Philosophy has been practiced for thousands of years by men known the be the smartest to set foot on this earth including Socrates Aristotle and Plato with estimated IQs of 140 - 181.
The dictionary.com definition of philosophy - the rational investigation of the truths and principles of being, knowledge, or conduct.
Here I will be posting some philosophical matters for you to read thoroughly think about and respond to. Please do not post non-sense as it will be reported for spam.
Don't be afraid to share your ideas no matter how crazy they sound if you strongly believe it, who cares if someone tells you "th4ts dumb n3wb" because if you think about it the human race knows practically nothing compared to what the universe has to offer. It is also encouraged you post your own philosophical matters for others to respond to, don't just respond to my own matters.
It is shown that the studying philosophy, works all parts of your brain at once including memory, problem solving, logic etc. Think of it this way, if your at a gym instead of working your arms legs chest shoulders and back in all different workouts philosophy gets all of it done at once.
My first philosophical matter.
Time travel. there are many theories in how this works. there have been theories that blackholes in space are a cause of time travel. In July 1943, the destroyer U.S.S. Eldridge tried an unthinkable task. the ship was going to attempt to bend light around the ship causing it to be invisible to the human eye. in the attempt the elderidge was in the Philadelphia naval shipyard. once they attempted to bend light they disappeared in the blink of an eye. later that day the ship was reported to the naval shipyard to be seen in Norfolk VA 20 minutes before the experiment took place (375 miles away). The theory on this was the Elderidge was teleported say an 2 hours back into time. it then took them an hour and 40 minutes to get to Norfolk where they were spotted. After seeing the effect of the experiment the US government quickly hid all evidence of this ever happening and denies it took place.
From these two hypothesii you may or may not believe in time travel however if you do read on.
Now say in year 2040 we have mastered time travel. we all have time machines. my sister one day decides to go back to year 1900/ once she is gone my mother asks me "where is your sister?" and i respond with a simple "it's 2040 now but she is in year 1900" doesn't this mean year 1900 and 2040 are happening at the same time?
Think about it - the year you were born is currently happening. the date you first learned to walk is currently happening. the moment you meet your fate is currently happening.
Matter # 2
While dreams may seem to last you hours upon hours the longest recorded dream was 10 minutes. dreams are a fascinating subject. while in reality 8 hours have past your mind has put together hundreds upon hundreds of dreams together only a few of which you remember when you wake up. now im sure all of us have had a dream that seemed so real we thought it was most commonly a nightmare in which we wake up in a cold sweat ( for a dream to put you in a cold sweat, it must seem pretty real ).
Science has now put together ways to chemically induce a human being into a coma for about 10 days. in these 10 days it has been recorded possible to dream only one dream. if a an average one minute dream seems to last about 2 hours imagine how long a 10 day dream would be. enough to last about a thousand years, more than a life time. it'd be a second chance at life now think about this possibility. You are in a dream right now in reality you are someone completely different laying in a hospital bed in a coma.
Buddhist monks are know for their special abilities to do special things no other humans can do like control body temperature or see while blindfolded etc. (VERY interesting topic.) when asked how they do these things if you are lucky enough to get an answer the response will most likely be "this does not exist". there you go. just one piece of evidence leading to the dream theory.
Matter # 3
(keep in mind not all that i post i believe in. this is purely to get you all thinking)
Platos cave. (my some of my own thoughts added in)
There are men trapped in a dark dreary cave all chained up to chairs. they are able to live without any means of water or food. behind the chairs there is a fire that gives off descent light and a civilization that lives by the fire. all the men that are chained up are ever able to see are shadows. they see shadows of cats, dogs, humans, house everything a civilization would have. one day a man chained up get loose. he rids his chains and escapes the cave. he is introduced to the real world he sees everything for the first time as the way most people now see it. he sees color. he sees real animals brown horses white cows etc. Surely this man wouldnt want to go back to this cave of his where he saw so little as it really was and if he did he'd be though of as crazy
sure back when he was in the cave he thought this was the only way of life because he knew no other. cant this happen to us? one second your reading this thread on your computer then something comes and takes you. you dont knwo where your going you don't know where you are but suddenly you see everything different. you see the reality a whole new way in which i cannot describe simply because i have never seen this reality. you dont want to come back to the others because you enjoy the new sights and fear youd be locked in a looney bin.
how do we know that what you are doing right now. reading this thread by me on your computer is not reality?

), creating two instances of the same object, so you could essentially visit yourself in the past/future. Seems to me that, if that were to be done, everything would instantly snowball into complete corruption. As to what that'd bring... who knows???... some kind of state of seemingly nonexistence?
