@satanas237 WTF, You need help.

[satanas237]

Beauty is learnt?? Certainly not! It is precision beyond mathematics. Humans can see beauty because of our spiritual involvement with creation. Denial as the dualistic opposite, is destruction and ugliness. Both are part of the dimension we live in, like life and death. A great image of the universe to compare with the nebula is above Athens, from google earth. It is like cancer... and there, the paradox, the need for further creation.

Have anybody seen human figures while examine this nebula?

@Thisisnotmyrealname8 The neural basis for appreciating beauty? As i said, I dont know. :) I think that science has not found an answer for that.. yet.

[HannahZepplg]

@Thisisnotmyrealname8 I think that the concept of beauty is a learned behavior. But beauty is one of the most relative concept. Highly context dependent. Of course, influenced by culture, experience and learning, but... everything we find beautiful can be traceable to the structure and function of our brain? Someone said that beauty exists not in things but "in the mind that contemplates them."
