The relationship between mind and reality is usually perceived as
an event that takes place in reality and producing simultaneously
an internal image in the mind. So it takes place twice, so to
speak, and there is a one-to-one correspondence between the two
events. Within this conception, matter is embedded in space and
time, and can be designated as "container-principle". This
monograph emphasizes that the well-known philosopher Immanuel Kant
denied this principle and he stated that reality is principally not
recognizable to a human being, and modern biological evolution
seems to lead exactly to Kant's point of view. Within the theory of
evolution, man's image about reality in mind does not have to be
complete and true in the sense of a precise reproduction, and it is
relatively easy to recognize that even space and time should not be
elements of reality outside. Within this conception, only a certain
part of reality, which the human being needs for mastering life, is
projected onto space and time, and we come to the so-called
"projection principle". Then, spacetime defines the window to
reality, leading to a number of exciting and essential questions,
some of which are discussed in this monograph.As is known, current
physics is mainly based on the container-principle. But this
monograph proposes that the projection principle is obviously more
suitable and could help to solve open-ended questions as, for
example, in connection with the nature of time, the particle-wave
duality, the cosmological constant, etc. Regarding the statistical
behavior of matter, Einstein's statement "God does not play dice"
has to be seen in a new light, but also Feynman's general viewpoint
on quantum theory that it cannot be understood by man. However,
conventional quantum theory is obviously not a consistent framework
as per the projection principle. The term "world equation" is
critically probed in this monograph.
