okay, so i came across these thoughts the other day. some when i was high and some when i was just bored -what colour is no colour? i mean, you would think it as black or something, but thats a colour. its strange. what colour is nothing? -what would be here if nothing was here? what would happen if nothing was created. like, nothing! no world, no space, no us! i mean there wouldnt be anything to think about. i mean...FUCK!FUCK! there would be no earth, nothing! oh my god! anyone else anymore unbeleiveable mind fucks?
Transparent. Stuff like that bothers me from time to time. I think that humanity will never be able to fully comprehend the totality of genuine unadulterated nothingness.
Funny you mention that, hdu, because I was thinking about the same thing just the other day: the whole concept of nothingness. Kinda uncanny, actually. LOL So what is "nothing", anyway? Is it still something, like, something that exists?, Or is it "nothing" and doesn't exist? Or is it both? This may even get into the Buddhist philosophy, sort of like the "satori", if you will. It's some deep stuff, I tell ya...
bah whatever, the colors we see only exist like they do to us, to us(humans). there's a lot more ways of precieving light that we can't pick up. so... you wanna see "no color"? try to see that little beam shooting out of your remote control or, better yet, check out a black hole. or, like hailtothekingbaby said, transparent. http://science.howstuffworks.com/light1.htm http://science.howstuffworks.com/light6.htm some say that all possibilities exist physically in different realities. http://www.mtnmath.com/whatrh/node65.html everything's a paradox. nothing is real. eat some mushrooms.
It also took a long time after the creation of mathematics that a guy invented the nr. 0! I cannot imagine maths without it, but in the past they worked a long time without knowing the concept.
ever wondered what a constant clap sounded like? when audiences clap there are different tones but what if one person clapped once by himself and the noise didnt fade, what would it sound like?
I read an article once about the astronomers who had found the end of the universe. It said outside the universe, there is nothing, not even space. I still find myself lying awake some nights trying to imagine that. Oh, and want to see the light coming out of your remote? Look at it through a camcorder or your webcam.
when you said light outta ya remote, do you mean you can see somethin come out of that little mini bulb when pressin a button?
once i was thinknin and everybody can see colors, red, blue, yellow, but wut if the color blue that I see is your yellow and my red is ur orange or something. no one would notice because they r just names for something u cant use or touch. i still cant figure it out
ive thought about this before and heres what i came up with. theres somethings that everyone knows the color of eg sky is blue, grass is green. its not a fool proof explaination but its the best ive got. what if your sky is yellow but you name for yellow is blue so your oblivious to the fact that your sky is the wrong color. (maybe thats what you originally said but in more complicated terms). i was taught at school color was spelt with 'u' (colour) or is that just the uk?
So true, or else you wouldn't be able to tell yourself that, or exist at all. But doesn't it trip you out when you think about the some of all things in existence ultimately amounting to nothing. Or that ultimately its so pointless that it might as well be nothing, but it isn't, so why the hell is it here?
Yes. That's an infrared LED, it emits light invisible to the human eye, but is within the range of CCD sensors used in cameras. If you have a bunch of those LEDs hooked to a battery and a portable camera you can make a homemade "infrared goggles" device. And as for nothing, it would have to exist just so we can have "something". Kinda like not being able to have love and hate without indifference, peace without war, or light without darkness. Oh, and I think I read somewhere different people percieve colors differently, but since each person accepts "blue" as being a certain hue, we all know what everyone else is talking about. Explains why people have favorite colors, the same refraction may be responsible for pleasure, but is not always percieved the same way. People with color blindness may not really see things in greyscale, it may be pinkscale or violetscale, but it's just as confusing to them. You're right, actually. Us yanks in our defiance of England decided to drop some 'unneeded' characters in our language. Then we managed to totally defile the entire language. Just ax anybody Ok, class. That's all for today. Professor Confessor will be back next week
