    Is Time an Illusion or a Fragment of Consciousness?

    I'm not the brightest there is but isn't the passage of time and the advance of consciousness basically really the same thing? What would be passing through the consciousness but external nature as we perceive it? Second question I think it's a little of both. I can stop at the stop sign or...

    Nurture vs Nature: Decoding the Mysteries of Human Development

    I was watching something on this the other day, about how serial killers or odd people who were brought up well but still turn out to be the opposite of how they were brought up. Pondering it, I came up with a few questions. Could too much nuture lead to negative feelings towards people...

    What Is Love and Its Meaning in Human History?

    Love is of course give and take. It is said that you should give more than what you take, but it is also said that in the end it is always equal. Love is also that the fruit gives to you, only after it has been cut from its tree. hypnagogue - About highways, do you think nature loves them...

    Is Suicide a Fundamental Human Right?

    I've been told, I always have the right to die.. I don't know if there's a specific age where that right comes in or not. I think it is inconsiderate for an individual not only to family and society but to themselves to end theirself before allowing the given society or living circumstances to...

    What Scientists Believe is the Purpose of Life

    Life came from out of the Earth into the Seas. From there, Life took over Land. From there... We colonize, every species does. We'll take over the universe if we lived (our species) long enough (that is if this damn thing called 'reality' is finite.) Is that the purpose? Probably one...

    Can Life exist if Clocks were not discovered?

    Light, Gravity, and other forms of Physics would not existence without a concept of time. Even in motion, you would not understand. I don't know if all animals on Earth have a definate concept of time, but they surely exist fine. And wisely, I believe. ****, alligators been around for what...

    Is Gayness a Disease or a Normal Variation of Human Behavior?

    Homosexuality is a freedom. I think it's kind of cool our human race can decide which ... sex to ****. I don't think it's a disease, as in like a virus. Just because I hang around homosexuals doesn't mean I myself am going to be one. It's free will, to choose who you want your lover to be...

    What Defines Your Unique Existence in a Shared Reality?

    Scientifically explain to me how I am me, and not you, even though we have the same properties and systems of science, we're still separate observers. How does this work and why is it separated into bodies? Why do I exist in my head?

    Test Your Intuition of Physical Principles with OutPost Game

    This game is fun, and addicting. I can land outpost 1 everytime now... outpost 2 nearly every time.. outpost 3 is too simple. outpost 4 I have yet to land, but I've only been to it once. You have more control over the craft if it's going really slow (inertia is mean). While going thru the...

    Experience Machine: Would You Hook Up?

    Questions, oh dear lord questions... This 'Experience Machine'... Would it be made to have uncertainty? Would everything be certain? (programmed). You would control your 'virtual life' with your real brain, wouldn't you? So your choices would not always be certain there either? I believe...

    What is the difference between individual and collective goals?

    A pursuit/purpose in life is to have sex and to reproduce? What if one believes their purpose is otherwise such like Newton, who may have died a virgin? My purpose in life is connecting the dots. You know those books with numbered dots? That's my purpose, to connect them.

    Do nearby stars have an effect on the Sun and its planets?

    The Sun has effect on its Planets (and vice versa). The Planets have an effect on their Moons (and vice versa). Do nearby Stars effect the Sun (and vice versa)? If this is true, how large of an effect could there be? What would be the cause of the effects? Would it have anything to do...

    How Can Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity Coexist?

    Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity do not like each other. Yet, we perceive that Quantum Mechanics are the 'basics' of all things, or the startings of all larger things. But this is just it, why is it Quantum Mechanics governs ALL and General Relativity only runs the vast and large? Why...
