Title says all. Make my brain go boom.
How are mirrors real if our eyes aren't real?
how did people think before languages were developed?
The idea that you were born at this time, on this earth, in this very location of the infinitely expanding universe. The chances of your mind being in your own body here on earth is one in infinity. I know this is going to sound stupid coming out but it blows my mind.
What if your dad wore a rubber the night he had sex to make you?
SammyDubzhow did people think before languages were developed?
I don't know whether it's particularly common or not, but up util the age of 8 or 9 I always you used to process language by a series of images or a short animation (kind of like a GIF I suppose) in my head. These 'GIFs' rarely had any relation to the word, and in hindsight seem pretty absurd.
... Oh and what are numbers?

You don't need language to think. If you did, that would imply animals, babies, and non-verbal humans couldn't think, which they obviously can.
Humans have an innate, universal capacity for thought, regardless of whether they can verbalize what they're thinking

That's actually really interesting. Just learned some new stuff
If we taught apes to write in English what would they be thinking about? And with that thinking with a language thing... I just realized that every thought I can remember has been me dictating it to myself in English. I literally tell myself all of my thoughts in my head.
what would it look like inside a room where the walls, ceiling, and floor are all mirrors?

Well to be able to see that you would have to be within that room and therefor you would see a bunch of you that would look smaller and smaller as each you focused on each mirror reflection.
Here us a video-
what would nothingness look like?
Without the presence of photons you would not be able to see and therefore everything would be completely dark (Black). Walk into a windowless room and turn the lights off, that is what nothingness looks like.
has anyone really ever been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
When people say be yourself, what does being yourself mean, and who are you trying to be?
NickyToorwhat would it look like inside a room where the walls, ceiling, and floor are all mirrors?what would nothingness look like?
The room would look like a mirror. I assume you're suggesting that this room would produce an image of nothingness? However that's not the case ...
Presumably the room features 6 walls all of which meet at right angles?Do we agree with the currently accepted wisdom re. how a mirror works an produces images? Finally do we agree that a mirror is a material object in it's own right and so the image of an empty mirror is merely the image of a mirror. If so the mirrors in the absence of another object will be creating images of themselves, thus you aren't seeing what nothingness looks like, you're simply seeing what a mirror with nothing in it looks like.
Mr.noodleWhat do blind people dream?
I heard about this a while ago. I think that the answer was that people born blind can dream sounds and other senses like smell. But since they were born blind they have never seen colors and cannot comprehend the idea of color. People that became blind throughout life can still dream images though, not sure if that is true but I heard it somewhere and it makes sense.

another related to this, so deaf people have the voices in their head?
how much cock could a cocksucker suck if a cocksucker could suck cock
The whole universe is one thing of matter. Everthing is connected by matter. The air around you is you, I am you, and you are me. I say this because matter is everywhere. There is not a space in the whole universe where there isn't matter so pretty much we are fused together by matter. Because there is not space in between one thing and another they are one thing. Just something I thought of today
On the subject of 'nothing'. In terms of physics, does 'nothing' actually exist?

how does the universe go on forever? actually blows my mind every time i think about it
veng_mhow much cock could a cocksucker suck if a cocksucker could suck cock
A cock sucker can suck cock but there are too many variables to know how much cock he would suck
and this might make some people mad but do retarted people know they are retarted?

Death will be amazing if we get to figure all of this stuff out. Or maybe our minds will just be lost in a maze of darkness.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but only 4% of the universe is made up of matter. The rest is dark energy.
VizualSpace
Space contains energy, light photons, gravity, time (relative to gravity), fields, three dimensions, etc... That's defiantly not nothing.
JustGoWithItSorry to burst your bubble, but only 4% of the universe is made up of matter. The rest is dark energy.
That's true but we still are just all one thing of energy and matter because nowhere in the universe is there "nothing"

Sí señor.
If you push reset on the human race (back to cavemen), do we end up exactly where we are right now?
stinky_petehow does the universe go on forever? actually blows my mind every time i think about it
i have to agree with this. i used to think there was literally a brick wall or something once you went into space a certain distance. but then what would be behind the brick wall...
Han.SoloIf you push reset on the human race (back to cavemen), do we end up exactly where we are right now?
Yes because there would be no new factors influencing the cavemen or animals. The asteroids would still strike and the atmosphere would be the same.
-emile-how can people hear their thoughts ?
I've wondered this as well.
It weirds me out thinking about how the first milling machine or lathe would have ever been made. That and a lot of things we see in industry today.
Do deaf people think/read in sign language? Because when they see words they don't think sounds, just hand gestures

this goes into some weird shit dude...in simpler terms if you've ever seen the movie groundhog day this is like the movie groundhog day, although some people believe in fate or destiny i think its load of bullshit, the world has alternate timelines where as if anything in the past were to change the future would not be the same, hell what if hitler hadn't died, or the civl war went in favor of the confederates? heres a wikilink that goes over some stuff http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothetical_Axis_victory_in_World_War_II
