Consciousness and Mathematics

What makes us different from other species (birds, animals, insects, fish etc)?

Is it the look and feel or the intelligence or the ability to adapt the environment to suite our needs rather than adapting to the environment?

The answer lies in one single word.

10th Planet - UB313

Astronomers discovered the 10th Planet of our Solar System. Neptune was discovered in 1846 and Pluto in 1930. Astronomers named this object UB313 (granted automatically according to the IAU – International Astronomical Union’s naming protocols for minor planets) which is larger than Pluto and has a moon.

Land of Straight Lines and Beginning of Time

The Land of Straight lines.

There is a strange planet called straightnet somewhere in the Andromeda galaxy. So, what is so strange or special about it? The land (planet) is build upon objects with straight lines. Which means the planet is a big rectangular land. They play the soccer with a cubes and rugby with rectangular boxes instead of a spherical objects, their body, trees, roads, animals everything is build using straight lines.

Now, try to ask straight-lander’s the following questions.

1. How do you explain to them about something in spherical shape (soccer ball, volley ball etc)?
2. Can they think about an object which does not have edges?
3. How do you tell them there is a specific shape where you can’t specify the center of the object (on the surface)?
