"There is no gene for the human spirit"

The brain is just a receptor of something larger and outside the body, not the originator. Just like your pc monitor is just getting info from your modem.....Only we can see the modem...the monitor is only projecting...not the source....

would this forum count as a psychic connection, since technicaly we are cominicatin here with our minds and not using verbal contact?

Oh yeah! I'm using verbal communication, you just can't hear me. 😆

How do we know? It wouldn't need to exist if there was nothing there to experience it. Nobody would be able to see it to know if it's true, and that's why the sky isn't red at night 🙂 .

Remember this: 'The sky is only blue because that is what we named the color'

Haha, yes that's true, but the sky should be red at nighttime (according to many of those who believe the big bang. But now we're moving off subject)

Tell me what the color red has to do with the big bang? Are you talking about redshift 😆. Redshift has nothing to do with the color red, it is the shift in the absorption spectrum toward the red end of the light scale.

How do you know nothing is experiencing it?

The imagination station...Some of the best things in life are invisible.

We cannot talk about existence of something without linking ourselves to it.

yes

NO....energy cannot be destroyed...only changes form.

Quantum physics says that the universe wouldn´t exist if we were not here to experience it, in quantum physics, things just exist when we experience/measure it. We are always trying to differentiate facts from belief, but we cannot do much more than just believe in the facts.

Esse est percipi - Russel.

In other words: Being is perception.

Everyone but me is dead. I kill myself.
The universe is destroyed?

Yes, it is destroyed, nobody is there to feel it, nobody is there to believe it is around anymore and everyone will be somewhere else 🙂 .

I'm the last person there and I shoot myself in femoral artery. My body is still there. I slowly bleed to death. The exact moment I lose consciousness the energy and matter of the universe cease to exist? What if I somehow regain consciousness? The universe all somehow reconstitutes?
Sorry I'm not narcissistic or stupid enough to buy that.

No, the moment you cannot come back the universe will cease to exist. Not "after you've lost consciousness" it will be once your soul has departed the universe completely.

I'm the last person alive, I sever all my cranial nerves except the vagus nerve and manage to give myself a frontal lobotomy. My body is alive but only on reflex. The universe exists or it doesn't?

You're still alive. Aslong as your body can survive your Soul will stay until it can't. And if your soul stays the universe will.
