Hey guys! Go easy on me. I'm here to learn.

This is a fascinating subject to me. I'm not trying to recreate a topic. I actually googled this topic and found this site, but the thread was locked. If I missed another similar thread feel free to redirect me.

Opening the brutal topic of reality, I have 2 primary concerns for investigation.

1. In my reality we are affected emotionally in a way outside of a physically exclusive reality.
2. If we affect each other and also can't deny observations of physical interaction what other forces could be at play that effect a subjective reality?

Care to take a stab?

These threads tend to get locked because this forum is intended for discussions about questions that can be answered by theories of physics. I don't think your questions belong to that category.

I don't know what you mean by "my reality". Are you referring to the model of your surroundings that your brain creates and keeps updating with new information from your sensory organs? If so, how is this "outside of a physically exclusive reality"? The second question is even harder to understand. Are you asking if there's a reason to think that reality is subjective? There's none given by science alone. Someone might mention some interpretation of QM that they feel says something along those lines, but interpretations of QM aren't really science, and I also think the ones that include something similar to a subjective reality look more like different aspects of a many-worlds interpretation than like actual interpretations. So they can't really answer your question.
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles.

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
