    Isn't that just the Copenhagen Interpretation taken to its extreme? I'm not suggesting that there's no truth in the article, just that interpretations of complex scientific stuff is not one of the Daily Mail's fortes... :D

    I saw this on  my FB, and can remember something for years back about closing your eyes and asking yourself if the world was still there or something. It's the cat in a box theory taken up a bit, or the tree in the wood if it fell down would it make a noise.

    When i call my family in OZ it's just an ILLUSION because I'm not looking at it, but i know it's real !

    At the quantum level reality tells me that the family is on the other end of the line :hi:

    So take the sense of sight away from a person does they mean they no longer exist in "our world"?

     

    Experience in other senses should be included and just because we interpret something different the source is the same?
