Time dilation. Crazy shit.

Quantum tunneling's a close second, though.

Quantum computers.
I mean a computer that runs off of a string of atoms.

that sentience can assemble itself from atoms

e in general. I mean, e as a number and how it makes all math its bitch is just frightening.

>>2804064

Identity is the most mindblowing thing to me, the other shit is cool but identity and self awareness and feeling like I'm "me" blows the fuck out of my mind.

The purpose of sperm arent to impregnate women, but to gaurd and patrol her vagina from the sperm of other men.

Sperm Wars Yo. Awesome Book.

Probably the fact that we're naturally self-absorbed and sort of think we're the center of the universe, but we're just one person out of so, so many. It's just crazy how insignificant we are in the grand scheme of the world, but in our minds we're so important.

>>2804115
Of some sperm, not all sperm.

Is that really the most mindblowing thing? The double slit experiment? Special relativity? A platypus? Those are all a hell of alot more un-intuitively interesting

>>2804161

I think sexual information is the coolest because, I think its fundamental to human beings. Sperm Competition is an ugly idea no one would publically think about or talk about, because it implies vile things about human beings. I think its amazing, because its not talked about, researched, or believe BECAUSE its evil. I think thats just fascinating.

>>2804087
This. The fact that I am here, right now, typing this, because of natural processes that assembled me over billions of years, and the fact that my brain is still only particles operating on basic physical principals.

everything observable can be explained as a math equation

The conscious is the most amazing thing, I love space but Peter Russel gave an amazing lecture on this... Its long but enlightening

that isnt true at all
not every idea can be expressed in a mathematical fashion
see: goedel's incompleteness theorem

>>2804232

But that's just because math is the middle man between ordinary words and logics. Kinda like chemistry in science.

Neurologists. It's just mind-blowing that they are attempting to be a self-knowing system.

How can it even fit inside itself?

>>2804044
The apparent tautology that it exists at all.

Quantum Super Position blew my fucking mind when I first read about it

That there may be an infinite number of universities containing all possible worlds, including an exact replica of ours or even one very similar to ours but in which there are flamingos as big as elephants on which we ride to work.

I've seen it twice now and childbirth still freaks me the fuck out. In a great way.

>>2804131
Make a movie out of the opposite.

A world where everybody knows how insignificant they are and readily give their lives for whatever. Kinda like Equilibrium.

That past present and future might co-emerge and cause one another. That does not mean that effects are magically send back in time to cause the present, but rather that the past is not totally defined (Quantum Fuzziness) until subsequent processes determine the cause of which they are the effect.

>>2806963

>infinite number of universities

Giant-Flamingo-Riding University is now my favourite concept for a fantasy setting.

And, to add my own answer to the OP's question, when I walk around at night and realize that, eons ago, there were no humans, and that the only things looking up at the sky were animals, and they looked up and saw... Not the same night sky, but one very similar. Then I realize that some of the photons flying down and hitting me, tiny specks that I might never notice due to a lack of a potent telescope, are from billions of lightyears away; a distant galaxy, and distant stars, and, for a brief moment, I realize how awe-inspiringly huge everything is.

the fact all of it exists

>>2804058

>>2807043

Same here, bro.

For me it is the (not so small) possibility that on a distant planet some intelligent aliens are thinking about the same stuff mentioned in this thread (including this post).

>>2807057

Good to know someone feels the same way, either about the cosmos or about students playing polo on the backs of giant flamingos against teams from other universities.

It also gets kinda awe-inspiring to spend a moment thinking of all the humans who have lived, especially in that long period before settled civilization began. The thought of people whose lives were defined by superstitions, stories, the hunt, and the ever-present gnawing fear of what lies in tomorrow...

>>2807074

Awesome image, bro.

This has freaked me out since I was in diapers.

The whole consiousness thing. I mean, what is my mind? What is free thinking? Shit this is hard to explain. Anyone else with me?

>>2807102
No, you are the only person who thinks in the entire universe. You are on an entire plane above us.

