I think that I shall never see
a post as lovely as a tree.

...hi. Do you think it is fair to say that all of your surroundings were thought of first, before 'becoming the things that are around you'?
It got the name tree after we assigned it, but the tree itself was a tree before we were around. Dinosaurs knew about trees.
Green is a specific wave length of light. Those wave lengths predated us, and they very much existed before we were around to observe them.
Another example would be 'heat'.
Heat does not exist outside of our perception. There is merely Infra-red radiation exciting molecules. We may perceive something as hot, something else may perceive it as cold.
So basically what you're saying is that if a volcano erupted and there was no life form to perceive the heat, then the lava wouldn't "cool" and become "rock" after a duration of time?
You are confusing how we perceive motion in this universe compared to the actual motion.
There is heat, as evidence of lava flowing across the ground and burning up trees and changing them into ash, whether there is someone there to observe it or not. Entropy exists whether we are here to observe the effects or not.
Of course things are relative, that's all you're saying.
As the early twentieth-century British physicist Sir Arthur Eddington put it, "Matter is mostly ghostly empty space." To be more precise, it is 99.9999999% empty space.
With the development of quantum theory, physicists have found that even subatomic particles are far from solid. In fact, they are nothing like matter as we know it.
Unless those things are in their preferred frame![]()

There is no "solid" in this universe, there is objects, and those objects are comprised of smaller objects. All of those objects are in motion. Everything is made of motion.
The difference between a solid, liquid, gas, and plasma is the volume, which is 3 dimensional distance. Do you know what volume is?
