Philosophical Theories

The Five Minute Hypothesis:
Five minutes ago, the entire universe sprang into existance from absolutely nothing. Everything is exactly as it was at the time, traces of the so-called "past" written on the earth, with signs of age instantly formed.

Theory of Descartes:
We're all in an elaborate dream. Present life is one big delusion. Maybe a very powerful evil demon has us hypnotized to hold all the beliefs that we have, and to "see" and "hear" everything we believe we are now experienceing.

Nothing we know exists or ever has existed.
