In the field of actually knowing stuff, where Youtube goers generally don't dwell, we get tired of constant hypotheticals that spawn from the hypotheticals of people who actually do know stuff.

@TomFynn Yes, I stated it wrong in this short text board, I'm sorry. I meant that both are waves at different frequencies, that our senses can only reinterpret like 2 different things (depending on the frequency) when both are actually waves. If our ears were able to listen frequencies beyond 20 kHz to something around 405 THz to 790 THz, then we actually would hear the light. That's what I was referring to.

@Overxpossed 2I think the Universe is actually a hologram, and furthermore, one made by our own senses." Is that based on Michael Talbot stuff?

[strangestdude]

@Overxpossed What statement is self-refuting, please quote it.

[TomFynn]

@Overxpossed "The sound is the same wave than light" No. One is a density fluctuation in matter and the other is an oscillating electromagnetic field.

"What if we expand our ears/eyes to hear the light and to see the sound?" Nothing much, as bats can testify.

[Overxpossed]

@strangestdude that's statement is actually self-refuting, because you're actually thinking on the entity you're trying to disprove. If wouldn't be possible reasoning about such entity, actually, we all would been atheists. Of course this is not a proof that such entity exist, but probes that it's possible having a logical reasoning about such entity, therefore, such entity becomes possible. I think you're stating from a petitio principii that mind cannot transcend space and time.

@dragontips I think the Universe is actually a hologram, and furthermore, one made by our own senses. We know everything in the Universe is composed by waves and energy. The sound is the same wave than light, but we're capable to register as sound, not as light. As well, light is also a wave, that we're only capable to register as light. In both cases we hear/see waves bouncing around being filtered by our ears and eyes. What if we expand our ears/eyes to hear the light and to see the sound?

[Overxpossed]

@strangestdude Oh. Thanks to you for your good will :) I think we're all learning from this. This is how we evolve, I think, interchanging opinions :)

[Overxpossed]

@acr08807 Thanks man. I also think that we need to be careful as well about making general statements in the absence of evidence, since you know, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence and, furthermore, what's 'evidence' is quite subjective as well. I don't think, for example, that there is not absence of evidence, but plenty of it. The point is where the evidence points at. Thanks for the tip. Nice to talk with you :)
