Ive heard a scientist say " we may never find the smallest particle in the Quantum world or the furthest away galaxy cos every time we look we are consciously creating reality" where does this theory end. could we have created our own history, could we have created Evolution by thinking about it?

6 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoIs this the final proof that the myths of scots history are based on fact. The picts were not celts!?
SCOTTISH LEGEND
"... the nation of the Picts, from Scythia [by which it is generally agreed that Bede means Scandinavia], as is reported, putting to sea, in a few long ships, were driven by the winds beyond the shores of Britain, and arrived on the northern coast of Ireland, where, finding the nation of the Scots, they begged to be allowed to settle among them, but could not succeed in obtaining their request... The Scots answered that the island could not contain them both; but "We can give you good advice," said they, "what to do; we know there is another island, not far from ours, to the eastward, which we often see at a distance, when the days are clear. If you will go thither, you will obtain settlements; or, if they should oppose you, you shall have our assistance." The Picts, accordingly, sailing over into Britain, began to inhabit the northern parts thereof, for the Britons were possessed of the southern... In process of time, Britain, besides the Britons and the Picts, received a third nation the Scots, who, migrating from Ireland ... either by fair means, or by force of arms, secured to themselves those settlements among the Picts which they still possess."
THE EVIDENCE
It was once thought that the Picts had a Southern European origin and were related to the ancient Iberians of Spain and Portugal and perhaps to the Basques in the Pyranees Mountains between Spain and France.
Modern research has cast doubt upon this theory. Studies done by Italian geneticist Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforzza indicate some of the nearest genetic relatives of the Scots on the European Continent are the Poles, the Russians and Hungarians. This would suggest that the earliest ancestors of the Picts migrated off the Russian Steppe as did the ancestors of the Hungarians , Bulgarians and Tartars, and that they probably lived in Asia before that.
Cavalli-Sforza says that the Irish also have some genetic links to the Poles and Russians.
So is this finally the conclusive Evidence that the Pict's or so call proto Pict's we not celts but actually Scandinavians or "Scythian" as the area was still called in medieval times.
