h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Im increasingly finding myself more and more bewildered, each and every day, by everything. Its as if somethings going on, but Im not sure what it is. Am I alone in this feeling?

You see there my point, Im now bewildered why the title didn't show correctly. It should have read - do you keep saying "is it just me?" or is it really just me? but it missed half of it out.... IS IT JUST ME?

Aah, but is it just you?

Do you find you ask questions and Nobody replies?

That Nobody is a strange one, don't you think?

Anyway, welcome to h2g2 Thomas, I have left you a greeting in your Personal Space which, I hope, will help you find your way around your new home

Now, back to your question. Does Anyone have the answer?

No, Thomas, it's not just you.

Those three questions a day - strikes me you're deliberately overstretching yourself. One is enough. Rather too enough I'd say...

"Is it just me".... well, yes and no...
For as it is, bewildering and confusing to each of us, so to another may that bewildering and confusing be differnt.... ; No two people seem to experience and pass through the visible, perceivable universe, in quiet the same way... So whilst it may all be bewildering and confusing to us, as an indivdual, the same may not be so for another person, as their perception of the same things, are entirely differnt, and are useually unexperianced by us, in the same way hmmm... or not... as the case may be

Thanks Mahatma, I see now, its a question of perception. I see where your coming from. I may have to start working on inventing a 'common perception' machine, or even an app for our phones. Just imagine it, wars could be sorted out so simple just by using the machine, as we'd all see things the same way. No doubt Apple would have to be sold my idea, just so that we could see the 'Iperception' on the market

It poses another question though, would the perceivable universe be a better place if we all understood things in the same way?

Not sure if it'd be 'better'... It might be more understandable, with a common perception TM (IPerception)

hmm.... might be a bit more boring, and unorigional, as effectively everyone would think the same.... actually, that now sounds quite horrible.... (I don't want to think like other people, and most other people probably don't* want to think as I do)

Mind... as it is, it effectively makes each of us, our own 'universe', as our perceptions each are so differnt to each other of the so-called actual* universe, as to make it almost entirely differnt to each person perceiving it... hmm... hang on perception, and perception changing things.... This must end up with that damn cat in the box before long

2legs, I like your thoughts, especially the 'mind-our own universe' idea, as I think your right. Who is to say that the universe is the way that we, or anyone else in fact, is the way that we see it. Mine is currently a universe surround by too loud Radiohead, with too many bank holiday beers, but Im sure that when the wife gets home, she will have a totally different view.

Oh... Exactly

To your Whife, you are the cat in the box.... She'll only create a universe with you back in it, at the poitn when she returns, and observes you in her* universe... Until that point, your in a differnt university... a differnt reality...

My universe or reality seems to have been on a strange time illusion as the last few days seem to have lasted forever I now recall why, when I actually* had a job, I'd always save up a bunch of work to do, over the bank holiday weekend, just to make the time pass quicker
