it was brought to my attention today in science class that what we see may not be everything that is around us, what we see is what our brain tells us to see. today we looked through this lens at light and we saw all the infractions of light that we can't see, like bees see uv light and flowers abosrb uv light, so bees are seeing flowers in uv colors, my teacher said that these are colors that noone has ever seen before that we can't even imagine, it's crazy

another thing is that our brains can only percieve 3 different dimentions. What if there are more? Like an x dimension? Do you have any idea what would go on, if there were more then 3 dimensions.

there are more than 3, we see in 3 dimensional vision, but what if there were four, that would be fucked up cause then we would see directions and angles we've never seen before, just the thought of the concepts and theory's is mind boggling

Go here and look at everything on the site. It will blow your mind. You have to concentrate really hard and throw away everything you see in real life.

well 1 thing i think is quite interesting about philosophy was material fate. Example, you throw a rock at a window, the window breaks. The rock didnt break the window, it just travelled through the window at the same time it broke.
