All about Perspective
It’s wild to think that our perspective is permanently limited because personal experience is limited. Thus, we can never see the whole truth of anything, and it doesn’t exist in our realm, so to speak.
This lockdown has been like a pressure cooker for the mind, body, and soul. I know it’s the same LD subject, but we will skip this soon, and you will forget all about it for a moment. I promise 😃 I talk about what I live. I attempt to express what we as individuals are going through, and I do that by sharing my experience is all I have.
It’s wild to think that our perspective is permanently limited because personal experience is limited. Thus, we can never see the whole truth of anything, and it doesn’t exist in our realm, so to speak. Due to our flawed organic perspective mechanism, we cannot grasp the whole truth of “reality.” Unless one actively seeks to expand their perspective, thus broadening their grasp in understanding the cosmos, one human by his/hers/theirs own limited design cannot know all.
Taking that thought into consideration poses the question, are there untruths out there? If truth exists, then its opposite must exist as well. Can it be both? What about those moments when both truths co-exist? Would you say that would never happen? Bear with me.
Let’s say 2+2 = 4. As far we are aware, that is a fact, an ultimate truth. I always put as far as I’m aware behind any statements I make, even when I don’t put it in writing or state verbally. Anyway.
What about the double-slit experiment? 🧪 🧫 (haha, double slit). All jokes aside, it was called a double or two-slit experiment for literal reasons. In 1801, Thomas Young used a wall with two openings perfectly parallel to each other and proved that light behaves both as waves and as particles. If it didn’t, if you would shine light through two perfectly parallel slits, the light would project two perfect parallel slits. But that’s not what always happens. Yes, there is an odd variability to the results of this experiment.
When the light is observed, it behaves like an atom and reflects on the opposing wall how you would expect it within its limits. When the light, or atoms, this has been demonstrated on atoms now, yea, cool, isn’t it? I digress; when the atoms are not observed, they go all savage and act like waves. Please, look up the experiment for yourself to understand more.
One thing the experiment proved is that we still don’t know how atoms behave. What’s made out of atoms? Everything. Too broad? Excuse me, all matter. Secondly, we learned that atoms behave extraordinarily differently when observed versus when the cameras are off.
Quantum mystery can puzzle anyone’s understanding of reality.
We don’t know why atoms behave in one way when observed and in a completely different way when there are no eyes on them. Maybe it has nothing to do with how atoms choose to behave when observed. Is it’s possible that human perspective is constrained by virtue of our flawed design? Is it possible that two things can be true at the same time? As far as we know, an atom can behave like a particle when observed. An atom or atoms behave like waves when left to their own devices, as far as we know.
Humans do as humans do in the Western world. Instead of looking within, do we try and decipher the atom to understand its behaviour? Do we look outside? Maybe the explanation is this flawed and ultimately finite human perspective incapable of observing particles as waves, only as matter. I’m only speculating. I’m only speaking from my organic limited human perspective.
