John Owens interpretes newest theoies on physics as suggesting that no
physical world exists. I would be interested to know what the logic
leading to that was. All of the existing subjective idealist theories have one
peculiarity that most of their creators tried to escape: they lead
to solipsism. To rephrase that: the theory that deduces that there
is no physical world, also suggests that nothing but the author of this
theory is real. Any new developments in that style of thought?

Also: religious experiences are subjective, but the majority of believers
would consider them as coming from a very objective god. Fewer people
would try to defend something like 'one truth, many ways'...
