[QUOTE="Heinrich Hundekok, post: 25236, member: 354"] [b]Re: Questions (long, but pls read if you have time)[/b] Hi Anon1986 and you others, Just a few comments. The reason i used the word "rendered" about what the brain shows us as "real" was [i]exactly[/i] that I too think it resembles what happens in a computer program or even a game, as Dr XFirefly mentioned. I've been building maps for counter-strike for some years, and one of the main problems is to build it in a way so - at all times - the computer only renders a small number of surfaces and only th surfaces that you can actually see while beeing at a certain spot. If you ie. run through a sewer to get unseen behind your opponents backs, the computer only draws the sewer. Or put differently: only the sewer exists! The rest of the map is just numbers lying dormant in the computers memory, ready to be pulled out when you look at them. This corresponds well with some of the odder aspects of our "real" world. Take the classical "two-slit experiment" as an example. If light is sent towards a plate with two vertical and very thin slits in it, an interference pattern is displayed on the wall behind it. This is because the photons react as waves that interfere like waves on an ocean. But if you send off photons one at a time or in small bursts and at the same time measure which slit they go through, you will always see them as "particles" that goes through either one or the other slit, which makes interference patterns impossible. Put shortly: If you look for waves, then that's what you'll find, and if you look for particles, then [i]that's[/i] what you'll find. As if the light [i]knew[/i] what it was supposed to do even before reaching the slits... The world is - to some extend - defined or created by looking at it. Just like a 3d game. Oh, and by the way... Anon1986, you mention that more strange things have started happening since you started posting in here. Well, honestly I think that it [b]is[/b] a coincidence! Happens to me too all the time - [i]when I think about it !!![/i] A funny example: Just hours after I posted my reply to your letter, my girlfriend and I had to take a train to go visit my mother. I find a travel-plan on the net saying that I have to get on the train at.... well, you guessed it: 03:11 pm.

All of you. ;) George W. Bush is a fine president, It's just your schizophrenia playing with your minds !!! Well that wasn't even funny. But I'll give another funny example of this apophenia-thing. Ever read Douglas Adam's "the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy" series? If yes, then you definitely have been wondering about the number forty-two, 42.
