Thy Hand Great Illusion

“We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep”
Prospero

What our physics leading us to? The physical world around us is sometimes so much confusing and counterintuitive that we often misinterpret it by our introspection. A long time ago people used to think that the sun rotates around the earth. And that was quite obvious as we see the sun to rise in east and set in the west. Our modern physics is speculating that the universe is ten dimensional. The question arises why we don’t sense this ten dimensional universe. Our everyday experience tells us that the space has only three dimensions, it has length, breath and height and another dimension being time. And similarly the indications of Quantum Mechanics are so much counterintuitive. What our experience tells and what our mathematics tells are often contradictory. Our mathematically perceived world is different from the world we experience everyday. Why is this deception? Are we living in sea of great illusion? And the most important question may arise then is that illusion essential for our existence? It is as if that a great soap is being televised from some divine (?) studio and we are the spectators as well as part of that soap. How can one define the link, the interaction between the phenomenal space-time and the physical space-time? What is the relation between the consciousness and the brain? Mind and the matter? The recent demonstration by neuroscience and psychophysics show that we do not perceive the world as it actually is but as the brain computes it most probably to be. Do our mind, consciousness and thought exist beyond the physical space-time composed of matter, space and time?
