Joetorp Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Like "what if"? It would be difficult for man to be creative (dream) and come up with solutions for life's problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlatkozelka Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 there would be no....NOTHING, humans wouldn't have invented anything or evolve in any way . for example : Albert Einstein decided to ask himself "what if someone shoots light out while moving at 90% speed of light , will he shoot faster light ? " this question lead to some of the worlds hardest theories and greatest inventions (nuclear bombs and generators.....) so, no hypothetical questions = no creativity and no evolution < = >animals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillieJoe67 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Why ask people rhetorical questions? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joetorp Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Why ask people rhetorical questions? To consider whether or not they could be put to practice . Without the ability to wonder, think of where society would be. When JFK proposed (May,1961) we go to the moon by the end if the decade, it was already a theoretical question (whether we could make it or not). The result (one of many), is, smartphones (miniaturized electronics). Joe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StJohn Gumby Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Without the ability to think in the abstract humans would still be living in swamps and wiping their asses on oak leaves. Humans are the only sentient creatures in the known universe. The only thing that sets us apart from all other forms of life is our ability to think in the abstract. Without this ability humans would not have evolved beyond the level of swamp dwelling trolls. Although some days the Shoutbox tends to contradict the above statements.
