Field of View.

Hello,

Im curious if their are some theories out their concerning how we percieve our surroundings, in our field of view.

We can already go beyond this physical barrier to a certain degree. becuase of other knowledges that tell us what is there, but we cant actually see it.
We all thought of oursleves as mere ants at one point or another. Or heard the idea somewhere.
Its theoriezed or maybe fact...? that say looking throught the hubble is like looking through time.
What if understanding it all, only meant having a giant eye to look through and see whats beyond that threshold, our field of view.

This is interesting and there is much documented on how our perception of the 'physical world' is only of course what our brains interpret all of those electrical signals to mean. Imagine the concept that you are standing next to your friend and looking at an orange car. You can physically describe the shapes and features and this can be verified by your friend but what about the colour?

We can only describe colour by reference to other colours or other objects the same colour - "it is the colour of fire", "it is the colour of the orange fruit" etc but what if what you think of as orange is actually percieved as blue and all your references lead you to believe that it is orange. The car is the colour it is from the wave length of light reflected of it but you and your friend actually percieve it at different colours and you never know the that what you see is different to your friend because despite the difference in perception all of the social references to describe the colour are the same, it is only your perception that differs.

Your comment about the Hubble space telescope is correct in that when it looks at far away objects it is looking at the light given off however long ago it takes to reach the earth from wherever. This, of course, is an example of relativity as relative to your position as an observer the 'past' is actually your present.

You seem to be alluding to something. Would you care to expand your theory?

hey EJ thanks for the reply.

Im just wondering if I shouldnt have put this in space exploration.
After thinking about this yesterday, does it really make sense that we make a big fuss about going to a dusty planet next door?

We have a good idea whats there, Its alot like here. And that is probably where most of the fascination lies.
But back to somthing like Hubble telescope. I'm thinking if we made one much much bigger, we might not need to know whats on that planet next door.
It just seems logical that seeing theose pictures from hubble, space looks alot different. those little dots are much bigger now, they have more shape definition and colors.
Probably alot of telescope users had a laugh here.. I guess all im asking is why havent they made a really big one yet. I dont think we would see more stars...but somthing else.

... something else.

What are you looking for?
