I am fascinated by Quantum physics. People would think, "who would?" Because of my interest, I didn't find Roebke's writing to be boring at all. As a student in an astronomy class, I actually ponder about if these theories that would change the way the world would think about how the world works. I believe we should know a little, at least a tiny bit, about how our world works. Roebke brings up a very simple question. "Do we create what we observe through our act of observation?"
The act of observing is a very unique action. When people look around, every single thing around them is being observed. Most of these things are disregarded in a sense that we don't scrutinize it. In other words, they have greater meaning behind it, but we look at it generally and consider it unimportant. An example was used in Roebke's "The Reality Test." Light can be observed; through lamps, electronics, and such. When we see light, we just think, "it makes things brighter." But light is such a complex thing in detail. Light is made up of photons, which are atoms of energy. To the general human, we don't think scientifically. We just think thats its something bright. Roebke's thesis is strong because it gives us the image that shows how our people create what we observe through the act of observation.
