Since everything is relative, does the world cease to exist when the individual terminates?

Answer 1

Yes. When I die so does everything. Anothers world may exist in their mind but the one that is my reality will be gone.

Answer 2

If everything is indeed relitive in and of itself, the world does not cease to exist, but the worlds of some do. The problem with the individual is that the circle is not large enough to devistate the entire world at the particular point in time... However...
If the individual was able to impact upon the entire world at the same time at point of termination, then the world would cease to exist therefore making everything relitive to the singular being and event that ends us all.

Answer 3

What does the world existing have to do with the individual? Everything is co-existent. There is no individual. Everything is dependent on something else. People depend on the world. The world is not depending on the individual to be real. Therefore, it would be impossible for the world to cease if the non-existent individual no longer "existed".

Answer 4

When the astromauts go up into space they leave this earth,this planet but they can see the earth from space. Earth is not gven reality,sustenance and form by the life of the individual but exists apart from the individual. Were this earth cease to exist when the individual dies then how do you explain ghosts-spirits and hauntings.Wouldn't be feasible. Since their bodies are gone they must have died then somehow by thinking still alive they then recreate the earth-way too far fetched. The earh continues while the individual goes to anotherstate of being

Answer 5

Nothing comes into being
nor does anything disappear
nothing is eternal
nor has anything an end
nothing is identical
nor differentiated
nothing moves tither
nor moves anything thither

Dependent Arising... Buddhism:
That being, this comes to be; from arising, this arises. That being ansent, this is not; from the cessation of that; this ceases. The general principle of conditionality simply states that all things arise and pass away due to certain conditions. When necessary conditions are present to support a thing's existence, it comes to be. As those conditions change and new conditions appear the thing changes. When the conditions for that thing's existence are finally removed, the thing ceases to be. This principle applies not only to the existence of phenomena but also to the quality of things.

The Buddha says that when certain conditions are present Duhka arises. When those conditions chamge, duhka is modified. And when the conditions for duhka are removed, duhka itself ceases.

Answer 6

Infinite Play the movie has an interesting perspective. Covered on it's web site.

That we are all extraterrestrials and that earth is a big social experiment. The proofs are quite convincing. It is almost like earth is a 3D interactive movie. So when you terminate it is really your character that is terminated not the Actor!

Other than that the Ego self dies, the only way to eternal life is to die before your body does. Your heart must be filled with love and not fear to pass through the fire.

Oh and the Antichrist if you read on the site is Religion. Which uses fear making it an agent of the Antichrist.

But hey it is just a movie, right?

Answer 7

In one school of thought it does. The theory goes like this: If anything changes in the world, that world ceases to exist. A new world is created. One that does include the change. And if the world changes again, another world is created and so on. Since the world changes constantly, the world is being created constantly. We note these changes as time.

So, if a person dies, the world as it was ceases to exist and a new world is instantly created that incorporates the death of the person. This is sometimes referred to as "the emergent theory".

Answer 8

I will try. since this is a difficult question. i called up -- Einstein's knowledge - he told me to skip it. seriously here is the answer: relative to what? what world to cease? do you mean this planet we live in or the outer world..in its entirety? ...what is existence? -- are you defining existence as "objects" that exists in a vacuum or the other way round? -- what is "individual" -- do you mean humans only or all species? -- what is terminate? do you mean --life cycle or more --
once you define each and everyone of your words...then may be then ...Einstein will have a look at it....keep well...and in the meantime continue to exist...I mean here on this planet.

Answer 9

Absolutely not. When we die and go "Home", we can stay "Home" or plan out the next life we want to live out here on the earthly plane. We are also able to come and visit whenever we wish. Heaven or "Home" as I call it, is only about three feet above our earthly ground. Just a different dimension unmarred by pollution and war. We are all eternal and living on this earth is to the spirits, like a boot camp on life so when we are on our way "Home" to stay forever, we carry a lot of knowledge and love with us. That is why it is so important to leave this earthly plane with love and knowledge. Of course we never terminate, only our physical bodies do. And this world will go on, regardless of what we think we can do to terminate it. All living things go on.

Answer 10

Everything is NOT relative. Planet Earth is an absolute, machinery is an absolute, a speck of dust is an absolute, and so is a human life. Those who decry and deny the existence of absolutes wish to equate slavery and freedom, penury and wealth, and all good and bad; their ultimate goal is to enslave humans.
