RE: LET'S PLAY - A MENTAL GAME OF TIME PERCEPTION

in #science5 years ago

I really enjoyed reading from you again (the last time I did was very long ago). It is an interesting and amusing thought experiment to imagine how we would perceive the world if or internal clocks were ticking faster/slower.

At the end of the day, it is clear that we understand the world from the data we collect. With a much shorter (faster) life, we would need many many lives to collect enough data to be able to go back to understand how the world works as we do. I still believe human's curiosity will make this process happening. It is also clear that there should be a lower limit (if we would live in a couple of seconds, we won't have time to prepare the process).

At the end of the day, I know I didn't address the main topic about perceptions. To which I agree. Humans perceive the world from how our internal mind is set. This is our bias :)

PS: if I may, would you mind using the following (standard markdown) syntax for image,

Hey, nice of you to comment.
People now have a rich collection of data, it is, as you say, due to their curiosity to learn more about the world and about themselves. The return of the interpreted data to oneself, the personal relationship to what people explore, always leads me to wonder. The questions we see answered lead to new questions, a process that never stands still. The future is a space full of possibilities and probabilities, the past a retrospective and interpretation. Every wave represents such a process and I find it fascinating that the processuality of relationships is an issue of interest at both the micro and macro levels.

For me, matter is still a mystery and something that can be viewed not only scientifically, but also poetically and aesthetically.

I tried your hint to encode the images as you suggested, but somehow it doesn't work, because the square brackets and the exclamation mark then become visible in the text. Hmm ... I will try it maybe the next few days again.
Thanks for the hint.

Interpretation really (really really) matters! Getting to the results is one thing, but managing to interpret them correctly is actually the most complicated way.

For the images, are you sure there is no space left (at all)?
