Re: Weird Theories about everything.
 

A weird (not science!) thought I've had for a while: When a person dies, 'they' get 'reborn' as another being. That is, the moment your body dies, you immediately wake up in a newborn body.

Thank about it: Where were 'you' (the consciousness) before you (the body) were born? Were 'you' in living inside another body at a certain point in time in the past? Were 'you' drifting in space and time in search of a vessel when the one 'you' inhabited perished away? Or were 'you' in the body you're having now right from the very beginning?

The reason I'm saying all of this is because I was thinking how we came to be in the first place: We all come from part of the energy belonging to the universe, from the moment the Big Bang(s) happened. Everything were literally stardust/massless energy eons ago, and through a multitude of reasons these beings we call 'humans' appeared today.

Sometimes I think that 'consciousnesses' are part of this energy as well: When they find a vessel they could inhabit in, they go in until it dies. Inside a body, it gets to experience time and space. When it doesn't have a body, it can't feel either of these things (the passage of time, the realms of space). Note that the 'consciousness' I'm talking about here differs from 'souls': Souls retain a personality (if that definition's correct/accurate?), whereas consciousnesses don't.

This is not a question that could be answered by science (or anything else, at least to me). It's kinda fun and pointless thinking about it though. I'm not sure whether there's a named theory/thought related to this.

Re: Weird Theories about everything.
 

my theory about the death of a person was that after death a person finds himself in the place he thought about the last minutes of his life
this is a strange theory, but quite entertaining, because it is at this moment that the whole spirit of a person is revealed, what he thought about in life and where he sought to get after life
whether it is something related to religion like heaven or hell, or even some kind of 2D world from the anime, there the entire inner subconscious of a person is revealed
and is revealed specifically for him.

theory: this is a terrible critical thinking thread.

Theory #372: "The dire importance of gasoline and feces to the modern economist."
 

Future gasoline is made from collecting and distilling the alcohol gases that evaporate from feces.

Gold stinger cannot handle the sheer intellect people within this thread provide thus he believes it is a bad thread

Re: Weird Theories about everything.
 

Some theories are unfortunately perceived as terrible to people no matter how sensible they sound. Everything is subject to the scrutiny of subjectivity and personal bias in the world of theory and thought.
but yes this is bad thread because most of you guys just write a few sentences and expect us to keel over and be amazed at how thoughtful you are

Re: Weird Theories about everything.
 

I find weird theories to be extremely interesting, and never too unbelievable. And I know many others that feel the same way. It isn't a subject to be a skeptic or naysayer about. Either you're all for it, or too bad.

Re: Weird Theories about everything.
 

It's because in the definition of theory, it is meant to be a system of ideas intended to explain something that would otherwise be unexplained. Your theory in here has some level of ideas for something that would otherwise be unexplained. Everything else in here is either flat out wrong, belief, or doesn't have any system of idea backing it up beyond a statement.

If you want to make a theory beyond something like this:

Then give me some reasons why you think or believe this is the case (a.k.a, give me some content to critically think about).


example:

To push in a different direction from andrew's theory, it's fact that brains are largely responsible for memory. We also know that when you die, you are technically still alive for a brief amount of time, but un-aware of it. I think it's possible that if you die, and your body goes through the cycle of life extremely quickly (we're talking cells in the body being broken down, re-used for energy, and possibly that energy going into breeding, human or not) it might be possible that those memories or at least the way a muscle or brain 'fires' neurons (kind of like how if you shake salt on frog legs the muscles contract & expand) can translate to another being. I mean, you're physically moving cells from one being to another when eating meat all the time, cells DO contain DNA & stuff we can't fully grasp as well. The difference is how quickly that cycle of life happens, and would explain a lot of situations of people having memories from past lives. Since an example could be like:

>Someone drowns in an ocean
>Fish eat the body
>Someone pregnant eats said fish
>pregnant human delivers baby
>baby somehow contains memories from someone in the 1990's

Pulled this example from an actual story that was ran back in 2006: https://abcnews.go.com/Primetime/story?id=132381&page=1

Re: Weird Theories about everything.
 

I know that lol. I'm just stating the obvious is all.

re: gold stinger
 

For example, I have seen real UFOs in the sky on numerous occasions. During those occasions, I stopped what I was doing and watched them intently. Each sighting was of different kinds of UFOs with different flight patterns and details. I am very interested in this topic, watching numerous documentaries over the years, and I am personal friends with many other folks and members of the UFO community. Thus, anyone who says we're full of hogwash is being a spoilsport.

I hope you understand my explanation.

Re: gold stinger
 

Alright, so are all of them completely unidentified here? Or have you also seen planes/helicopters and shrugged them off as such?
Which would you say you've seen or noticed more of (identifiable vs unidentifiable)?
Have you tried deducing/tracking down exactly what you saw? There's a couple websites out there that help you check overhead air traffic like https://www.flightradar24.com/ or https://flightaware.com/

Re: Weird Theories about everything.
 

No comment. UFO-ology is one of many pseudo sciences, and the information about it is difficult to obtain, or find very easily, due to the nature of it. But yes, they are alien aircraft.

Re: Weird Theories about everything.
 

