general question I have I didn't know where exactly to put this one but any way. throughout my life I've come across a couple of questions that I think will never be proven short of god or some other intelligent perspective.
1. what really makes the life I sense real, sure I can interact with an i.e apple and I can see you interact but where does this common sense of touch come from. how does this "If I see it, touch it, hear it. Then it's real" idea come about.
2.If 1+1=2 then what else besides the human mind can confirm this? i.e. based on a different alien/god view 1+1=7 which might be confirmed by other similar alien/god minds.
3. are mathematics and science equal opposites of philosophy and faith in viewing the world?
4. is chaos vs. order a mathematical question or a philosophical one. and are they really equal to each other or same as each?
there are more I have but just something to generate discussion
