On a philisophy standpoint, for something to exist, man has to be aware of it. To have witnessed it. The world stops existing as you sleep, for you are not conscient of your environment.
This thread. you have created it. You're aware of its existence. However, do you know it? Its possible, that while your offline, someone has posted something on it, and your knowledge about the thread has become something inacurrate. The world is something in constant evolution.
So if you standpoint changes from a yourself view, to a humanity view, there is a constant awareness of things, and they don't stop existing when one of them stops being directly aware of it.
or something.
