Anyone believing the lies and utter nonsense of the two articles below is a fool. An ignorant and utterly lost fool. Captured in their ignorance as a slave to the devil, his lies, and every deception.

The following clearly reveals the lost state of the human mind at this point in the last hour. People having been given over to their reprobate, foolish, wicked, and unrighteous thinking by God [see Romans 1].

Claiming to be wise, they became fools…

Romans 1:22 — English Standard Version

The ignorance of man is revealed in our constant and foolish debates and quest to replace God with ourselves. The physical Tower of Babel may have been felled, but the spirit, that evil spirit that was present then in the hearts of men is evermore present now. Does a tree that falls in the forest make a sound if no one is there to hear? Of course it does! How stupid can people be? Especially so-called scientists! Any object passing through time and space creates waves, waves of sound — a bullet fired, a baseball thrown, a person diving into a refreshing lake on a hot summer day, flames reaching into the sky in a wildfire, a bee, a butterfly passing by, a word spoken, and, yes, a tree falling in the woods where no one is around to hear.

Also, those who contend all we see is NOT reality should not be compensated and paid for such lies and nonsense, but there should be a revival of building and housing such lunatics and the certifiably insane as there once were. Now they are loosed on the world and given credence. And their lies and rebellion within them are cast out into the world and far too many heed their lies and insanity.

And what you see? It did not occur 15 seconds ago in the past. No matter what a so-called scientific experiment may declare. Science has become corrupted as have all things. No longer is science empirical and seeking to be unbiased and pure. Hardly.

Discern wisely and do not be taken in and deceived by the proclamations of this age, the last of the last days.

while evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.

2 Timothy 3:13 — English Standard Version

Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons,

1 Timothy 4:1 — English Standard Version

Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

Ephesians 5:6 — English Standard Version

For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.

Matthew 24:24 — English Standard Version

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.

1 John 4:1 — English Standard Version

And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds

2 Corinthians 11:14-15 — English Standard Version

Everyone is going to discover what eternal reality is. Tragically, unless an individual hears the Lord seeking them, acknowledges their being a sinner in need of salvation, submitting and believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, in all of the Holy Bible, confessing their sin, and committing their life to have Jesus become not only their Saviour but Lord of their life? Truly renewed of mind and spirit, changed within as only the power of the Holy Spirit working in an individual can? Becoming a true disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ faithfully, obediently?

Well, their eternity is going to be a reality they will regret forever — FOREVER, which is kind of a long, long, long time — every second of FOREVER in pain, agony, regret, suffering for their refusing the truth and the light and preferring the lies of Satan and remaining darkness.

This world is passing and no longer will be a reality.

The lasting reality, the eternal REALITY is the spiritual realm. Where will your spirit and soul reside for eternity? There are only two possibilities. No others.

Objective Reality May Not Exist at All, Quantum Physicists Say

 

June 29, 2022

  • One of the biggest mysteries in quantum mechanics is whether physical reality exists independent of its observer.
  • New research from Brazil provides strong evidence that there might be mutually exclusive, yet complementary physical realities in the quantum realm.
  • Future research on the great quantum debate might give us super-disruptive quantum technologies—and probably startling answers to the world’s greatest mysteries.

Does reality exist, or does it take shape when an observer measures it? Akin to the age-old conundrum of whether a tree makes a sound if it falls in a forest with no one around to hear it, the above question remains one of the most tantalizing in the field of quantum mechanics, the branch of science dealing with the behavior of subatomic particles on the microscopic level.

In a field where intriguing, almost mysterious phenomena like “quantum superposition” prevail—a situation where one particle can be in two or even “all” possible places at the same time—some experts say reality exists outside of your own awareness, and there’s nothing you can do to change it. Others insist “quantum reality” might be some form of Play-Doh you mold into different shapes with your own actions. Now, scientists from the Federal University of ABC (UFABC) in the São Paulo metropolitan area in Brazil are adding fuel to the suggestion that reality might be “in the eye of the observer.”

In their new research, published in the journal Communications Physics in April, the scientists in Brazil attempted to verify the “complementarity principle” the famous Danish physicist Niels Bohr proposed in 1928. It states that objects come with certain pairs of complementary properties, which are impossible to observe or measure at the same time, like energy and duration, or position and momentum. For example, no matter how you set up an experiment involving a pair of electrons, there’s no way you can study the position of both quantities at the same time: the test will illustrate the position of the first electron, but obscure the position of the second particle (the complementary particle) at the same time.

“God Does Not Play Dice”

To understand how this complementarity principle relates to objective reality, we need to dive back into history, about a century ago. A legendary debate took place in Brussels in 1927 between Bohr and the celebrated German-born theoretical physicist Albert Einstein during the fifth Solvay Conference (the most important annual international conference in physics and chemistry).

