physics

There might be reasons you may imagine yourself as a real being while there might be moment in your life in which you may have felt the nothingness of your being and the universe around you. Here is five reasons why you may have had a real experience:

1- Physics challenges our understanding of reality!

What is 2+2? You may say 4 and you may be right in most of the normal occasions. However in modern physics we look at this answer with a little bit more caution. If we are looking at event too large or too small then relativity or quantum physics may stop us from giving the same answer too quickly. To shuttles flying towards each other at an extreme speed of 200,000 km/s would not see themselves collapsing at the speed of 2+2 = 400,000 km/s! The same would go if you look at quantum events. This should make us rethink our understanding of reality and if we don't have a clue what reality is, then how would we call this world or ourselves REAL?

2- We are made of almost nothing!

Much changed since Newton suggested the conservation law over 250 years ago; his proposition became popular while it hasn't been checked for all conditions in laboratory, and laboratories were poor for experiments. In recent times has been observed that matter behaves according to different rules in high temperatures (plasma), low temperatures (superconducting) and magnetic field not always obey conservation laws in standard temperatures.
