in the brain and went hang on im not even doing science 'out there' I'm actually measuring the screen in the brain.

They looked so closely the realized that outside of your body is a black hole. They are measuring the physics of a brain in a black hole.

The physics of reality is the headset.

@Leo Gura if it's true, God is a big liar. It tells me a story of thar there is an reality behind the object but it's just an appearance with nothing behind it. 

When I watch a movie, God creates it for me out of nothing and tells me someone produced it and my TV is running the movie. But nothing is, it's just an appearance and physics is imagined. 

When I take lsd everything becomes fluid. So I form reality with my mind. Physicality is suddenly less rigid. But it is catching up. 

Why is God not honest but lying to me about reality, producing an illusion. I have not chosen this life and am not in control. This is madness.
