Weird Thought
Okay, well i was just watching Deja Vu, and in the movie a guy said "In a sence, we're always looking in the past, because it takes time for light to reach the eye." Well i wanted to know, what kind of science studies that kind of thought? sorry if that sounds confusing. I also wanted to know;; if you have any other cool kind of statements that make you think like that? that make you say "hmm. never thought of that" haha, just a random questionn i had to ask. thanks for any advice about thisss!

The science of light is physics.
The science of what happens once that light hits the eye is shared by biology, specifically optometry and optics, and more importantly in my view, neurology, the study of how the brain works.
The idea that because light takes time to reach the eye we always looking at the past, although a scientific and true statement, is really discussing more the philosophy of perception then it is discussing objective reality. At least that is my opinion on that statement.
To read some interesting things about how the brain works and the how we perceive things pick up Blink! by Malcolm Gladwell. It’s a popular book you should be able to get at any bookstore about the workings of our unconscious mind. If you want something more scientific, but also intriguing, pick up Descartes Error, which addresses how emotions exist in our brain and touches on some of the philosophy of them.

Im not sure about that sort of science, but Im wayy psyched for psychology club at my school. And that is saying A LOT! I will do my best to get out of absolutely any activities requiring time at school before and/or after school hours. It just seems awkward any time else.
But Im soo interested in dreaming. Why do we do it? How do we do it? Etc, etc.
But have you ever tried to think about how small we reallly are? Compared to the world, our galaxy, the whole universe. Were practically microscopic against what sort of things are out there.
And what sort of stuff IS out there? Where does it end? or is it like a cartoon with a backdrop that just runs on into itself?
Black holes. What IS a worm hole? Is there a difference?
Dimensions. Eighth dimension, or whatever. How would that work.
This may not be right down your lane but its the best I could do. Cut me some slack :]
