I thought of this the other day...

There is so much movement in the universe (us orbiting the sun, the earth rotating, our solar system orbiting our galaxy, all expanding in the universe) that we are very likely going at the speed of light, or near it at the moment. I also thought of the immense strength we would have if none of this movement was happening, and if we had no atmosphere above us.

>This particular sensation is not considered a taste in the technical sense, because it is carried to the brain by a different set of nerves. Although taste nerves are also activated when consuming foods like chili peppers, the sensation commonly interpreted as "hot" results from the stimulation of somatosensory (pain/temperature) fibers on the tongue. Many parts of the body with exposed membranes but without taste sensors (such as the nasal cavity, under the fingernails, or a wound) produce a similar sensation of heat when exposed to hotness agents.

There's not a ton of extra unused brain in people's heads waiting to be unlocked. Evolution doesn't work that way. If you've got a super ability to memorize every day of the week or count toothpicks, it's because your shitty brain decided that was important enough to devote resources to...say, instead of learning how to dress your fucking self, tie your own shoelaces or reading body language.

>god damn you, you didn't learn SHIT about quantum physics
yeah man you maybe right but this thing is just not logical
if nature is truly probabilistic then how can entangled particles have exactly opposite spins or polarisations
and do you really believe that electromagnetism is caused by virtual photons traveling forth and back through time...
i think it's just wild theories because we can't see what is really happening down there
but quantum tunneling man this sounds like magic.. yes i know it happens it's a fact but how it happens is the unknown it's not just because the probability wave allows it....

and what would you say about this:
delta t * delta E > lambda
you know what this means you can have nearly infinite energy for a very small time.. that's just nutts
