Are you the only conscious mind? Are you the one? Does the universe revolve around you? Solipsism philosophy is scary. The science of Solipsism is presented here. From your point of view, the only sentience you have is your own. You can’t know or perceive whether anyone else is really conscious. What if they aren’t? What if you’re the only one? Everyone could be a philosophical zombie. This is the essence of Solipsism. What do you really see when you look in the mirror. A scientist might say that when you look through your eyes, packets of electromagnetic radiation, called photons enter the pupil of your eye, get focused by a lens, hit your retina and trigger electrical signals in your optic nerve, that travels to the LGN, then to visual cortex in the back of your brain, where it gets interpreted and is made available to your consciousness which may be located according to recent studies in a tiny area of the brainstem called pontine tegmentum and 2 small areas of the cerebral cortex connected to it. A philosopher might say that the you are the consciousness behind your eyes. The you is your awareness of yourself, and your yourself in you surroundings, and your place in the universe. A Solipsist believes that she is the consciousness behind her eyes, but the difference is she believes she is the ONLY consciousness. She believes that only her consciousness is fundamental in the universe in which she resides. Is there any irrefutable proof of anything other than the existence of yourself? If that is the case then is it rational to assume that anything else actually exists? According to information theory, a closed system cannot generate something more complex than itself. But the universe is more complicated than you. How would you explain the fact that other people, whom you don’t think exist came up with the laws that explain your world? But maybe this complexity is part of the illusion too. Science doesn't claim to know the ultimate reality
