What if we are the universe experiencing itself?

Personally, I don’t buy into this idea. Duality seems to triumph over balance.

It could answer what's the point of life.

I heard someone talking about we only see what's in front of us and everything behind us isn't there because we aren't viewing it, but if someone stands in front of me they can see behind me and I can see behind them so everything is there.

Ah, the old "out of sight out of mind" taken to new heights. You know, that's how they managed to get Quake II running so well on the original Playstation. (I just watched that Modern Vintage Gamer episode)

jeah not sure if i understand that right but its like u go out into the space far away into another galaxy like and the room is "made" or opened by our sight i guess, like theres no end of room nor universe itself asfar (aslong) we give it sight.

Depends on how you define "reality". What does it take for us to consider something real?

Confirmation from others?
Scientific proof?
Just seeing it?

Well basically the "universe" is just a concept in our minds due to what we process from the senses input.

We call it "real" since others confirm seeing/hearing the same thing.

If the universe is truly massive as some speculate, then we don't even register in the universe, not even on the quantum level, we are not even seen as bacteria.

our simple little minds can't comprehend we are truly meaningless next to the universe and some are arrogant enough to think we can make a difference in our little area of one unremarkable galaxy amongst thousands of others that are in our visible range with that giant tin can orbiting our planet seeing different radiation spectra, yet millions of years in the universe may as well be a billionth of a split second to the universe, so countless civilisations can rise and fall and we'd still count for nothing.

All of those are valid. Personally speaking, I consider it an inherent intuition with proof to back it.

It doesn't bother me, even if we found out scientific evidence of every question known to man, What do i get out of it??

i think its all about mind control ie modern day slavery "religion", think of what people might think depending on thier "worldview", your worldview defines what people are willing to do, a simple question into the matter about "reality" of the universe, or is universe actually "real" as in what is the nature of "matter", is it actually "there", is it some form of "oasis" ie a complex illusion or a dream, cause what is dream really? the fact that you wake up and realize it was a dream after you wake up, ie even totally madeup reality "feels real" until you "wake up" ie end up possible in some another "relative" experience, does life "lacking" the same pace of change as actual dream make it fundamentally different from a "dream", does tires of different size and properties make them any more fundamentally different in what they are? what is science hiding? why we are being told of reality as some sort of "constant", is reality even physically "there", is it an abosulote truth that reality is "real".
