Light is just waves picked up by our eyes, therefore, nothing is real.

If nothing is real then our definition of real is meaningless.

Let's redefine "real" as the everything that we used to think is "real".

Oh look at that, it doesn't make a fucking difference.

Yes and sound is just airwaves picked interpreted by our brains.

This is actually an interesting viewpoint. We can say: colors are not real, it's just our brains interpreting em waves. But then, we are the universe and everything we experience must therefore be real. What the fuck is all this anyway? How can I experience anything if it is not real? It must be real, otherwise I cannot experience it.

It's all real- just in your head.

But my head is the universe. If the universe is experiencing something, like the color blue or music from Mozart, it is the universe that is also experiencing it. So the experience of things in itself must also be real, not just "an illusion". What this means in the grand scheme I don't know mane.

Are you saying that light isn't real?

I think what you are really wanting to say is, "we do not truly perceive thins as they are." Would you agree?

Light isnt just waves though stooge, it is also a particle and a photon. Look it up and be scientifically literate

>> No.7630972

>>7630942
Let me rephrase that, quantum physics suports the theory that light is a photon, and then wave and particle physics apply for light as well so its either a wave, particle or a photon or all three.

>> No.7630992

>>7630942
This is bullshit because em waves follow directly from Maxwell.

>> No.7630993

>>7630972
Good god why do you try to explain something you don't know about?

It's a particle, called a photon. At the same time, it is a wave, because said particle acts like a wave. Wave-particle duality. Same time. Not one or the other. Not theory, fact.
