We Live in Other Worlds

I wouldn't be aware of it if I didn't exist! The question arises in my mind, how can we be sure how real the existence of life is? I am trying to understand. I exist that I am trying to understand, and you exist that you are reading this article.

Let's say there is a universe somewhere that has its own rules and an order of its own.

But since there are no people in that universe, no one knows what it is like. 

It has no communication with our universe. There is no signal coming from it. 

Therefore, we cannot observe anything in our universe that we can be aware of its existence.

In this case, can we say whether that universe exists or not?

Of course not!

Let us imagine that such a universe actually exists. 

We don't know about it, but let's suppose there is such a universe.

The laws of physics would be different there. 

For example, there would be no such thing as gravity.

Don't say there is no such thing. 

Even in our world, there are environments without gravity.

Come on, you're talking rubbish, I hear you say. 

I'm not kidding, there really are gravity-free environments in our world. And they're pretty big environments.

Actually, I'm digressing a bit, of course. 

When I say there is no gravity, I mean that gravity is not felt in the living environment in the world.   

In short, I'm talking about water, seas, oceans.

How effective do you think gravity is for a fish?

Do you think a fish would feel gravity if it were in its right mind?

Fish have air sacs in the water to stabilise gravity. 

Therefore, they can easily swim towards the surface or reach the bottom of the water whenever they want. 

While doing this, the effect of gravity is not a perceptible effect for a fish, as their bladders function automatically by themselves.

Now I think what I mean is clear. 

If we were living in water like a fish and we had air sacs like fish, I think it would have been very difficult for Newton to find gravity.

Imagine a completely different universe like this, but in which the laws of physics are very different.

We can also imagine that the speed of light is another constant value, or something else is a constant value of that universe.

Since we are not there, we can say that such a universe does not exist for us. But I guess no one can claim that it doesn't exist.

Maybe it exists.

Since we cannot find any evidence of its existence even with the calculations we make within our own universe, let us say that it is not possible for us to be sure of its existence or non-existence.

Because we do not know, we are not informed, we cannot be informed.

We may assume that it does not exist, or it may exist.

Now let's fictionalise this a little bit for our universe. 

You don't exist, I don't exist, imagine that no human consciousness living at the moment remains in our universe in some way.

In this case, is there anyone who can say that our universe exists? 

Since there is no consciousness, I think there will be no one who can say that this universe also exists.

Even if you alone do not exist, you will have no knowledge of the existence of this universe, because you do not exist! 

It doesn't make any difference to you that all other people exist. 

Or me, it doesn't matter, I am aware of the existence of the universe I live in because I exist. 

I wouldn't be aware if I didn't exist!

The question arises in my mind, how can we be sure how real the existence of life is? 

I am trying to understand.

I exist that I am trying to understand, and you exist that you are reading this article.

What I am talking about is not about the idea of existence, which philosophers throughout history have pondered over and analysed deeply.

I am talking about our own self. I am saying that if you did not exist, you would be unaware of what is happening in this world.

But your existence is not like the existence of a stone. Because you are aware that you exist.

The political earthquake that is on the agenda these days is on the one hand, and those who were trapped under the rubble of the real earthquake and slowly and painfully bid farewell to this life are on the other. Moreover, when I think of that mother who said, "Leave me alone, my baby is frozen, he is not breathing anymore" and the end of her life with the wound in her conscience, I feel like saying never mind.

While there are still those who are still struggling for life in the region, while there are still earthquake victims to whom the huge state is still unable to extend a helping hand, while the existence of this world no longer has any meaning for so many lives lost, we who are alive have become political earthquake victims because of the dirty face of politics because of a meaningless dispute.

I think it is long past time for this nation to erase all those who caused this absurd disaster from the agenda.

Life is still very beautiful. Since we still exist, let us fulfil our reason for being and make our choices according to how we want to live.

Let those who think politics is child's play do whatever they want in that other universe we do not know. 

Personally, I don't even want to be aware of their existence anymore.

Love and respect to everyone from Moscow
