Its true that our knowledge of the universe should have an element of uncertainty in it, a parameter thats directly proportional to our ignorance. What we may or what we may not know may range from nothing to maybe everything. <BR/><BR/>I don't see the point in this philosophy though. In our unyielding process to learn more, we may find ourselves or rather call ourselves more ignorant than we were in the past. If i were to define what is right or wrong based solely on perception, then over the years, moral standards will have to vary, simply because with the years human perception is improving. So the quesetion is, can we actually set standards knowing that our perception is highly limited. Can we formulate highly controversial theories knowing that there are n number of dimensions we know nothing of. Maybe we could just say that, man is never satisfied and this is just an alibi to validate that. You could go on and on, but in the end ignorance is bliss. Funnily enough, philosophy always talks of the unknown and maybe is a waste of time, but then so would be a lot of other things..<BR/><BR/><BR/>and the first time i heard about 11 dimensions..string theory n all was thru good ol' AO sir...samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00542306446207221829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19143096.post-1152125820803071572006-07-05T11:57:00.000-07:002006-07-05T11:57:00.000-07:00Just think about this: What we know about the univ...Just think about this: What we know about the universe is what our five senses have told us. Assume there exists more senses known to other species, but unknown to us. We are oblivious to whatever communication that is going on in the universe in those domains, because we do not have the mechanism to interpret it. At any point of time, there may be infinite communication channels in some form carrying information to us on the universe, which we are not able to decipher. <BR/>Say, why is our eye sensitive to just a very narrow range in the em spectrum? Is visual perception limited to this range? what if there are other species out there who can 'see' more of whatever is around us through their senses? what if they can 'see' our temperature (you know of IR vision, right) or even other attributes? what if they can know all about us by 'seeing' our aura or whatever? <BR/>This leaves me to believe that whatever we know of the world we live in is just a very minute fraction of all the information it contains. whatever you see right now on your desk is actually communicating much more information about itself to you than what you actually see, only that you are not able to sense it.<BR/>Now to the lighter side of philosophy.

Imagine a fly living on a "hot plate", where the temperature of the plate is a function of only R, not of theta. He then goes on to prove that whatever length measurements the fly does on his hotplate world, and get confused about it (it will clearly be different from the case where the plate is uniformly 'cold'), is exactly the same kind of discrepancies we had when we dealt with curved space-time.. Just a small twist, and we have a whole new way of looking at it.. :)Mohan K.Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17506795236780570983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19143096.post-1151824090902058882006-07-02T00:08:00.000-07:002006-07-02T00:08:00.000-07:00there is more to it da.. let's say our earth is in...there is more to it da.. let's say our earth is in a dimension which is devoid of some other sense that other living species elsewhere have. we dont know what it is, because we do not know about its existence at all. probably what we now know about the 'realities of the universe' are just a minute fraction of the realities that the others percieve. how about that?<BR/>PS: I can see that you have taken up serious blogging.. way to go, man!DeepThoughthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00952531973214021237noreply@blogger.com
