Is imagination limitless? I think not?

Question

This is one question that I know that I cannot get a definitive answer to but how far can you stretch your imagination?
What was before the begining? Before the big bang, before all that empty space? If your answer is nothing then define nothing. A blank space I think apart from the jokers

Answer 1

I always think about things like that and it ends up hurting my brain. @_@

Answer 2

our imagination is taking what we have experienced and manipulating it into what we want it to be. if we knew nothing of colours and the mysteries of magic, then would it be possible to create a magical cdreature that is the colour of the rainbow. if you were blind would you beable to imagine the world as those who can see it. imagination is effected by society and what we know, experience, learn, want or wish for.
its like trying to figure out were space came from because as we have become custome to wanting to frind out the origins to everything because we believe everything has begining. somepoepl who are the introvert thinkers can dwell on such a topic because they can read their inner thoughts and consious better then those who are ego driven. If ones imagintion is limited to just how creative they are, then why is it that a non artistic person can imagine in logical froms where an artistic person can imagine in other perspectives and thus gaining a variety of opinions. Imaginatiuon can not be generalized to a universal idea. since all imaginations are different and some more complex than others.
you can stretch your imagination as long as you want it o go, as long as you push it. but we base most of our imaginations of what we already know.. so unless you leanrn more then you can not imagine more than what you know, anything beyond that is assumptions and ideas... true all created by imagination.. but imagination is a mix of uncounsious and consious thoughts memories and emotions.. without these, imagination is limited to nothing more than a text book.

Answer 3

I like this question. As a poet, beginnings and ends don't exist. I stretch my imagination beyond any logic, beyond 'Scientific Fact',or what is generally believed to be true. I look up at the stars and see my own universe, and then see beyond. And that's just mine, everybody else has theirs. No doubt, someday, we will lose our ability to imagin, when that time comes, the universe will shrink to the size of a computer screen. But there again, what a space to allow your imagination to revive..

The trouble with facts are,they are always changing...

Answer 4

I too believe that imagination is limited..... it is built on our experiences..... just like if you have several pieces, you can place them together in various permutations and combinations to get many many different shapes and sizes.... imagination can not create anything absolutely new that in some part or other has never been experienced. This is why we can not imagine the first cause that was not caused or nothingness that is not empty space etc. etc...... these are beyond our experiential capabilities and hence we can not imagine them either. Abstracts like Maths can indeed stretch our imagination to quite an extent just like a flexible piece in the jigsaw can produce multiple answers... but that still does not make it infinitely capable or stretchable.

Answer 5

A picture is worth a thousand words. An experience is worth a thousand pictures. The more 'real' something seems to us, the more empathy we have for it. Likewise, when we are trying to consider a matter of which we know little, we find it hard to summon much enthusiasm. If there is no photograph or drawing and just some vague description, we simply turn our attention towards something more interesting. large and small are all, ultimately, about communication. If you now need someone to understand something, draw them a picture or better still, give them an experience they can relate to.
ooooooooo

Answer 6

Of course the imagination as of now is limited, but the cpacity of the brain/humans to evolve is not. As of right now we are limited according to our current brain capcities/understanding of that capacity, but as we grow as a species I believe that all things will become possible, and it is within reason that our brain/we will evolve is such a way that we are limitless(read Nietzsche).
As for what was their before the beginning, the best answer I can give is the uncaused cause(read Aristotle) which created from an infinitesimal point of matter.
Having said all of that their really isn't any answer, according to our understanding of things as of now, but it is fun to think about. On second thought it gives me a headache before work.
Good Luck

Answer 7

Yes! Imagination is limitless! Each and every person in this world has a different imagination, and when put to work can produce 1000000's of different thoughts! Think about it , when we try to imagine thing, we come up with hundreds of different concepts and ideas, and most of them sound so bizzare! i reckon if we really concentrated and tried, we could stretch our imaginations to outta this planet..

Answer 8

When some people say that they want an easy life, they actually mean it. When you profess such an aspiration, you are fibbing! Think, for a moment, about your lifestyle; the world you have created for yourself, the people you have chosen to populate it with, the challenges you have taken on, the responsibilities you have accepted, the dramas you have allowed yourself to become embroiled in. Really. An easy life? What you actually want is an 'easier' life.

Answer 9

The limits of the imagination are only those of the thing doing the imagining.

Most of us use brains which do not exist permanently, are prone to error, not of unlimited capacity or speed, and are frequently disinclined to consider various things either through habit or conscious choice.

To pretend that these limits do not exist or that they do not affect your imagination is a good example of the kinds of blind spots imagination itself often possesses. So it goes.

Answer 10

Time is infinite and always will be.What happened before the Big Bang no-one really knows, all memory of that time is lost, everything from that time is forgotten. It was a period of such catastrophic instability that is just doesn't remember what came before it and we'll probably never find out as there just isn't any information let over from it. It has beautiful elements of ultimate mystery.

Hope this helps and have a nice day.

Answer 11

There was no "before" the big bang. Time started at the beginning. Nothing is the absence of something...The total absence of all things, including time.
It is impossible to understand, as our understanding requires some "thing" to...understand.
And that's about that, I'm afraid.
