Sir John Eccles, afamous British neurologist and Nobel laureate, declared, "I wantyou to realize that there exists no color in the natural world, and nosound — nothing of this kind; no textures, no patterns, no beauty,no scent." What Eccles means is that all the qualities of Nature,from the luxurious scent of a rose to the sting of a wasp and thetaste of honey, are produced by human beings. The most distantgalaxies billions of light years away, have no reality without you,because everything that makes any galaxy real— with the multitudeof stars with their heat, emitted light, and masses, the positions ofthe distant galaxies in space and the velocity that carries eachdistant galaxy away at enormous speed—requires a humanobserver with a human nervous system.
