Consciousness

  I have the same feeling. Not only that, but since learning about the properties of subatomic particles, and how different their behavior is from everything we experience every day, I have the feeling we are in a kind of Truman Show. Every time we find some answers, we discover another layer of mystery. It is as if we had two lives: one conventional, with our partners, work, worrying about Russia etc., and another one, where the universe is made up mostly of void, with the rest of the space being filled by what we currently call quantum fields organizing in particles forming our experience of the universe and being, down to photons reflected from surfaces and striking cells in our eyes so that the brain can flip the vision upside down and interpret it with some anticipation, so even our idea of "present" is somewhat illusory. Frankly, the reality itself is just amazing.