>>2807102

At first I would have agreed. But then I read Putnam, Ryle and Carnap and now for me the issue is meh at best.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zE-IZynfKM

>>2807102
Yeah I am "with you" to some extent, until I realised that there is really no way to answer questions like those...
So either forget about the questions, or drive yourself insane and keep asking them. your choice
ignorance is bliss etc.

well there are basically 2 thing that i consider to be most fascinating:
- quantum uncertainty (implies the double slit experiment and focusing a mirror when cutting little strips from it)
- general relativity (the speed of light is a constant in every physical system, time and space are intertwined, moving faster makes your size smaller your mass bigger and to an standing still observer you look like time is going slower for you, there is no simultaneousy it depends on the observer)

mind blown

>>2804064

Because it was defined that way by Euler, it loses much of its beaty imo :(
I was fascinated by it aswell untill I started to learn about it.

>>2804270

>>2807156

Nice.

Have a loot at how Dennett deals with it too:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cSgVgrC-6Y

Heisenberg uncertainty principle is pretty mind blowing for me.

counter strike source

Looking at my table and understanding that maybe, it is a bunch of these particles in a sort of energy cloud. And that the different energy clouds/gradients interact with each other to snap into larger molecular structures, just by the nature of the amount of energy contained in each set of particle clouds. And all of these molecular structures are snapped together into the structures that they are most stable, and kind of stacked on each other in a great big mound, and I see a table when some light energy gets absorbed by this mound, and some reflected into the tiny hole in my face that can interpret the wave energy, some of which has traveled billions of light years.

Hopefully that was coherent. I like thinking about something of this nature daily. We live in an absolutely absurd place guys, and I love it.

So, let me get this straight. If I go in one direction long enough... (Ignoring universal expansion, purely as a geometric exercise...) I'll approach my starting point from the opposite direction?

>>2807214
I don't know space stuff... Is this true?

Fucking magnets, man.

The fact that we are all just energy slowed down to a condense vibrating state ( higgs-field), that interacts with itself forming... everything.

the fact that there is no good or evil right or wrong, we are basicly free to live life like we want too, and yet the world ( society) is the way it is, too many idiots on the dancefloor.

the fact that I don't know if me making this post is free will, or pre-ordained.

>>2807170
general includes special relativity
it's just a modified version of special relativity to include gravity

Every living organ of our body might be holding relatively high amounts of memory inside itself.

organ donors don't have memory loss
people with transplanted organs don't remember stuff that never happened to them

>>2807292
care to elaborate?

>>2807307
uh, yeah, that last one is wrong.

The fact that none of my atoms are conscious, yet they form to make me, a conscious human being.

Also, those atoms were created in stars. Us humans all have common ancestry much deeper than just that of biology.

>>2807102
Better explaination:
What is me? How does this cosiousness link to this body? Am I here? Is mind natural or some super power?

>>2807315
>The fact that none of my atoms are conscious, yet they form to make me, a conscious human being.

I LOVE that thought! Also - those particles that we are made of, are changing ALL THE TIME. We're some sort of glob of different particles that move in and out of "us".

>>2807307
It's more of a subconcious, separated memory that has nothing to do with your actual brain-located memory.
Again, it's a very generic theory around little neuron's tubular structures somewhere in our splein/heart/whatever. Still a long way to go.

>>2807320
yes :D

and how about something that my prof once told me: "all the atoms we are made up of are changed every seven years" (well not exactly like that, but you know what i mean).

mind. blown.

>>2807320

Yeah. And the whole wave-aspect of physics. Photons constantly going through me; not to mention other particles, and so on. Acting like waves.

As Feynman said, "the inconceivable nature of nature." "It's all REALLY there", which is really weird to think about..

Oh how I love physics.

>>2807328
sorta makes kinda sense. Neural networks formed by someone else could be more likely to fire in the same patterns they always did before.

What would a brain transplant do? Same idea, with a much more rudimentary neural network.

>>2807320
except thats probably wrong. either the atoms, or more specifically the electrons or smaller subatomic particles are conscious, or determuinism is true and your consciousness is an illusion.

Dreaming and hallucinogens

>>2807307
Actually, I remember watching a documentary about a boy who had a heart transplant and by receiving the heart of another person, he gained some of that person's memories. Apparently, some of his memories were of actual events in the donor's life. The donor's widowed wife was there to verify this.
Plus, I advise that you stand in the middle of a doorway, always ensure that your arms are straight and that you push your hands into the doorway by raising them, into the door frame in the Coronal plane. Push as hard as you can. After 30 seconds, what you find is that your arms will go up by themselves. I read that this is due to the memory of your muscles. (I hope my instructions were good)

Fourier synthesis/decomposition bro

Ribosomes are tickertape computers, and RNA is Turing machine code.

