Assuming that "observers" can create reality (and this is what the SEED article suggests has been shown experimentally over and over again) -- I raised one of my biggest conceptual problems with the idea: given multiple observers, how do we all "agree" to create the same reality? If we don't create the same (or at least similar) reality, then how can we communicate about it at all? More to the point, how come the observers seem unable to shape reality by their will?
She took up this last point by referring to a modern theologist's view that we also can't walk on water because every cell in our body would have to believe it was true in order to succeed...
At first I thought how silly, but then maybe there's something to that... what if it wasn't just every cell in your body, but every cell, every rock, everything? I thought specifically of something I read of Feynman's talking about another aspect of quantum physics: that there is really no separation, no distinction at that level between particles, rocks, plants, people... stars... it's all part of the same oneness.
Then I thought of something really strange... wouldn't it be funny if all the experiments and the maths weren't wrong, just our narrow interpretations of the meaning? What if everything in quantum physics was pointing to the idea that there was and had only ever been One Observer infinitely observing Himself unfold?
...I paused and thought of the imagery of Buddhism, lotus petals and Mandlebrots infinitely shimmering in space and time...
Science can only take you so far, then you must dream...
