How does one explain seeing something completely new and different to anyone else? If we could explore another world where there were more colours, more senses, more well everything. How could we explain this to anyone when we came back? How do you explain a new colour with out relating to an already present colour? How do you talk about a world that is more than three dimensions? The answer is with great difficulty. We only know what our world has shown us. We find it very hard to relate to things we do not already know.
Let me give an example. A teacher is teaching a new system to a group of students. The teacher knows that the students have never used the system before and know nothing about it. The teacher will use lots of relations to already present knowledge the students know. The students know when they want something to happen something needs to be started, so the teacher would say to start the system we would do this. With out the knowledge of starting how would this be done? For this we can relate to pre school teaching. A teacher will teach the children about colours and words by breaking it up into very small parts such as showing cards with different colours and letters on them. This very basic teaching may or may not be needed to learn about something completely new.
We know the colour green is blue and yellow mixed together. A colour that does not exist in our reality may require additional colours. We only know the colours and how the colours are seen to use. If the lighting is different the colours are different. We know green is green because when we was young we was shown something that looked like it was green and we remembered its name. We do not know if everyone’s visual perception of the colour is the same. What if an extra colour was introduced into this new world that one could visit? How could someone explain it? One might ask if the colour like red or green. Well no because it is a completely new colour.
Science may say this is impossible to have an extra colour because it is all to do with wavelengths and such. We need to remind ourselves science is all guess work that has been proven to be true more than once. Science is making excuses to how stuff happened and that is all very well but it is not telling us the big answers we want to know like why are we here? Let us leave science to another post and get off of colour as well. Say you went to another world and this world was made out of what looked like crayons. The entire world is made out of little strips that colours that look like crayons. Trees are made out of tree scales that look like fish scales. The floor is solid and something out of a cartoon. How do you explain someone that world with out sounding mad? Also see how I have related to crayons and fish scales what if I could not see anything to relate it to.
