Wierd thoughts.

Well talking at the good old lunch table at high school we've come up with some wierd stuff. I'll post a couple to give you an idea.

Try to think of a color that doesn't exsist.

How do you really know that the red I see is the same red as you see? If you see a color and you have always seen that as red how would be able to tell if its different than mine? what you see as red might be my yellow. Maybe what you see as red to me doesn't exsist. There is no way of knowing because I can't see what you see.

If there is a god who created him? and If the universe started by the big bang where did that small little piece of material come from? If it never was made would their be no time? just nothing would happen ever?

Where does the universe end? if it is expanding what is it expanding into?

Have you ever had thoughts like this? do you have any answers? do you have any other ones?

I promise you we're not on drugs. :D
 
OK....heat rises, and cold sinks, right?

Today, I had a glass of iced tea. The warm tea was at the bottom, and the cold tea was at the top.

After you get that one......why do we park on driveways, and drive on parkways?

Well ice floats because it is less dense than water or iced tea in this case. Ice cubes made the top (closest to itself) cold first. That is if you used iced cubes. If not I'm lost. Also, with the driveways/parkways thing that baffles me too.

Post 550!

Stoner :rollno: I know, I too am one.

hehe

Well the color you see as "red" is not the same "red" that I see, they might be close but not the same. We have sensors in our eyes and just like different monitors or TVs show different colors our eyes see different color.

I don’t remember exactly but I think red is short waves, green is medium waves and blue is long waves. Blue penetrates the most reason when we go into Deep Ocean the last color we see is blue as water.

I think this is right; at least that’s what I’ve been taught. If anyone knows that this is wrong let me know.


Rests of questions are fun, yes I thought of those especially in Philosophy classes, its fun (reason I looooved philosophy class and critical thinking (but you must get a good teacher otherwise its no fun).

I doubt we will ever know as in order to know the big bang is true for sure we had to be there and there is no one who has been there when it happened. :)


Cheers

I've thought of all those things. I actually proved to myself that the clor theory is impossible but I forgot my proof.
 
By definition, the universe encompasses all of space and time as we know it, so it is beyond the realm of the Big Bang model to postulate what the universe is expanding into. The only "edge" to space-time occurs at the Big Bang, so it is not logically necessary (or sensible) to consider this question.

Actually, there is a way of knowing. Being color blind can be this exact scenario. For example- a few years ago, there was a kid at my school who saw grass as the same color he saw an orange. This is all due to the arrangement of the cones and rods in your eye.

and If the universe started by the big bang where did that small little piece of material come from? If it never was made would their be no time? just nothing would happen ever?

According to string theory, the big bang was actually two other universes colliding, and the resulting explosion formed our universe.

As for time- time is an invention of the human mind. We created time and all of it's various measurements, so essentially, time did not exist until the human mind devolped far enough to concieve it.

Where does the universe end? if it is expanding what is it expanding into?

String theory can help with this one, too. According to String theory (or M-theory, a more advanced version of String theory), our universe is only one "membrane" in a much larger, seven-dimension universe.


If anyone is interested in String theory, read The Elegant Universe.

Other way around. Red is long wavelengths, blue is short.