>>2807395
good thing that you know nothing about neural networks
protip: neural networks do not store memory. when we emulate neural networks for image recognition we're not teaching the program how to "see"
it's possible to store information this way, but the moment you try to encode something else you loose the ability to "see"

>>2807373
> he gained some of that person's memories. Apparently, some of his memories were of actual events in the donor's life
Yeah, that was an episode of The Outer Limits. Urban legend, nothing more.

The fact that mysterious objects fly around in our skies. We don't know what they are or where they came from and the only thing that is certain is that the government is holding back something.

The evolution of macroscopic behavior from microscopic forces.

i.e. neutron stars, superconductivity, etc

>>2807529

>>>/x/

The fact that is Almost Certain that life exists in the universe besides us, but that we will very likely never contact or find it due to the scale of the universe

Catch-22

>>2807522
For an urban legends there's an alarming number of similar cases.

it's the reason they are actually studying those cases.

>>2807550
>The fact that is Almost Certain

We still have no idea if biogenesis is so damn unlikely that it could only happen once (with luck) or not.

So either we demonstrate in the lap that the conditions for life to arise are common or we find signs of life elsewhere.

Before that we are totally in the dark.

But considering that we actually might be "alone" is just as mindblowing as the alternative to me.

>>2807563
The scale of the universe pretty much guarantees it would have happened elsewhere

Existence blows my mind

>>2807567

How can you know that without knowing how likely it is?

You do accept that there are things that are possible, yet so tremendously unlikely that they will never ever happen, right?

So maybe the occurrence of life is such an event and we got lucky that it happened at all despite the scale of the universe.

>>2807577
I like this anon's thinking.

Who's to say that life isn't so unlikely, that there are many other universes where none exists whatsoever? And that only reason we're all here, living, is because life doesn't exist elsewhere?
Blowing shit out of my ass here, but unless we can actually -make- life out of non-life, somewhere else, do we really know all the requirements for life?

That every second of every day a multitude of people find love and yet I never will.

No, and we never will.

>>2807611


Regardless of whether you're right, it is irrelevant.

That man is the product of causes which had no prevision of the end they were achieving; that his origin, his growth, his hopes and fears, his loves and his beliefs, are but the outcome of accidental collocations of atoms; that no fire, no heroism, no intensity of thought and feeling, can preserve an individual life beyond the grave; that all the labours of the ages, all the devotion, all the inspiration, all the noonday brightness of human genius, are destined to extinction in the vast death of the solar system, and that the whole temple of Man's achievement must inevitably be buried beneath the debris of a universe in ruins.

watch this and try to wrap your mind around how big the universe actually is.

That one little section of the night sky contains thousands and thousands of galaxies, each of which contain BILLIONS of stars, each of which could be a sun to some planet...All in that one little area.

To me it's not weather other life exists in the universe, but how much life is out there. Hell, the Milky Way might be crawling with primitive civilizations.

IN a flat universe the total energy is 0.

The phenomena we call Consciousness.

What was the news that was huge on /sci/ a few weeks ago that was about astronomers finding out something crucial about the possible amount of planets in our galaxy?

Anyone remember or have a link?

>>2807689
>Hell, the Milky Way might be crawling with primitive civilizations.

Yes. Or not.

Think about this: Can a marble statue juggle with balls for a minute?

The answer is: Yes it can. All the molecules just need to move in the right direction at the right time. But this is so damn improbable that we can confidently say that it never happened nowhere in the universe. On none of the many many many many planets did a marble statue ever juggle.

Yes the universe is big, REALLY big. But that doesn't mean that there are still things so unlikely that they may never happen; or only once.

>>2807658

THE INCONCEIIIIIIIIIIIIIVABLE NATURE... OF NATURE.

>>2807732
Although I'm inclined to think that there probably is other life in the universe, in this particular thread I'm sympathising with this guy. We have no idea what the probably is, it could be - as he says - that the emergence of life is so incredibly rare, so astronomically unlikely that there really is no life anywhere else in the universe at all, or even in the multitudes of other universes that may well exist. We just cannot be sure either way and the guys arguing for life seem to be the victims of wish thinking to me.

