Thoughts from Outside the Box

Thoughts from Outside the Box

Lately I keep thinking about the box. If you don't know what I'm referring to, please read my previous blog. It seems to be the most workable, usable model I've come across - so much so that I believe it to be true - not just a model! And why can't it be?

Inside the box is the physical world. And inside the box is where we have experiences using the five senses. As the world outside the box is not physical, it is impossible to measure it, or prove it using the 5 senses. So, those requiring such proofs will never acknowledge that there is a realm outside the box. Science is always discovering new things - planets rotating around the sun, curved space, even those in mathematics have set out to prove that time is not linear, but circular, and it's only a matter of time before science catches up. But at some point, science will hit a boundary and it will never be able to take us further than the walls of the box.

So, it's altogether possible that a realm outside the physical world exists. One cannot prove that it does and one cannot prove that it doesn't. Isn't it worth exploring though?