I mean, I'm just asking regarding what you've personally experienced, not what UFO-ology has to say about it as a whole. Like sure, if that's your belief then by all means stick to your guns on it. No qualms about that. Just hard to accept & albeit a little annoying to 'probe' (haha ufo joke) for truth or perspective on the subject when you do get a chance to ask questions about a worldview that you don't necessarily share and get shut down.

Re: gold stinger
 

Sure gold stinger.
I've had 4 UFO experiences of notability.

1. 2008: I was watching what I thought was a satellite moving across the night sky, but then it crossed paths with a star, and disappeared, apparently docked into the star.
2. 2018: I was sitting on a park bench one night, playing Dragonrip on my cell phone, when I noticed some craft in the sky. They were a group of around 7 small, silver triangles. Since they were flying around under the low-hanging clouds, I could tell that they were only 3 meters in length/width at most. They were maneuvering in alien ways, accelerating and sharply turning supernaturally. Intent on watching them as long as time permitted, I finally just got bored and left after 2 hours of watching them fly around.
3. 2020: Saw a very strange looking, large object, flying very low in the sky, about 1 mile away and cruising toward me at about 60 miles per hour. As it drew nearer, I thought that it looked like a paper machier parade float version of a Gundam Wing robot, glowing with combinations of red, blue, and green translucent lights. I watched it pass over me, and continue until it sunk lower, disappearing under a ridge.
4. 2020: I saw another very strange object in the sky, at an altitude of about 150 meters. I shouted at it loudly and waved my arms as I watched it moving unnaturally. I could only imagine if it was manmade, it was a very very large drone.

UFO-ology is basically just all the collected stories like this from folks. No one is seeing UFOs with any amount of regularity.

Re: Weird Theories about everything.
 

why do you say that this thread is horrible and keep answering in it?

Re: Weird Theories about everything.
 

I didn't say this thread is horrible. I said that it was a terrible critical thinking thread. As in, it doesn't deserve critical thinking status.

Re: Weird Theories about everything.
 

Personally, I see potential in this being a good critical thinking thread, provided that we don't treat this as a 'chitchat' thread and try to elaborate our reasoning behind the simple statements we say in here.

Even though theories aren't necessarily provable or verifiable, they do provide good opportunities for discussion on specific topics and possibly even further everyone's knowledge and depth of thought on them. Instead of thinking alone, we could get multiple people to think of one thing and come up with more substantiated ideas. Isn't this a good chance to learn more?

Of course, we could only do that as long as the reasoning behind our theories is logical or reasonable. I'm sure everyone's got something good to share!

Re: Weird Theories about everything.
 

Theories that lack empirical evidence are little more than wishful thinking. Sure they might be interesting what-ifs but I find a lot of unnecessary energy is wasted trying to validate ridiculous claims for the sake of some personal satisfaction (religion being a good example).

The adage "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" is good to keep in mind here.

If a theory is considered "weird" then it would fall into the extraordinary category and to echo goldstinger, really wouldn't be worth talking about unless there are enough supporting facts to consider and talk about. Every example given in this thread so far has been pure conjecturing.

Re: Weird Theories about everything.
 

4 dimensional objects cast 3 dimensional shadows

ghosts are shadows of 4 dimensional people aka dead people/people who haven't been born yet

Re: Weird Theories about everything.
 

I highly agree with you on that. Some theories, however interesting they are, don't help us learn more about ourselves or our surroundings. They remain merely as curious thoughts that go nowhere.

Even then, I still think there are good theories to talk about. Not all 'weird' theories have to imply extraordinary/religious stuff. We could be talking about our theories based on our observations on things happening around us, especially politics. For example, one could discuss about the seemingly terrible things presidents or some nations do, and give reasons as to why that's done.

And even if we were to purely talk about (mostly) baseless conjecture, I still find this a good and fun way to learn to think better about certain topics. There might be points one has neglected to evaluate, or perhaps through discussions, one might find out that their reasoning is very biased. Too often nowadays do people just present one side of the story without considering the full picture, and we end up with people who blindly side with a certain party or group. Even I make this mistake sometimes.

To sum up what I think of this thread, I consider it not just as a chitchat thread, but also as a chance to develop critical thinking skills and talk about theories that might have some ground to them. This could become a good critical thinking thread if we treat it as one.

itt we rediscovered reincarnation and biodegradation?

this isn't anything particularly new but i'm guessing anyone who can "see in 4D" would need some noise-filtering mechanism as well, or observation of the fourth dimension would need some recency or understanding bias so one's vision doesn't just swim in continuous lines. i think it's easy to argue either of those biases would make sense because of the problem of our brains holding limited information, at least, and what flashflash says about shadows would mean there are still observables to find where something currently is

there was an xkcd about movie character interaction graphs, and i'm wondering if a book in "4D" would want some accompaniment like that, if it has any visual reference

Re: Weird Theories about everything.
 

The nature of the characters, (the Machines, Programs, Anaomlies, phenomena, and entities) of The Matrix films would be easy to do that with I bet.

pardon the conspiracy but 9/11 never happened

I've always wondered about if the life we're living now is just a memory of the life we just passed away from and we're already deceased.

Re: Weird Theories about everything.
 

World Conspiracy theory is still actual for me, I think that all these events are planned and scheduled and I read them like an open book

Re: Weird Theories about everything.
 

I have this theory that donuts and bagels are from alternate dimension parallel from eachother and have some how ended up in the current one they reside now as they gaze at each other from across a distance before their life's mission is full filled with cream
