RE: Did You Know? Humans Have More Than 5 Senses!
Intriguing article about something that I'd never heard of or even imagined. But it makes sense.
I once met some deaf people in a club. They were dancing, and I asked them (thru their sign-language-speaking friend) how they could dance if they could not hear the music. They informed us that they could FEEL the beat and the music.
Similar to your blog topic, current physics also posits that there are more dimensions than the 4 we know of. (Height, length, width, space-time) Superstring theory tell us that there are at least 10 dimensions, and M theory says that there are at least 11. Just like space-time, we cannot see them, but unlike space-time, we cannot experience those dimensions.
However, according to all calculations and many indications, those dimensions actually exist.
Maybe one day in the far distant future, humankind will develop other senses that reveal those dimensions to us.

I completely believe there is more around us that we do not currently see. Words are memories- this is why you do not have memories of anything prior to when you began putting words with objects. Once someone "names" it- after they themselves finally see it, we are in for such an awakening...
That's so true. Most child psychologists nowadays (Jean Gebser, Jean Houston, others) tell us that, to an infant, the world (universe) is just one amorphous mass – of which s/he is a part, meaning there is no sense of separation between the world and the self. After a bit of time, the infant learns about Mom and Dad and milk bottle and pillow, etc, and the separation sets in ... along with knowledge.
That knowledge is essential for personal growth and to be able to function in society. As for that sense of separation, it might not be ideal.
Food for thought.
It might not be ideal... ah... yes. Then one searches for the ability to feel "at one" with everything again, for the rest of their existence...
I remember learning graphing in math. I knew about x and y but then the teacher wanted to teach us about "z". My mind was blown and I had SO MANY questions. Unfortunate, my knowledge didn't meet my curiousity and I wasn't able to understand the answers.
"Z" is soooo simple once you know it. It's like a switch, now you don't know, now you do. Your teacher, had he or she (I'm guessing he, a woman would probably have been more supportive of her girls) taken a little bit of time and trouble to help you, could have helped you over that hurdle. Could have, no. Should have. Isn't that what a teacher is supposed to do?
I'm sure that you were caught in the same trap many girls fall into.
| Girls aren't good at the sciences and besides, why do they need an education to cook and have babies. I'll put my effort into something useful like helping these dumb jocks get scholarships. |
Trust me, I'm a doctor.
Oh no. and they did not care to expound upon that? Help an obviously thirst for knowledge student actually learn? This is a shame

I had similar experiences, particularly in math but also in other subjects. To a certain extent, I believe the teachers were often (ir)responsible, but the whole education system itself has many problems with standardized learning.
It makes me wonder whileI read all these comments. Was my curiosity stunted? It is true that after that class math got "too hard" for me and I concentrated on reading/writing instead of math.
I'd never put thought into it before. Im glad I commented, thanks for the prospective.
I totally agree with your opinion @majes.tytyty
