Hmmm...so your assertion, Bill, is that no experience of reality is to be trusted? And further, that reality is an objective set of conditions separate from experience?

Surely not. What differentiates the reality perceived by an observant physicist and that observed by an observant musician, plumber or grade school teacher?

The fact that mass delusion is possible does not mean that a high number of independent observers reporting similar experiences are deluded--such an attitude carries cynicism beyond reason.

Here's an interesting book for you tor ead: The Field, L. McTaggert. In it she compiles a long narrative of scientific experiments touching on the very nature of observation and awareness. She also sketches some liberal conclusions from them, which you are of course at liberty to reject.

I think you uber-Newtonian perspective of space-time as a safe, stable external box is a bit outdated, my friend.
