How do you know that most of your of life hasn't been a dream? That you won't wake up suddenly, find yourself just 14 years old in your bed, with all your subsequent "life" just a vivid dream?
For that matter, how do you know you aren't just a disembodied brain in a vat somewhere, hooked up to some alien contraption, with all your memories an illusion? Is it possible to ever be certain of anything at all, even of the most basic questions such as the state of your existence? |

I heard an intersting twist on this concept
How do we know that the world was not created 15 minutes ago? There is no real 'proof' of the past except memories (both physical and mental) but if there is a 'being' powerful enough to create a physical world, then it would be powerful enough to put 'memories' into our brain and create the physical memories (pics/videos/books/etc...) that go along with them. So maybe everything that you think you have experienced in life is actually just a planted memory and in reality the world just appeared 15 minutes ago! ------------------ http://www.bestanimations.com/fantas.../dragon-04.gif Never try to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and it annoys the pig I've got to admit it's getting better, it's getting better all the time |

The only way to back up the fact that we exist is our personal consiesness (I think I spelled that wrong)
