pg21 What is the reality of objects in general? Water falls as an example – Virtual concept. (part 2 of 3)


If we must consider the falls as an “object”, then definition of “object” must be “a concept”, rather than its real content.  In other words, whether the falls exists as an object depends on what “object” means: 

- It may exist only if we choose to recognize the falls as a concept.  But it is nothing but a virtual concept, not a real thing. 

- On the other hand, if we choose to recognize objects by its physical content, then the falls doesn’t exist.  There is not a thing by the name of “falls”.  There are only water drops.  Only water drops are recognized objects, nothing else. 

Because water falls are virtual concepts (i.e. a non-existent object) rather than real physical entities, they don’t follow physics laws, even though they don’t violate physics laws.  Asking if they follow physics laws is like asking if stocks and bonds follow physics laws, as they are just concepts, not real physical entities.
