Hello /sci/. I usually post on /pol/, /int/ and /ck/.
I've just read a book that blew my mind: "Biocentrism" by Robert Lanza. I'm not sure if my conclusions are correct, but he basically says we create the universe by observing it.

A couple of things really made me wonder. The first is that old question:
>If a tree falls in a forest and nobody observes it, does it make a sound?
The answer is "No". Sound is a sense perception that requires a listener.

The second is about rainbows.
>If there is no observer to see a rainbow, then it cannot exist.
It's just water droplets falling in a certain way through light viewed by a conscious being. It has no existence without an observer.

I'll dump science related pic and gifs in the hope of a discussion about this.
