RE: Black Holes and Misconceptions - What Do We Really Know About The World?
Excellent observation! Your post is complementary to a recent post by @alexander.alexis, which your esteemed.
Regarding black holes, they are not really "holes" but encapsulation of space-time upon itself, in which the events within the encapsulation does not affect the events outside the encapsulation; thus, the conceptually baffling theoretical phenomenon of the monkey suspended in space-time at the event horizon of a black hole.
Regarding replacement of human tissues on daily, if not hourly basis, the conceptually baffling phenomenon of scars freezes the mind from accepting the above fact. If we replace all our cells in 7-years, then why the scars? What information "encodes" scars?
I think these conceptually difficult phenomenon causes some to speculate that we live in a simulation of reality rather than reality itself.
Yeah, it was funny because Alexander and I were writing on similar themes at the same time - synchronicity. I left a comment on his post about it.
Scars endure because the replacement cells are always a little crappier than the originals, and seem to respond to the stresses suffered by the originals. Hence aging. It seems a shame, doesn't it? Like, your car breaks down and you get to replace it with a model that's just as old, but at least it runs okay, for a while longer.
Philip K Dick would agree with you!
I just now realized how much his work predated the simulation theory that has only now become popular!
