The following questions are addressed in this chapter. They are better discussed in a group to allow a variety of opinions to emerge. The relevant section link is given after each question:
1. In what sense is current physics a hollow science? What is missing? (QR1.1.2)
2. Why is it hard to argue for dualism, for a mental world as well as a physical one? (QR1.2.2)
3. How does an objective reality differ from a virtual reality? (QR1.2.3)
4. Has science proved that the physical world is an objective reality? (QR1.2.3)
5. How does quantum realism agree with The Matrix movie? How does it differ? (QR1.2.5)
6. How are quantum realism and physical realism the same? How are they different? (QR1.2.5)
7. Could science still operate in a virtual reality? (QR1.2.6)
8. What physical evidence fits the theory that the physical world is a virtual reality? (QR1.3.1)
9. Why do many physicists deny that quantum events cause physical events? (QR1.3.2)
10. Can the physical world compute itself? Give reasons. (QR1.4.1)
11. Could a physical universe that is all there is create itself in a big bang? Give reasons. (QR1.4.2)
12. How did our space begin if there was no time for it to begin in? (QR1.4.2)
13. How did our time begin if there was no space for it to begin at? (QR1.4.2)
14. How can space be both nothing and something? (QR1.4.3)
15. Why can’t anything go faster than light? (QR1.4.4)
16. Is physics more scientific because it studies real physical events? (QR1.4.5)
17. Is quantum realism falsifiable? Is physical realism falsifiable? (QR1.5.1)
18. How can quantum realism be evaluated scientifically? (QR1.5.2)
19. What is Occam’s razor? Does it support physical realism? (QR1.6.1)
