Does the universe even exist?

[ey88]

Once you die

Once you die

Solipsism maxxing

 

[autistic_tendencies]

It’s all in your mind

 

[swt]

Yes it does and you know that because you’re experiencing

 

[ItsOverLawg]

Actually
We're all just the mere breathes in the vast swipe of the universe
Once WE die, the universe ceases to exist as what it does in OUR understanding
We become one with the cosmos

 

[notplayer22]

Nah

 

[RICHCELDOM]

We can't prove anything beyond our consciousness

What if nothing can observe the universe, does it still exist?

 

[Klasik616]

Because you're thinking, you're like a AI incapable of seeing itself outside the information the AI has. They would never know humans see them, specially the ones who designed the AI. The question is absurd, you cannot answer it. Not even I because it would mean "I can get out of my consciousness and become God". If anything exists it has to be perceived.

Bruh I'm about to get a panic attack

No
"The universe" would not exist if no one is perceiving it. It doesn't stop existing because beings are living in them.

You cannot ask unliving beings if they exist without living beings.

 

[ey88]

No

Why?

 

[ItsOverLawg]

What if nothing can observe the universe, does it still exist?

Pretty much yes
As far as the human understanding of the cosmos goes, we humans are the only beings (unless some other sentient race is out there) out here for like a billion light years.
If we don't exist, the universe will still exist.
The universe is the one observing us, not us observing it

The universe is not a being, the universe cannot observe. Prove "the universe" is cappable of perception. Also humans might not be the only smart animals in the entire world. The sun or a comet doesn't observe you, it's the other way around.

The universe is just as much of a being as we are

Yea that's what I implied as well
Don't you think there's some other forces at work that MIGHT be existing to observe us?

Definitely, to support earth?
But physics study unliving beings so an answer for something like "does the universe exists ahead of consciousness" is impossible.

You have to know if consciousness dies or not, impossible to answer cus you need to wait the moment you die.

I meant as in some sentient forces or race that is way ahead of the human intelligence and capabilities that is secretly observing us

If you're asking this question it means you're not sure about this. So the official answer is no. Apparently no other animal ahead of earth is controlling humans.

Oh alright
