The ‘virtual’ world has nothing to do with IT. It sounds a bit abstract, but i think it actually changes everything we know, about life, death, space, time - the lot. We all still use Newton in everyday ideas, I think we need to update, we have all of our ideas at once: physics, theology, morality etc. It may seem an academic issue, but these all flow through to the everyday lives we lead. Things don’t exist or not, they ‘ripple’ in and out of existence, have finite lives and then return to the eternal virtual world. The words I’m typing this with are both virtual and actual, temporal and eternal. Your body is too.
