I've always liked doing thought experiments, and lately, these concepts have captivated me. Try watching the links and thinking about these. Whether you accept them or not, just considering larger perspectives can help the mind.
The Idea? The Sun Will Never Run Out.
Why? Because the entire model of our existence has been misunderstood. So what's the answer? It's electric. This one seems pretty convincing to me. Could have a deep impact (good info despite the presumption that scientists are all "he" by the writers)
The Idea? We're Really in the Matrix.
The perceptions we observe may well be coming from an artificial source. Suppose we could take our brain out of our body and keep it alive in a glass jar. Put a computer in which all kinds of information can be recorded. Transmit the electrical signals of all the data related to a setting such as image, sound and smell into this computer. Connect this computer to the sensory centers in our brain with electrodes and send the pre-recorded data to our brain. As our brain perceives these signals it will see and live the setting correlated with these.
The Idea? The Earth's Not in the Shape We Want It In.
Flat Earth?! Hahaha.... okay wait. I decided to be try to understand and be compassionate, and I've got genuine curiosity. You'll have to ignore the semi-epic music in the following clip, but can anyone answer the questions posed about Polaris seeming not to move despite Earth wobbles? Or why we can see light across the ocean during a sunset when we're tangential to the sun? Another explanation?
