    You believe you are approaching a level of understanding akin to one of the great philosophical minds of our time Does anyone else here see any delusions of grandeur?



    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    i used alot of clown faces to make the point I was kidding.

    I'm standing on the shoulders of giants.

    I was referring to a common understanding in physics:

    Uncertainty Principle being a lower limit of the delta introduced at a quantum level. IE momentum or position can be determined but not both precisley at the same time.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heisenb...inty_principle

    More importantly that they way we go about measuring reality has an effect on what we measure and the type of outcome we will find. Our minds choose our methods, and our methods determine our outcomes. For instance the double slit experiment vs the photoelectric effect. Measure one way and we find a particle, measure the other way and we have a wave.

    So as observers we can find reality is subjective. To take to the objective level, requires measurement again and again. Something that science does, and stamp collecting does not.

    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.