Life. Why should life exist at all? What other form of matter self-propagates?

Also, what if we are the only intelligent species anywhere in the universe?

Think of it this way. Let's assume life is improbable, but not unheard of in the universe. Say 1/100 potentially suitable planets have life.

On Earth, only 1 of the hundreds of millions of species that have existed had higher form intelligence that we do (OK, maybe 2 if you count Neanderthal).

That's a very, very small number. It might be completely unique in the universe.

Thoughts?

When the oil runs out human civilization will go back to its roots.

>>2807800

I am this guy and my intuition is also that there is life on other planets. But we currently have no hard evidence one way or the other.

That is why I am hoping that we might find something on other planets in the solar systems or on arriving comets. Because if there was a second genesis of life and it just happened to reach our tiny part of the universe then the universe really must be filled with life.

>>2807848

>overexaggerating

I have no idea why I typed that. I apologize.

The mere fact that we can understand anything, let alone as much as we do, with mathematics.

It makes the universe seem so beautiful.

>>2807848
how so? Intelligent life is the exception, not the rule. And there is definitely something unique about human intelligence.

>>2807924

It is unique in that it has progressed further than other intelligences on this planet. But in my opinion it's the same intelligence as, for an example, a crow has, just widely expanded and enhanced.

There's nothing inherently special about it, except that it's progressed far further and become much more adaptive than all other intelligences on our planet.

>>2807949
I understand now. I agree, but i still think there may be something highly unusual about the sort of higher intelligence and cognition that humans are capable of. I know there are analogies in the animal kingdom but I think we are still quite unique.

>>2807949

I agree. I always find it puzzling when people pretend like there is something mysterious about human intelligence, while we have many examples of the path it must have developed. From simpler organisms like insects to mammals and our nearest ancestors.

I think it is awesome but nothing special, really.

>>2807985
Then why have no other species developed our level of development? Think of every species that have come before.

I don't think there is anything mysterious about human intelligence. I just think that, from an evolutionary perspective, it's very, very rare, and there is a good chance it doesnt exist anywhere else in the universe.

We are the only species on earth that has ever asked any of these questions. There have been millions and millions of species. That's a very, very small number.

Similarly, "god" could just be beings that live in the 5th dimension or higher.

Subjective experience, the fact that it evolved is amazing and mind-blowing.

Evolution could have just created mindless automata, things that just react to their environment, but for some reason it gave them the power to be aware of their environment and feel it....why?

We don't need subjective experience of pain, a machine can avoid pain and react to avoid it without needing to feel it...

pretty spooky

The most mysterious, mind-blowing, and complex thing in the universe is in your brain. Your consciousness trumps all other physical phenomena.

If you want to understand the universe and how it works, you have to understand the mind.

Physicists need to point the telescope inward, they are missing the point.

not really strange at all, and many other creatures show significant subjective experience and internal debate, of course bonobos among the most advanced.

the reason is probably so you can extrapolate/teach and in other ways make use of the information abstractly, not just by being trained by the environment.

it's strange in any animal, in any form of life...it's one thing to function "objectively" and simply react to the environment...

but it's a totally different thing to have your own internal experience of the world

im not sure why consciousness evolved, i can imagine a perfectly normal world where every life form is a mindless automata that simply reacts to its environment in a predetermined or random way...like zombies

you don't have to taste food to eat it, you dont have to feel pain to avoid it

life forms could have been conditioned to react exactly the way they do now, but without having any internal experience of the world

Think of how much diversity there is on this planet. Life will spring up wherever it gets the chance to. Look at the amount of extremophiles there are and how well some animals are adapted to their environments.

That actually makes it less mind boggling for me. I just wouldn't comprehend waves that exist all on their own. I'd have to assume there's Ether or some other dumb shit.

For me the most mind boggling things are mass, gravity, magnetism and the quantum vacuum.

I consider the fact that we are capable of conceiving the grandest ideas and examine the most vexing mysteries, yet spend most of our time trolling on 4chan, as the most mindblowing aspect of the natural world.

What I think he means is that since we are part of the universe and are conscious of ourselves (and the universe) a part of the universe could be said to be conscious of itself.

That pretty much all elements in our body (i.e. calcium, iron, phosphorus etc) were fused in the Sun, so we are kind of related
