Is reality real? A perception overview...


A few questions you can ask yourself before deep-diving into the truths of reality...

One of the most common questions that philosophers ask is, do we perceive reality differently?
Is spacetime differently perceived by you and me? 
Are we at the same time, seeing the same things?
This connects to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle which says that if you know the momentum of a given particle, you can never know its place in space or even time.
We are all made of particles – is that the same for us?
How many realities are anyway – his, mine, hers, yours, theirs?
What if different perception where different dimensions?
We can never know any of these questions without speeding up time and warping spacetime...

Singularities, black holes, and the geometry of space

Singularities: An answer to a theory of everything Edwin Hubble (along with others) discovered that the universe is expanding. He absorbed that the majority of galaxies where moving away from us from its spectrum. Its spectrum appeared to be redshifted: when the light wave expands when the source of light moves away, thus moving the wavelength of light towards the red end of the spectrum. We know that if the universe expands, if we reverse time, the universe must have been smaller. And some long ago, the universe would have been the size of a dot. It would have infinite mass and density and would be extremely hot enough pull apart not just atoms nor nucleuses, but elementary particles and quarks of which we don’t know its components. This singularity would live in a single dimension, just a point in ‘space’ (in fact this point is space). We learn that this singularity might lead us a key of the universe. However, this isn’t the only singularity we can find in space or in time. ...

Is science or history better?

The following essay is my response to the International Baccalaureate's Theory of Knowledge question title option for 2021-2022: " Is there solid justification for regarding knowledge in the natural sciences more highly than another area of knowledge? Discuss with reference to the natural sciences and one other area of knowledge. " I chose history as the additional area of knowledge, as there is often debate concerning whether science or history is more important. All rights go to IB for this prompt and the subsequent triggering of my thoughts and opinion. - Is there solid justification for regarding knowledge in the natural sciences more highly than another area of knowledge? Discuss with reference to the natural sciences and one other area of knowledge. It was the intellectual Arthur Schlesinger Jr. who once declared that “science and technology revolutionize our lives, but memory, tradition and myth frame our response.” He compares two areas of human knowledge that sh...
