| Here is a problem I found with the Theory of Existence:
Theory of Existence
Something is said to exist if:
1) it affects something
OR
2) something affects it
According to this theory I can think of something and it will exist because a) it affects me (I perceive it) and b) something affects it (I affect it by creating it).
Here's the bad part:
What happens if I conceive of the concept "There is a disproof for the Theory of Non-Existence"? It is vague and I don't know where to find it but there now exists a disproof for the theory.
There's the paradox. The disproof doesn't exist unless the theory is correct. If the theory is incorrect the disproof doen't exist therefore making it possible for the theory to be correct.
I think it's interesting that something which is axiomatic or inherently true can be so fatally flawed. |
