5 senses. Sight, smell, touch, hearing and taste. Let's go with the commonly accepted idea of a possible 6th sense being telepathy/clairvoyance.
Try to imagine a 7th sense. What could be happening around us that we just can't observe for lack of the proper sensory perception?
This is a very interesting question and one that could only be theorized upon. I'll take my best shot and say the following as possible seventh senses:
Theory #1: What if maybe there are more levels to senses? By that I mean you can increase your eyesight to see in the dark, infared, ultraviolet, and even the germs on your hand. And then for hearing, what if it's possible to use sonar? For taste, maybe you could taste particles, like each individual bacteria that hits your tongue or is already on there. For feel, how about you feel EVERYTHING? Like you can feel the blood vessels constrict when you have a headache, you can feel your heartbeat, you can feel the muscles tightening inside you're eye every time you blink. All in all what if it's possible that the seventh sense is an unlocking mechanism that can improve on the old senses. If you think about it, there were only thought to be 3 states of matter, but plasma and the Bose-Einstein condensate were recently added to list. According to my science teacher I heard her call plasma a gas taken to the next level. Thus, similar to gas, who's to say that maybe our senses can't be improved upon?
Theory #2: This one might be a bit philosophical but what it it's the ability to see beyond the curtain of reality? I mean who's to say that you're real or I'm real? What if our senses are simply limiters that hinder our ability to push further into reality and see what is fiction and what is not. What if nothing is real? What if maybe the seventh sense is a type of blankness, not really perception or feeling, but like all of them rolled together into one ball of sense that allows us to process the world in a different way that shows us what it truly. I can't really explain it better than this; essentially it is a combination of all the other senses that ultimately allow us to view "reality" for what it is and isn't.
Here's a video that a video that might help prove my point further on theory two, it talks about cuils, a unit of measurement to tell you how far away you are from reality. It may just be a joke, I think it's quite funny actually. However, it could be a possible seventh sense put into practice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=nfdEdE96En0
Theory #3: This one may be a long shot as well, but here it goes. Since people who can communicate with the dead are thought to have a "sixth sense" then what if it's possible that the seventh sense would give one the ability to communicate and even comprehend God? I mean talking to god seems like the next logical step further from communicating with those who have left this earthly realm. So why not have the final step closer be the ability to perceive the all-mighty and understand his eminence.
After sight, smell, touch, hearing, taste and ESP, there is plodgit. But describing plodgit to you would be like describing the smell of a rose to someone with congenital anosmia.
I'll try, though. The plodgit of ham is very like geese, almost surpitry. To contrast that, so you know what I mean, the plodgit of paint is more like toothache in its pavonescence.
This is what it's like to not have a sense of a sense.
I don't really understand the question. All you listed was food? I know for a fact that humans do not have a perfect view of colors. There is actually some sea creatures that see better than people. So they are getting an entirely different range of colors. So perhaps we would notice that. I don't understand how you believe dancing food is around us.
That's actually a really good guess on the first and second one. I like the idea of magnetic sense, like knowing where you are on the earth. But if you think about it'd be scary, cause then you'd probably have a better view of how miniscule you are and how big the earth is, and even then how miniscule the earth is in the entire scheme of things.
Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suit on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourselves. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin' else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?
True. But what is truth? What do we know? We might know everything. Or nothing. Or something in between. What is knowledge? If I know something but can't communicate it, does it count as knowledge? Are you even real? Cogito ergo sum. Or not. Everything I just said is a lie. Except that. But if my life is a lie then can I really lie if I am just a fiction myself? Recognizing my ability to lie makes me more real. No. Wait. What if I only think I can lie but the truth is that I can only say what "they" told me to say? If nothing is real then there can be no lies. Or...wait...there can be no truth. It is what it is. But what is it?
