“Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.”
― Albert Einstein
What is the one thing that is always questioned but never understood?
The one thing that is always there but never seen?
You can't smell it, see it, taste it?
You can feel it though but we will never know exactly why?
Probably one of the most persistent things on earth and no one will ever grasp it. Only now are we grasping at its straws.
We know how to defy it, but we don't know how to remove it fully.
Think about it.....
Gravity.
Gravity is all around us and we can't see it. I can't smell gravity or taste it and no one truly knows why we have it. Something so quintessential to our everyday lives on this earth and no one really questions how or why we have gravity. It keeps the EVERYTHING from aimlessly floating off into space.
In actuality we should have probably been devoured by the sun a millennia ago, but were still here. Miraculously.
I asked google what is gravity? and this is what it gave me
"Gravity is a force pulling together all matter (which is anything you can physically touch). The more matter, the more gravity, so things that have a lot of matter such as planets and moons and stars pull more strongly.
Mass is how we measure the amount of matter in something. The more massive something is, the more of a gravitational pull it exerts. As we walk on the surface of the Earth, it pulls on us, and we pull back. But since the Earth is so much more massive than we are, the pull from us is not strong enough to move the Earth, while the pull from the Earth can make us fall flat on our faces.
In addition to depending on the amount of mass, gravity also depends on how far you are from something. This is why we are stuck to the surface of the Earth instead of being pulled off into the Sun, which has many more times the gravity of the Earth".
This definition is quite thorough but it skirts around the actual question? What actually is gravity? It's a force yes but WHY? Why does all matter pull together? Why does it keep us on this earth? And how could, out of the nothing that is black matter, did this "gravity" come from.
But my main point to this is that we can't explain something that effects us sooo heavily? But we sit here and try to explain everything else. Like how other planets are constructed and how we are constructed. But we just can't. Everything we know is hypothesized. Math and science were created by man just like religion and how do we know that anything we have hypothesized is actually true. How do we know anything? If we can't explain the one thing that is happening to us all the time. How could we explain anything else.
Our reality is man made. Our speech is just noises coming out of our mouths our letters are just random lines combined to look aesthetically pleasing and our languages are all just random letters combined meticulously to create a locally excepted way of communicating. But we created all of it. We have created our reality's and the thing is my reality is different from yours and your neighbors and the bagger at the grocery store. Because every single one of us has something different going on in that random head of ours but we all except some concepts as the truth. As un-moving unwavering constants that can not be questioned. They just are. But probably the biggest constant can't even be explained. Still we create all these things and all these hypothesis's to explain the world we live in and we just can't.
We could never explain the world we live in. We could never explain other worlds. We can't fathom our own world non the less to try and apply these shaky constants to another world.
Completely preposterous. But i guess it's a good past time.