Before the eyes of 77 other brilliant scientists, who had all gathered in the Austrian capital to discuss the nascent field of quantum theory, Einstein insisted that quantum states had their own reality independent of how a scientist acted upon them. Bohr, meanwhile, defended the idea that quantum systems can only have their own reality defined after the scientist has set up the experimental design.

“God does not play dice,” Einstein said.

“A system behaves as a wave or a particle depending on context, but you cannot predict which it will do,” argued Bohr, pointing to the concept of wave-particle duality, which says that matter may appear as a wave in one moment, and appear as a particle in another moment, an idea that French physicist Louis de Broglie first put forth in 1924.

The “Complementarity Principle”

It didn’t take long after the conclusion of the 1927 Solvay Conference for Bohr to publicly articulate his complementarity principle. Over the next few decades, the controversial Bohr notion would be tested and retested to the bone. One of those that experimented with the complementarity principle was American theoretical physicist John Archibald Wheeler.

Wheeler attempted to reimagine Thomas Young’s 1801 double-slit experiment into the properties of light in 1978. The two-slit experiment involves shining a light on a wall with two parallel slits. As the light passes through each slit, on the far side of the divider, it diffracts and overlaps with the light from the other slit, interfering with one another. That means no more straight lines: the graph pattern that emerges at the end of the experiment is an interference pattern, which means that the light is moving in waves. Essentially, light has both a particle and a wave nature, and these two natures are inseparable.

Everything You See Is From 15 Seconds in the Past, New Research Claims

  • new experiment reveals that our vision is up to 15 seconds behind real time.
  • Our eyes smooth out how we see the world, but scientists don’t fully know how.
  • This experiment helps narrow it down to an idea called “serial dependence.”

Open the camera app on your phone and start recording a video. Place the screen right in front of your eyes and try to use the live footage as a viewfinder. Tricky, right? The shapes, colors, and motion in the video are jarring. Scientists say this exercise is a close approximation of the messy visual data that our eyes constantly bombard our brain with. So how exactly do we see without feeling dizzy or nauseated?

In a new paper published last month in the journal Science Advances, researchers from the University of Aberdeen and the University of California, Berkeley describe a “previously unknown visual illusion” that helps us smooth out what we see over time.

“Instead of analysing every single visual snapshot, we perceive in a given moment an average of what we saw in the past 15 seconds,” the authors note in a piece published in The Conversation, a website where scientists routinely detail their latest work. “So, by pulling together objects to appear more similar to each other, our brain tricks us into perceiving a stable environment. Living ‘in the past’ can explain why we do not notice subtle changes that occur over time.”

This “illusion of visual stability” is an idea that may require a bit of explaining before it makes intuitive sense. Consider our eyes’ ability to focus on items some distance away, remaining stable in their ability to “lock on” to objects in their path. Now, think about what happens to your eyeballs, themselves, while they’re focused; they must move all around in order to maintain that smooth feeling while they focus on objects off in the distance—like a gyroscope that always remains upright.

As the researchers put it in their paper:

“Retinal images continuously fluctuate because of many sources of internal and external noise ranging from retinal image motion, occlusions and discontinuities, lighting changes, and perspective changes, among many other sources of noise. However, the objects do not appear to jitter, fluctuate, or change identity from moment to moment.”

Retinal images continuously fluctuate because of many sources of internal and external noise ranging from retinal image motion, occlusions and discontinuities, lighting changes, and perspective changes, among many other sources of noise. However, the objects do not appear to jitter, fluctuate, or change identity from moment to moment.

There are different theories to explain how our eyes and brain work together to smooth out what we see around us. Those include “change blindness” (when a stimulus changes but we don’t notice it) and “inattentional blindness” (our failure to notice a visible object because our attention is focused elsewhere), factors that would explain our relative lack of jitters despite the kaleidoscope-like mess of our perception. Those theories have inspired real technologies like smoothing software for smartphone videos. But in this study, the researchers sought to better understand a different theory known as “serial dependence.”

“Serial dependence causes objects at any moment to be misperceived as being more similar to those in the recent past,” the researchers explain. That means our brains compare the live picture from our eyes to images from the very recent past, mistakenly finding that the two are the same. This creates a smoothing effect by reducing the overall number of “frames” in play as we look at and perceive objects.

To test this theory, the researchers built an experiment (above) where people watched a progressively changing image that either shows a face morphing from young to old or old to young. If our brains are locked in the very recent past, they’ll register a lag between the age we perceive the face to be in the changing picture versus the real age of the face in the picture.

To further test the specifics of serial dependence, the researchers put growing intervals of time in the middle of the moving picture, starting at one second and going all the way up to 15 seconds while still registering the same illusory misgauging of the picture’s age. This means our brains are capable of smoothing out images that are as old as 15 seconds… or possibly even older.

So the next time you take a shaky phone video, remember that your brain is working extra hard to stabilize your visual field across 15 or more seconds to keep your picture smooth and uninterrupted.
