even though they existed
on the horizon.

:13:03
The reason that they never saw
the ships was because...

:13:06
they had no knowledge in their brains,
or no experience, that clipper ships existed.

:13:12
So the shaman starts to notice that
there's ripples out in the ocean,
but he sees no ship...

:13:18
but he starts to wonder
what's causing the effect.

:13:21
So every day he goes out
and looks and looks and looks.

:13:25
And after a period of time,
he's able to see the ships.

:13:28
And once he sees the ships, he tells
everybody else that ships exist out there.

:13:33
Because everybody trusted and believed
in him, they saw them also.

[ Man ] We create reality.
We're reality-producing machines.

after reflection in the mirror of memory.

As far as whether or not we're just living
in a big holodeck or not...

:14:30
it's a question we don't necessarily
have a good answer to.

:14:32
I think this is a big philosophical problem
we have to deal with...

:14:36
in terms of what science
can say about our world...

:14:39
because we are always
the observer in science.

:14:41
So we are still
always constrained...

:14:43
by what is ultimately coming
into the human brain...

:14:47
that allows us to see and
perceive the things we do.

:14:50
So it is conceivable that all of this
really is just a great illusion...

:14:54
that we have no way of really getting
outside of to see what is really out there.

:14:59
Your brain doesn't know the difference
between what's taking place out there...
