That which gives rise to experimental results and perception. If you don't think there's a real world responsible for those, then how do you explain what we sense and the results from experiments? What makes the technology work? God?
- gowld 8y agoI surely don't know. That's metaphysics, not science.
- stcredzero 8y agoI surely don't know. That's metaphysics, not science. But you can clearly do science on the technology. People do this with high degrees of success, developing theoretical models with high predictive ability. It's called "reverse engineering." If you're going to retreat into metaphysical mumbo-jumbo, that's up to you. The doing and the results will speak for themselves, and no one will pay attention to the metaphysical mumbo-jumbo obscurantists.

- goatlover 8y agoI mean that if reality (nature, the world) isn't responsible for our experiences of a world, including scientific experiments, then what is? Does the empirical just a appear for no reason with nothing behind it?
