The most important thing is never to stop asking ... Albert Einstein
Among the many confusing questions spread on websites, we chose ten of them that seem to be the type that everyone wonders about (regardless of the existential questions that have different philosophical answers!), And share the answer to them:
1-What does the blind see in his dreams?
2- Can you cry underwater?
3 - Why does the sticky liquid not stick to the tube that holds it?
4- How do you hear your thoughts when you think?
5- The chameleon changes color according to the medium, how would it be if the surface were a mirror?
6 - Do fish feel thirsty?
7- What is the color of the water?
8- What is the color of the sky?
9- What is the difference between someone who is assassinated and who is killed?
10- A zebra, is it black with white stripes or white with black stripes?
Answer:
What does the blind see in his dreams?
1- Dreams are related to what we see in reality. An Indian / primitive Amazonian cannot dream that he sends a song to “Rihanna” or “Shakira” to his friend (also the Indian) from an “iPhone” device! Because his mind does not have such information / data yet, so the mind relies on the information it acquires from reality to create plots during sleep with some distortion (because consciousness is low in the state of sleep), and distortion is the interference of information during the plot to explain what is happening during sleep .. (for example) a person He dreams that a fish is swimming around him, and he feels an itch in his back, when the physiological sensations are transmitted to the brain, then the mind will automatically integrate it in order to ensure the continuity of the state of sleep (it will give the dreamer an explanation of the feeling that has been transferred). The mind here relies on simple information (acquired from reality) and merging it with the plot as an interpretation so as not to disturb the sleep of the meaning and interrupt the plot (so it wakes up), and often chooses what is equivalent to the same feeling that the person receives (or as close as distortion). The dream may continue and the fish (in the face of the dog) will disappear in the absence of itching, or it will continue to bite him (the fish) until he wakes up and finds something pricking him or an insect that bites him, etc. Often a person hears disturbing sounds in his dream, and he wakes up after them and finds that they are present in reality. Like street shouting or rock songs, they were raised either inside the house or from the neighbors.
Consequently, the brain of the blind, which relies only on sounds from the outside world, will see in his dreams what it sees in its reality (with some distortion), that is, it will hear voices or screams, it will not see colors and anything else, the visual memory is devoid of images - and this is for those born blind - .
Can you cry underwater?
2 - Just as you can urinate, masturbate, or injure, the question seems puzzling because it does not occur to a person that he will find himself in this situation, but rather rare to happen.
Why does the sticky liquid not stick to the inside of the tube?
3 - Because there is no air in it, some types of (hard) tape if you open them cannot be reused because the air freezes the liquid at the tip of the tube.
How do you hear your thoughts when you think?
4 - The mind visualizes the situation before it takes place. Most of the ideas are imagined by the human being as a dialogue between two people (due to the advanced abstraction mechanism - the classification of information - by which the person excels from the rest of the creatures). It defines its existence / world. Therefore, its name must be heard internally before it is pronounced in order to be heard externally.
The chameleon changes color depending on the center, what would it be like if the surface were a mirror?
5- Nothing will happen, because the color of her skin changes according to its physical and physiological condition and not to suit its environment, as is commonly believed. Color has a role in communication too. Chameleons change color in response to light exposure and ocean temperature, as well as express their mood. Feelings and an attempt to attract a mate can lead to a change of color.
Do fish feel thirsty?
6- If you leave it outside the water, it thirsts / suffocates and dies, because it breathes through the water by extracting oxygen molecules and salts from it when it enters the body through the gills, through what is known as the osmotic property.
What is the color of the water?
7- Water is transparent and has no color, allowing light to pass through.
What color is the sky?
8 - The sky has no color because it is space, and space is dark (due to the absence of light) as it appears black at night, but during the day it changes due to the reflection of the sun’s rays on the atmosphere and their refraction on the air particles, so they appear bluish.
What is the difference between who is assassinated and who is killed?
9- Assassination is the killing of a person due to a political or religious belief - even if he is not famous (assassination often relates it to influence!) - Therefore, it is distinguished from the rest of the killing cases, given that the motives and causes are related to religion or politics.
Zebra, is it black with white stripes or white with black stripes?
10- When the animal’s body is dominated by color over color, we say (for example) a white cow with two black spots, so we weight the dominant color as its original and the other as an emergency. However, in a zebra, confusion occurs because the two colors look equal, there are white and black donkeys, but it is like a middle field.
The matter has to do with genes (slight changes in them), so it is genetically similar, meaning two colors together. But there is a study by researchers from Hungary and Sweden, which says that it is black, and given that the dark skin reflects light on the eyes of hungry flies (known as "tabanide") in a way that attracts it from that reflection of the white skin, the scientists suggested that the lines were an evolutionary move in the donkey that benefits the removal of flies Regarding its skin, they indicated that flies are not attracted to striped skin, and they found that it is the least attractive surface to flies than the "complete" black and white surfaces ... without, of course, denying that there are other explanations.
