What if rocks are really soft and they just tense up when we touch them?

What if the world were two dimensional, and we merely glided around two planes while our brains were responsible for giving us the false perception of a third dimension

What if everyone saw things differently? Such my perception of Red was different than yours? We'd never know.

Sounds like you have homoerotic dreams, and imagine objects getting hard when you touch them. Might want to look into therapy.

You think I need therapy for that? Hasn't tolerance taught us that we should embrace who we are instead of trying to suppress?

Cock or rock?

Things like this are what keep me awake at night.

Chris Hansen has taught us to be careful about who and what we embrace.

You know we never actually "touch" the rocks right? We get really close, but we never "touch" them.

It gets harder if you stroke it.

What if the person in the lane next to us is actually in an adjoining dimension until we nudge them into our reality??

Jules, rocks do not react to you as if they were women.

Well played sir. :thumbsup:

Matter is only a tiny fraction of "solid matter" space (do we even know if protons/neutrons/electrons are "solid"?), so technically stones are mostly empty. The matter that is there is projecting a force field, which gives the appearance of solidity.

Also, stop touching things, dirty perv.

Could your creepy uncle use this as a defense in court?

What if cars actually move over the surface of the planet by moving the planet? I thought that was mindblowing when I thought of it in gradeschool, for two minutes at least. Then I realized that made no sense because multiple cars are constantly travelling in completely different directions. Still, the idea that anything could be considered relative to anything else was pretty revelatory.

but how can rocks be real if our eyes aren't real?

In a supposed eleven dimensional universe why do our senses appear to only perceive the first four?

Only one way to be sure. I'm gonna need you to try and sneak up on every rock you see and touch it, then prompty yell "it's hard, it's hard!" or "it's soft, it's soft!" after touching it. Repeat until you find a soft one...........................

 

[ImpulsE69]

If you believe hard enough, you can go right through them, but you have to be going very very fast. Mind over matter and all that.

Electrons are fundamental particles not made up of any other as far as we can tell. When we try to split them up no other particles show up. Just photons in the form of heat and light. Protons and neutrons are made up of quarks held together by the strong force which is mediated by gluons.
