New Scientist has a very interesting article in their 50th anniversary issue. It’s written by Roger Penrose and it’s titled “What is Reality?”.
He makes a convincing case for the presence of an actual reality outside our own minds. That is, we perceive reality through our senses, as opposed to creating “a” reality in our minds. This is directly in opposition to the Maya (illusion) Indian school of thought, which claims that everything is an illusion.
He explains in a crystal clear manner what were inchoate thoughts in my mind. I am convinced by this article.
