D1SC0RD 987 June 11, 2012 Share June 11, 2012 What is it that amazes you and makes you curious? For me, it is our brain. If you think about it, we are walking, talking bodies made of meat, and our brain is made of meat too. What makes me wonder is how that lump of meat in our skull developed a consciousness. How does such a material store memories, information, remember faces, feel emotion and control other pieces of meat that make up our bodies? Dunno, just makes me wonder. Do you guys find anything to be captivating and mysterious at the same time, or am I alone on this one? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isobel 279 June 11, 2012 Share June 11, 2012 Dreams I lucid dream, and it made me aware of the powers it can do. You can ask your subconcious deep questions and get a true answer! Dreams are pretty amazing, and that's why I love lucid dreams so much! Btw lucid dreaming is self aware dreaming 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aureity 3,055 June 11, 2012 Share June 11, 2012 Everything that science can't explain makes me wonder. Sentience. The meaning of life (inb4 some1 says 42). The entire universe. It's all so wonderful to think about! A lil' Catherine <(^.^)> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiteshade 1,426 June 11, 2012 Share June 11, 2012 That shuffling discord in the sig piques my curiosity and simultaneously amazes me. I have low standards... Seriously though, it has to be yours truly. I both admire and fear myself, I work for and against myself, I serve and sabotage myself. Also I perceive the same thing in others, and the favorable side can be provoked with certain conditions. The act of said provocation is known as propaganda. 1 Warning: Signature may cause seizures, owner will sue you if you complain Nothing happens, yet everything changes.

Random User 249 June 11, 2012 Share June 11, 2012 Lucid dreaming is high on my list, as well. But one thing that gets me wondering is what the afterlife will be like. Will there be a sort of place for good souls and bad souls? Will we all just sit in limbo? Maybe we all become ghosts. Maybe nothing will even happen after death. This is a reason I do not wish for others to mourn me when I pass, for I will find out the answer to a question I've been wondering me entire life! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abstract 832 June 11, 2012 Share June 11, 2012 Besides the obvious stuff (Life, human nature, the universe, etc. Who isn't fascinated by these?) Plants are an insane curiosity of mine. I suppose I have a bit of trouble grasping the concept of something being alive, and not having brains or nervous systems or instincts, things like that. But beyond that, the millions upon millions of different species and where they thrive, how they interact with their ecosystems, their lifespan, colors, peculiarities, blooming patterns - the list is endless. It's all so incredibly beautiful and wondrous, it almost seems like a fairy tale to me that plants exist. 1 "Let the steel of my resolve be not bested by the sum of my fears."

Lady Rarity Pony 4,892 June 11, 2012 Share June 11, 2012 Yes. There are some things I'm always wondering about. How did the universe come about? How does our brain have a consciousness? How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop? Really interesting stuff. 1 LRP's opinions are subject to change without notice. Fees and penalties still apply.

Random User 249 June 11, 2012 Share June 11, 2012 Something I'd like to add right quick. I often wonder if there even was a beginning to existence, or if existence just always has been. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest June 11, 2012 Share June 11, 2012 (edited) VY Canis Majoris (the largest known star).

Blackcat 205 June 11, 2012 Share June 11, 2012 (edited) I cannot fathom my own non-existance, and I'm pretty sure you all can't either. I don't mean just imagining the world if you were never born. No, I mean percieving the complete, and proper absense of your own self. The very fact that you exist stops you from ever reaching this. You can perhaps argue that sleep or unconciousness is the answer here, but considering that your brain is quite active while you are asleep, and the existance of dreams makes me argue against that. I find that very very...wonder-inducing.

Sometimes I end up staring deeply into the fabric of carpet or the wood of a pencil, and just marvel at the complexity of it. How finely detailed the entire world is is, honestly, absolutely insane. And then it gets even more intense when you consider that each of those intricately detailed items consists of molecules, which are in turn made up of atoms, which in turn contain subatomic particles. The same applies to us humans, who are even more insanely intricate. Life is an amazing thing, when you really think about it.
