Gravity could be the definitive clue that the universe is one giant computer

Modern ideas about reality sometimes sound like a wild story. The notion that everything around us might be bits and bytes is easy to brush aside, yet it continues to intrigue many.

Is your green the same as mine? Probably not.

But does that mean color is just in the eye of the beholder?

Philosophers argue no — colors are as objective as length or temperature. Despite variations in perception, color can be measured in science, biology and everyday life 🧪 💚
Colors are objective, according to two philosophers − even though the blue you see doesn’t match what I see
An object’s color appears differently under different lighting and against different backgrounds − for different viewers. But that doesn’t mean colors are subjective.

No data mortality thoughts tonight. The United States high death rate has two causes.
1. Evangelicals using prayer instead of health care.
2. Capitalist health insurance denying middle aged care by high prices, high co-pay and denying care. Without these killers we would be normal.🧪☠️ #Sociology
