Remember that old conundrum?
You know, the one that goes: if a tree falls in the forest, but there’s no one there to hear it, does the tree ever really fall?

A fallen tree.
There, but not there.

Perhaps it applies somewhat to our world.

For as you know, everything about the world we live in boils down to memory. Our lives revolve around the very concept of remembering things.
Remembering people.
Remembering words.
Remembering death.
Even the infinitely unknowable concept of Time itself revolves around our memory of it. (A moment in your life that occured years ago still feels like yesterday.)

So completely remove our capacity for rememberance, and what is left?

Time is gone.
Death is gone.
Words are gone.
People are gone.

The world no longer exists.

For if a world spins its way through its designated place in the Universe, but no one remains who remembers it, does that world ever truly exist?

A fallen tree.
A fallen planet.
There, but not there…
