what are they exactly? time is change...i figured that out

memories...what exactly are they...something your mind made up? or can it be true?

what is conscience? i believe conscience is only a memory...everything you do it recoreder down...almost instanly...

if aliens came to earth and they diditn have smell....what would it be liek to them? they couldnt understand the term smell right?

what else?

Time is a dimension, hard to explain though.



Memories are references to certain important events that took place and are stored in our brain.



Conscience is a state in which your brain can be. Other states include semi-conscience and unconscience.



Do blind people understand the ability of sight?

A person who does not have sight can will ever hardly comprehend what blue and red is.

Imagine you having an eye on your foot, it's nearly impossible to imagine how it will be like... think about it, your two eyes are close together and the images both your eyes see are overlapped and clearly interpretted by the brain. However, if the eye on your foot happens to be 1.5 metres away from the eye on your head, how do you think you will actually 'view' with the extra eye?

hm..ya...its all about perspective.

well i wasnt saying technically...life is a memory...isnt it? like im rembering i type "isnt it" again and again....

eew...eys on your foot. if you wanaa be techincal....the species like that would of died out millions of years ago lol...they cant see right...unless theres no predators on their planet.

but time is change isnt? if everything stopped changing...that means time froze...and the counter of time froze too...so that means you froze time, right?

and semi-conscience isnt realyl conscience....you really dont know what happening...

hm...i wonder...lets say you go to the moon. after a day you get brain washed...would you of even known you were there before you were erased? i mean..if you cant remeber that means it never happend for you...but will you experience it?
weird...
so....if you only live what you remeber consceince is really a memory right?(not techinically, cause as you said before...its a state of our brains...but i cant fidn the right word...)


EDIT: i dont understand what i posted...lol

actually, memoies would be hard to prove from a scientific stand point becuase of the fact that we are always n the present, it is possible that you only exist for one instant and in that instant you have the dilussion of memory suggesting that you existed longer and will exist longer.

as far as consienceness goes, you brain is far more complex then humans will ever know. your brain can process a lot more then you might relize, for instant you might remember something that u didnt relize the first time you saw it. this happens becuase your brain picks up on it the first time but doesnt bring it up consiencely... you consence is just what your brain tells you you should be focusing on.
one instance of this is in this one show i watched about sight. it talked all about optical illusions and why the brain create them. one of the examples it used is that the brain can blank out things it sees if it doesnt expect to see them. it showed this by haveing a bar full of people look at a screen. they had 5 basket ball players on the screen, 2 in purple shirts, 3 in yellow shirts, all these player were bouncing balls to eachother. the people in the bar were told to try and count all the balls that the yellow players passed. In the middle of this scene a man in a gorrilla suit walks across the screen stops in the middle, beats his chest, then walks on. because 3/4 of the people in the bar were focusing so hard on the people passing the ball, their brains did not register the monkey, and only a gurater of the people saw it. to empasis this point even more, the show then went back and showed you that through out the program they had been doing the same thing with the monkey at different times. I had been focusing so much on the show that i hadnt noticed him the first time around. instead my brain had just registerd him as a man in a rain coat, when i thought back to it. this is just one example of how the consince brain can play tricks on us.

Memerios? yes the are true you must be living in a box or a hole jk XD

Time is an abstract concept created by carbon based life forms to mesure their ongoing decay. [Stolen, I know]

Memories are things that your brain has gone through, things tha really impacted it, which is why you don't remember those small things, like squashing that bug, but the bigs things, like your birthdays, first times, stuff like that.

Your conscience is morals, like a holder for decisions. If you decided that you'll never tell a lie, then when your about to tell one, it reminds you that you promised to never tell a lie.

About the aliens, same thign with us, we don't understand what it would be like to NOT have a sense of smell.

Agreed on the time thing. Time si the 4th dimension, a system of emasuremnt used to measure decay, overall disorder, and differenced between objects relative to each other.

Memories are things you remember. Can't erally xplain better than that. Your brain tkaes in what happens and creates some triggers that would activate the stimulii for that memory in order for the chemcial processes to distribute images and smells etc to the neural pasts foy uor sensory nerves. A crappy description, but I don't really know waht causes certain thing sto be rememebred, whether it is neural traffic in stasis in particuler parts of the brain, or a cell chenmical process in stacked layers with set of stimulii to bring it up. I wonder if it's kept in a similar place as instincts. This would be interesting to read up on, I think I'll do that.

Time has its own section in serious discussion.

Memories are connections made between nerves in your brain, that is why smart people don't nessecarily have big brains (acually bigger brains have been connected to mental problems) they have more wrinkles. If you have more connections between nerves in your brain you can relate to different things, which is based upon previous experiences aka memories.

Conscience is simply your interpretation of the social veiws of right and wrong.

If aliens came to earth and didnt have smell (unlikely) Talking about smells would be the same as discussing colors with a blind person. (its aukward, believe me) Basically they would not be able to survive as well as other animals, because if there were a deadly chemical in something, they would be unable to detect it, which is, evolutionarily, the purpose of smell.

Why can't we remember the future? It baffles science to this day.
