THE FOLLOWING ARE PASSAGES FROM THE GRAND DESIGN BY STEPHEN HAWKING

Prescribed to put light of how the west thinks about MAYA-illusion

Alternative reality in the film ‘Matrix’ in which the human race is living in a virtual reality created by intelligent computers to keep them pacified and content while the computers suck their bioelectrical energy.

 Many prefer to spend their time in the simulated reality of websites such as second life. How do we not know we are just characters in a computer generated soap opera?

 Or in an overlap over our lives is there an alien controlling our lives. Meaning we are figments of someone else’s dream.

Examples of how baffling relativity is leading us to believe we live in a imaginary world:

Example: A ball bouncing on a jet plane:

To an observer in the jet plane there will be zero distance. But to one observing from the ground the plane would have shifted to a large distance. Thus the two observers would not agree to the two events. This is a relative movement.

Example: Two observers moving at a clock

To an observer at rest the clock moves faster while to an observer moving the clock moves slower.

Similarly pulses of tail light to observer in the plane and at ground.

 

In Italy pets were barred from owners from keeping Gold Fish in curved Gold Fish bowls. Argument, gazing out the fish would have a distorted view of reality.

Might not we be made inside some big Gold Fish bowl and hence our vision distorted by an enormous lens.
