Is our imagination limited?

Question

Think about it for a second. We might think we know everything, but we kind of are our brain, so there might be things outside our imagination. For example, our minds can't comprehend what heaven looks like, and if you try, I bet you will see the same thing on a postcard.

Answer 1

Yes and no. There is a purely biological limit, but we can go beyond it.

Answer 2

Yes would be my answer. We as humans use mainly our sense of sight, so everything we see every day is added to the list of things our brain recognizes. The list is always growing, BUT many things are more familiar than others, so when we're asked to open our imaginations and draw, say, an alien creature from the other side of the universe, it might be part dog, part hippo, part slug-- things that we know substituted for things we do not.
Our brain is also very logical. When it's on a logic rampage we can barely stop it, and THAT certainly limits our imaginations.

Answer 3

Our imaginations are currently only limited by what software technology and hardware technology can be used for someone's newest blue screen creation. So I guess the answer is yes.

Answer 4

i think that our imagination is not limited, but it will be soon. With people continuously discovering things (planets and such) and people creating things (computers, robots, etc) soon we wont be able to imagine anything becuase we'll be creating our own answers.

Answer 5

an exciting question: they say necessity is the mum of invention, possibly the further were surrounded by technique of persons expressing their creativity the a lot less innovative others round you change into, its an outstanding argument for American television.

Answer 6

Good point...the brain can only interpret what our senses feed it.

Answer 7

your question broke my brain

Answer 8
