"If conscious observers were not observing it, would the universe exist?Yes if it wanted to" presuming of course that the universe itself is itself conscious and capable of observing itself... | |||

"If conscious observers were not observing it, would the universe exist?" I used to enjoy this type of thinking when reading about new theories in subatomic particle research etc, now I believe its been misunderstood i.e schrodinger's cat/tree falling in the woods type of thing. If a tree falls in the woods, a tree falls in the woods and it will make a sound regardless of an observer. I'd give an example of a planet,lets say mars, we aren't changing the sun's heat on it just because we observed it. I also think some think this whole observer thing has been blown out of proportion to now make it as if the conscious observer makes the universe therefore leading to some form of creator when if fact there probably has been other observers around the universe before any life in our solar system anyway. I really don't think the conscious observer theory(or the anthropic principle as its known), holds up when you consider species like plants/animals that have existed for millions/billions of years before our 'kind'. | |||

"Well it's existed 13 billion years lol so I doubt much will change. " How long is 13 billion years (sun years) in subatomic terms? A long time, an instant, like a week in Brexit..? | |||

"If conscious observers were not observing it, would the universe exist?" Does the universe exist even when there are conscious observers? Or is it all just in your mind? | |||

They get their energy from stars(photosynthesis), can mimic smells and looks of insects(and they don't even have eyes). Whereas we devour and destroy lol-compared to the rest of all species..we are a drip in an ocean. It's a mistake to think we are the most advanced, given our relatively short existence. *Not knocking us doing amazing achievements | |||

Pretty successful if uneventful lol | |||

"Define conscious observer, that may be a step towards your answer " I'd say a conscious, and I have to add, intelligent observer, is one who is aware of the environment around them including regions of space, not just a creature that is only aware of it's own immediate surrounds. | |||

" Normally an observer would also need to sit outside what is being observed, after all if you can't observe from multiple perspectives you can't really observe at all | |||

"There is no way to disprove that I exist within a very elaboate simulation and for all I know, I could be coded and everything around me is to see how AI develops. Had any meets? Why? Might prove your reality?" Are you also trying to lead to a 'simulation' theory? I wonder what people think really regarding such questions, I'll admit a black hole picture recently shown wont change anyones lives really., however many aspects we take for granted were born from CERN (This mad internet thing), tv's, computers etc etc..all born from physicists. physicists predict mathematical equations then test and verify(most people can do the same with the same knowledge), they are not always correct and scientists still admit when they got/get something wrong, quite the opposite for religion though. Our reality is our reality, it causes me pain and love, I don't need to have a sky wizard or matrix controller to say what's right and whats wrong. People should just understand our time is fleeting, make the best of now and ensure the future, nothing else actually matters. | |||

People should just understand our time is fleeting, make the best of now and ensure the future, nothing else actually matters." You are quite right. I opened with the speculation that my reality may be part of a complex simulation because I cannot prove or disprove anything. "We are all ghosts, piloting meat covered skeletons, made of stardust" is about as abstract a way to describe us. However, my experience in life is basednon whatever is fed to my concious via the five senses. I don't believe for one second that I'm a disembodied brain, being electronically stimulated to generate a reality which I experience, or that everyone else exists whenever I interact with them. It is just me being abstract. | |||

"I look at it like this .. If you stood on Bondi Beach and picked up one grain of sand , that would amount to our own galaxy in the vastness of the universe . Then split that grain of sand into around 100 Bilion pieces and then picked up one of those pieces , that would get you close to the insignificance that is our Planet " It may be an insignificant little planet but it is big enough for me, imagine you had to commute from that billionth of a grain of sand to Bronty beach each day. So are we any closer to deciding if there is something observing the universe? | |||
