> We set up a control group for science. An entire field of science devoted to studying a phenomenon which doesn't exist. That this "phenomenon" does not and cannot exist is the foundational assumption of modern science. Back in the days when the Laws of Thermodynamics were being figured out to describe the properties of steam engines, a few chemists realized that everything in the universe could be described in terms of indivisible 'atoms'. Atoms aren't indivisible anymore, but the assumption lives on. Life is much more interesting if one assumes that our 3d-reality is but a projection of a higher-ordered reality.
