I'm sure most have had some experience like this.

The problem is when people circumvent their mental faculties in order to justify their insane belief systems. Most of these experiences happen when you're tired, so you're already in a compromised state - couple that with darkness, drugs, booze, etc and it's almost trivial to infer why they happen.

They are fun hallucinations and nothing more. Anyone arguing to the contrary has a long road of establishing it.

It could just be a hallucination as much the tree in your back yard could be.

There's no way to measure whether or not someone is hallucinating unless you are the subject, therefore it takes experiencing something yourself to believe it.

Everything is subjective, I am not religious but I know that what I have seen was not a hallucination any more than running water flows with gravity.

The universe is a hologram, this in just today: http://www.nature.com/news/simulations-back-up-theory-that-universe-is-a-hologram-1.14328

Change your paradigm of thinking, science is.



Clearly used your layman brain to interpret "Holographic Universe" as "hologram". It's simply an abstraction of the physical world based upon the mathematical computations. It has fuck all to do with holograms, hallucinations, or anything of the sort. Did you even read and comprehend the article? Stop wasting my time with this sophistry.


Yeah you need to read up on quantum physics because it's obvious you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

Keep living an arrogant and stale existence. 

Please reserve your small minded and unfounded opinions to yourself and out of this thread.



So you did not read the article? Noted. Next time read the article for before citing it as some form of backing to your random suppositions.

"In 1997, theoretical physicist Juan Maldacena proposed1 that an audacious model of the Universe in which gravity arises from infinitesimally thin, vibrating strings could be reinterpreted in terms of well-established physics. The mathematically intricate world of strings, which exist in nine dimensions of space plus one of time, would be merely a hologram: the real action would play out in a simpler, flatter cosmos where there is no gravity."

This is not at all dissimilar from the realizations of Kant hundreds of years ago in the form of Transcendental Idealism in that what we see is limited by our perception and that objective reality (noumena) is unable to be realized.
