Week 8 Explaining Science... Sort of

How does a person see what they see? Just look at the way you're reading this right now. How are you doing this? How do you see everything so sharply? Well I'll tell ya. You are doing this by imagination. None of this is for real. Your mind is making this all up. What if the people who do drugs are people who see the world as it is? What if oxygen is making us hallucinate to see a world we would rather see, rather than the world as it really is? What if one day you wake up as a baby and realize your whole life was a dream? It is all done by your imagination. You're not really here you're just believing you're here. For all you know you're actually an alien on mars on drugs and you're imagining what other life is like. You're imagination is vast. You don't want to stop believing because you're scared what might happen next, that's why we carry on. No one knows what happens after death. Do you enter another world of imagination? Do you repeat your life again just without no memory of doing this at all? Are you reborn as someone else? We all eventually die. We all stop breathing and thinking at one point. What happens after that? Only our imagination will know. We wont know because the universe doesn't think we are prepared for the answer yet.
