Yeah, for me it tends to be all "live-action" (or the mental equivalent), but the scenes are somewhat disjointed, I have trouble connecting them. Extensive dialogue is hard too, because I lose track of where the characters are.ajh93 said:
Sidebar, the new Captcha system is excellent. It's easier to read and it all seems to be actual things on my keyboard. It's even a prettier color.
I can do this too, not really thought it was worth mentioning to people beyond a few questions about how i seem to not give a shit when in planes and everyone else looks like retards trying to equalize the pressure.Hungry Donner said:
related question: do you get tinnitus a bit? (random high-pitched sound in your ear)
Yes, I am right-handed, maybe this really has something to do with that. I couldn't always do that, maybe somewhen an icky spider has bitten me or somethingk-ossuburb said:The funny thing is yours is on your right, mine is on my left. Just out of curiosity, are you right-handed? Because I'm left handed, maybe this has something to do with early development.Lilitu said:Together we could fight crime and evil! Nobody could withstand the double-icky-thumb!
Yup, this...Niflhel said:
False memories are indistinguishable from "real ones".
And no one can call you a liar btw, because no memory is truly 100% reality.
I can do that too. Isn't it just some eye muscle thing?Tim Mazzola said:
I've never thought about it as anything special.
Also, 3 years of age and being a baby are lightyears apart, brain development and memory wise...
I can too, but I never considered it a rare ability. I thought it was something that anyone can do. This is nostril flaring, right? It happens a lot in books when people are angry.Anezay said:
Also in the category of "things I thought everyone else could do", I can rotate both my wrists 540 degrees. The reason why I thought other people could do it was because my entire family can do it and I didn't even realize it was a rare ability until my sister told me about the time her friends saw her do it. Since then, I've been showing it to other people and while I have found a few who can do it too, the majority cannot. Made rigging arms in Maya and Softimage a real pain until I found that out. Feels good when I rotate them to their fullest extent though, like stretching your arms and legs when you're tired.
Mathematically speaking, one does not need to define what the dimensions are. For example, a line of a certain length can be extended in a perpendicular axis by the same length to produce a square. It can be extended into a third axis to make a cube. And it can be extended into a fourth axis (even if you cannot visualize that many dimensions simultaneously) to produce a <a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypercube>Tesseract. You can continue doing this same process as long as you want and it continues to make sense mathematically even if it is all but impossible to effectively visualize.kebab4you said:
One handy way to do this is to simply project the multi-dimensional object onto a 2d surface. It at least offers you something to latch onto with your mind. The other way to visualize this is to consider what the shape looks like as it passes through 3d space. For example, when a cone passes through a 2d plane, at one instant it is a single point and another it is a circle. From a different angle it produces a parabola and another gives us an ellipse.
