CAD needs a different dollar symbol for the chud currency of inflation, I propose :3 .

@raisedadust @PhysInHistory George Berkeley is a great example of the idea that physical reality relies upon observation. “Three Dialogues Between Hylas and Philonous” is another one of his works that lays out that idea nicely.

esse est percipi According to George Berkeley nothing exists unperceived. Although provoking for many, this is cleverly laid out in his work "A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge".

Can the laws of physics exist without a conscious observer? ✍️

This is an excellent debate and one which contains many interesting ideas. I lean towards the side that the laws of physics exist only because of the conscious observer, and would recommend Robert Lanza’s “Biocentrism” (2009) for any interested in further reading on the topic.
