# So Physics doesn't exist either?
Einstein's special relativity was an explanation of how the universe interacts, so presumably it doesn't exist. Anyway i'm being facetious now.

Numbers are to objects what letters are to sounds. The numbers and letters as them self don't really mean much, but their link to sounds, words, quantities or distances gives them their meaning and conceptual value.

# But surely Maths is just equations which explain the relationships between quantities and distances and areas and volumes.
Almost all known fields hinge on some vitally arbitrary measure, whether that be numbers or letters or words, both maths and physics could no doubt be rethought it completely different ways with nothing which even resembles numbers. But it would still be the same expression just using different measures.

# As a Solipsist I would take exception to that comment.
But i'm afraid I can't because you don't exist.


I think even the most hardened of Solipsists don't actually think that other people don't exist, because that would be a blatant assumption on par with god like faith. They can never be sure, and they can never really know if other people experience the same degree of consciousness they do, nor if anything they see or interact with is a real representation of reality.

I wouldn't say they are dangerous though, the philosophical types tend to be quite depressive and non influential in the greater scheme of things.
(, Tue 1 Apr 2008, 19:05, archived)
# go and tell it to Descartes ;)
I'm quite fond of the solipsistic view myself, as long as one doesn't cross a certain border. It's always good to bear in mind that the world we perceive is literally virtual to an extent, but one should nonetheless accept it as 'reality' in everyday life.
