Is Real Really Real?
There’re more things to wonder about when we begin to examine reality. One is a BIG one.
Science tells us that inside atoms are protons, neutrons and electrons. Inside them are quarks. But some oddities in physics have brought forth a new theory to explain some odd goings on. String Theory tells us that at base of everything are strings, so small that an atom compared to the Earth is a far closer match than a string compared to an atom.
Strings are tiny bits of… we are not sure what, but the best of theory says that for at least part of the time, they are somewhere else. They vibrate in and out of our reality. Strings make up everything we experience, yet for part of the time they are just not here.
So with all those things pointing at a reality a bit different from that being taught in schools, we have to wonder what is really Real.
At the moment it would seem only one thing can be relied on. With the universe a hologram, with memories being part of a mental hologram we call Consciousness and Mind, with the evidence that there is nothing at all that inside the smallest things we can conceive of, it would seem that the only real thing is us.
Strange that after all these years, after brilliant men have worked their minds for decades in study and discovery, we find ourselves heading back towards the idea that only Life has meaning, that ‘All the World’s a Stage’ or that lives are played in the Cave as Shadows on a Wall with the real players back off behind us.
