rekastner: I think it's time to get beyond these types of subjectivist, antirealist approaches and to acknowledge there there could be a more subtle kind of reality that is sub-empirical -- and therefore beyond spacetime.-Your concept is very close to the simple one I had. Our total reality is like a layer cake, we live and recognize ours but are aware of and can make some averaging measurements of what we see coming from the other layer.-Which brings me to my pet peeve: Krauss, Smolin, and Stenger to mention some of the nonphilosopher pysicists/ cosmologists try to tell us we can get something from nothing since our spacetime is roiling with potential quantum particles, and we can get this universe from a quantum perturbation collapse. But our spacetime is something and not a true nothing as Ed Feser points out. Your thoughts?
