-* The first recorded thoughts on [[Quantum Reality]] are from Democritus writing about 400 BC and reported to us by Aristotle and Diogenes who has written that "his principal doctrines were these. That atoms and the vacuum were the beginning of the universe; and that everything else existed only in opinion."<ref>Diogenes Laërtius, ''Democritus'' Vol. IX, 44</ref>

 * The idea that mathematical objects exist in a separate, timeless world is often associated with Plato.  He taught that when mathematics speaks of a triangle, it is not any triangle in the world but an ideal triangle, which is just as real (and even more so) but exists in another realm, one outside time.The theorem that the angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees is not precisely true of any real triangle in our physical world, but is absolutely and precisely true in that ideal mathematical triangle existing in the mathematical world. Proving the theorem gives us knowledge of something that exists outside of time and our real-world space.<ref name="smolin" />
 * Aristotle himself was the source of all wisdom for many centuries. The space defined by Aristotle. the enumeration of what surrounds each thing is called "relative apparent and common". It is absurd to talk about empty space because space is just the spacial ordering of things. If there are no things, there is no space. He would never say a glass is empty, it is full of air.

 * Coincidence is just events that are near by in time and space.
 * The speed of light is an upper bound for determining coincidence.
