The more I think about nature, the more I get dumbfounded.
Think about space for example. Every two points in space can be connected by entangled particles. You just have to prepare your experimental apparatus properly (the same way as thought experiments with light do not restrict relativity to light-related phenomena, entanglement experiments do not restrict our view of space to entanglement-like phenomena). Therefore it seems that our usual concept of distance is weird to say the least! Some food for thought: Is our concept of space merely a cognitive illusion? A figment of our imagination? A state of mind?
What about the character of time: simple relativity tells us that if you maintain that your Now is equally valid as any observer's Now, independent of their state of motion, the set of all Nows encompasses all events in spacetime. In Einstein own words, "...the distinction between past, present and future is only an illusion, however persistent". In other words time is "out there"!
We have sufficient clues from different philosophical investigations that the world as we see, feel, smell, etc (see posting "Things-in-Themselves") is not the world-in-itself. These arguments from modern physics, in a specific way, only confirm such point of view.
Also, is there any connection between these arguments and the non-plurality described by the Vedanta? If time doesn't "flow" (all events occur at "simultaneously") and if any two infinitely distanced points are connected in some way...
About the picture above. Try not looking directly at it.
