Is universe observer dependent? Any thoughts.
Deepak, this is the second vague question I see from you. If you are looking for more specific responses with correct answers, I recommend to put a little more depth in your questions. Or they just look like ( also combining with you not attending the thread again) they have been asked to make others talk and argue while you watch from the sidelines. I expect the next thread to ask "What is the meaning of life?"
There could be a 97th dimension that we are not aware of, sitting 2 inches away from us, but since we can't detect it, to us it does not exist. But in its own, it does exist.
Deepak Kapur said:Do you mean to say that there are finite number of such dimensions?
What if a dimension 'became alive physically/took birth' only when someone tried to detect it.
Pardon the vagueness.
Yes, the idea of observer dependence in the universe is a well-accepted concept in the scientific community. It is supported by various theories and experiments in fields such as quantum mechanics and cosmology.
The observer does not physically affect the universe, but rather their perspective and perception of the universe can influence how it is observed and understood. This is due to the role of consciousness and perception in shaping our understanding of reality.
There are several lines of evidence that support the concept of observer dependence. For example, the famous double-slit experiment in quantum mechanics demonstrates how particles can behave differently when observed versus when not observed. Additionally, the theory of relativity suggests that space and time are relative to the observer's frame of reference.
No, observer dependence does not necessarily mean that reality is purely subjective. It simply suggests that our understanding and perception of reality are influenced by our consciousness and perspective. There are still objective laws and principles that govern the universe regardless of our perception of them.
The concept of observer dependence is often used to explain the multiverse theory, which suggests that there are infinite parallel universes with different versions of reality. In this theory, each observer may experience a different version of reality depending on their perspective, leading to the idea of a subjective experience of the universe.
