I don't understand this, could you explain a little bit more and/or point to
the post where you discuss it ?

Yes, that's the first person inderteminacy which Bruno is talking about. You
should also note that multiple "I" appears in every multiple/many world
theories.

Not observing something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. And as George as
pointed out, and as I said some months earlier, an "I" which do not observe
strange thing happening will always wonder why he doesn't while one that will
observe will no longer ask why... so by an anthropic like principle I could
say that we can talk about why we do not observe such and such because we are
not in a place where strange things happen.

What is physical existence ?

How physicalism explain that something do not exists ? how physicalism explain
from where physical world emerge ? How physicalism could explain an universe
that has a beginning and (maybe) an end ? How time is related to
physicalism ?
