What are some things that fascinate you when it comes to the unknown?

Question

O.k.,felixnov,use your imagination!

Answer 1

how easily we can use the unknown.. and create a conclusion in our heads. Cause not having an answer drives humans nuts. We easily give our faith away to anything, without having any proof. Just cause we feel complete with a simple answer, it doesnt necessarily have to be right or wrong. Just having it..fills the gap

Answer 2

The unknown cannot have any characteristics otherwise it would not be unknown.

Answer 3

Only regarding traditional metaphysics, in the philosophical sense.

Answer 4

That anything could exist.

From the beggining of the universe, to the future developments of neuroscience.

The future is of course the ultimate unknown. Who knows what innovations it will bring- I can't wait.

Answer 5

-the scale of the universe.  infinitely expanding?  c'mon-- that's not even comprehensible on any level but theoretical.  we can't even begin to imagine the size of the universe.  and that makes me think of my size within the universe..... less than tiny!  totally insignificant!  it's mindblowing.

-TIME. is there a beginning or end to 'the universe'?  is time cyclical?  is there nothing but one long now, or are the past, present, and future discrete categories?  is time an entirely human construct?  ie, is it a concept we invented and applied to something un-understandable in order to understand it?  or is it an absolute, real thing?

-how our senses are so very limited.  the spectrum of visible light is tiny compared to all the other types of electromagnetic radiation.  what other "forces" or phenomena (like light) could be lurking around us, but completely invisible to us because we can only see a very specific type of wavelength?

same goes for sound-- what else is making vibrations that our  ears aren't capable of hearing????

-the nature of reality.  is there an absolute reality, or is everybody's perception of life/reality different?

-math.  it blows my mind that we use numbers (a human-invented system) to describe SO MANY TYPES of phenomena.  From solar orbits, to statistical data on people, to unknown variables, to fractals, etc.  Math is the de facto tool for describing & predicting nearly EVERYTHING.  I list this as an unknown because i suck at math-- it's like magic to me :)

-similar forms in different scales.  for example, the planets orbiting around the sun; and electrons orbiting around a nucleus.  coincidence?  or a divine/universal form for a 'machine'?

i could go on all night.... and i'm not even stoned!

Answer 6

That we create the unknown ourselves by choosing what to know.  I am fascinated by what we choose not to know or see right before our eyes until we choose to see it.

Answer 7

Not knowing.  The vaguely terrifying imaginations of what it could be.

Answer 8

The idea of parallel lives. Different dimensions. Just the wonders of everything. The universe is such a magical place.

Answer 9

The suppression of my anima and animus. I am perversely curious and mystified at the anomaly of the suppression and the thrill of it all. Maybe I am just reflecting on my character or creative energy.

Answer 10

Most of everything that is not supported by evidence. I'm mostly concerned with the universe and life out there as well as life after death and spirits bound to the Earth, that sort of stuff. Also creation of the world and universe and what it would bee like if nothing existed...

Answer 11

All of the things around us that are there, that we can not sense (smell/hear/see).
