@Summit --
"we dont posses the sensory equipment" - that we know of yet maybe.!?
You're saying that there's another organ(or set of organs) that perform a function in our bodies that we don't know about yet? That's a tall tail, care to back it up or is your only argument "but it could be"? I have to tell you, that's a pretty lousy argument all things considered.
there is no evidence that i am right...
Whoops, should have stopped the sentence right there because that's all you need to say to understand why I rejected your explanation. That, and the fact that we actually do have several reasons to think that you're wrong. I and others have given you very sound biological reasons as to why you're wrong. Our sense organs simply aren't capable of detecting anything on that scale, and there's no way it could evolve naturally because such sense organs would be detrimental, not beneficial. Thus there's no path for natural selection to work with, thus no way for such organs to evolve.
Artificial selection could hypothetically produce such organs, but that would take hundreds generations of work and since we only really became aware of that possibility in the last century or so it's not exactly a likely possibility.
i think that is not the point.
Really? I thought the point of science was to gain knowledge, that is what it's for. Science is a method for acquiring knowledge about the world, given that I think that something being right is of supreme importance. It's certainly more important than whether you like it or not.
i think its not about being right or wrong its about finding out why and how and simply sharing the experience we had.
Well then you thought wrong.
so your "big and small" experience was brought on by trauma? sorry to hear that. despite the traumatic part was it similar to most of our shared "big/small" experiences?
Yeah well, I've been through more than my fair share of trauma in my life. That trauma was nothing compared to the time I got stabbed, that was fun.
The experience seemed similar to your description in most regards, but that still doesn't support your hypothesis.
my experience was real - therefore it was my reality. you may have your own reality, that is ok with me. defining reality - have at it!
Oh please, stop with the armchair philosophy crap. We all use a relatively similar working definition of reality, some of us are just more aware of what actually physically happens during some experiences.
