6-25-06 Really Real
A lot of what constitutes "reality" is that which most people agree on. If, for instance, you fall down and bump your chin on the floor, most people would agree that the floor is solid, bumping your chin on it will hurt, and that this applies to everybody. On the other hand, we're pretty much in agreement with the nature of the microscopic universe of molecules and atoms, and how all that goes together. Consequently, the solid floor we've bumped our chins on is, in that reality, composed of vastly more empty space than matter.
It's "real" to most of us that the reason gas prices are going up is something about "supply and demand". But how can there be any "energy shortage" when the whole universe, according to Einstein, is made of energy?
Speaking of Einstein, here's a recent article that discusses how the nature of reality, as regards the entire universe, hasn't been figured out yet...

...but now they're "getting closer" to an answer...
That's just to remind you that "they" don't really know either how the universe began, or even if it began, why it appears to be expanding or how fast that expansion may be. But there's one thing "they" are pretty much settled on, and that's the consensus that the universe IS expanding in all directions, everywhere they look.
There are other theories to explain the doppler shift behind the (possibly erroneous) conclusion that the universe is expanding, but those theories aren't "agreed upon", so they aren't given much credence. It doesn't matter that alternate theories don't enjoy vast funding to find any further evidence for their workability, these are just theories that are too difficult to deal with. The only way to get any funding is to come up with a theory that doesn't piss off the holders of "agreed upon" theories that ARE getting all the funding.
In this wise, quantum consensus is the egocentric principle. Once a consensus "observes", then that's the reality. If you can maintain a wide enough consensus with a theory, then this will be "reality", at least for as long as you can get it to hold, I suppose...
This is how we're being governed, lately, as well.
The really real thing about doppler shift is that no matter which direction you look in the universe around us, everything is moving away. It's moving away from US, here on Earth.
Isn't that just absolutely amazing? We really ARE the center of the universe after all! Of course, the fact that the entire universe is moving away from US in all directions ought to tell us something. We should take a hint from the rest of the universe.
It should be clear by now that what's going on on this planet is something that the rest of the universe really doesn't want to have any part of.
Really.
