http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0898367/ So in this film a few guys are missing thumbs and no-one really knows why. I was wondering what you good people thought it could be? I was thinking maybe they cut them off to get out of handcuffs......:confused...

Exactly what kind of nuclear warhead does she have?

I'm quite like you in the sense that I like to "teach" the new things I've learned and people would be a bit like "oh, here we go." I also have experienced the occasional loss of the thirst for knowledge and I didn't like it. A good tip is to imagine your learning things with the intent to...

Tell me, when you research something and you get that feeling, how are you doing your research? Edit- I mean in what way are you researching things, generally?

Yea so back to my original point. I was really just wondering what details we miss due to our perception of time, whether that be due to too much detail or not enough detail.

Yea defo time to stop derailing! Thankyou doctor!

Too funny!

I now realise I stated that like fact when I should have stated it like an idea ("are we in agreement.......")

So is the article saying their perception of time is no different from ours in your opinion?

basegroove..........what is fallicious? I'm kidding, point taken. but trust me, my logic is not crap, its my ability to make you understand my logic that is crap!

No basegroove I will not abandon my last point, Ive more modified it in my eyes. I thought the way a cricket "heard" it was irrelevant really, what was relevant was that I think they hear it slower than us, be that with little hairs on their body that pick up vibrations or whatever, they might...

Yea without actually being a cricket for a day I can not be certain. Its very interesting to think about non vocal communication in this way. I shall do some research! I'am a he.

Ok, that was inductive generalization I suppose. But the way they "perceive" the sound, whether it be through ears or other means, might still be a slower version when compared to ours.

Yea I think the difference would be very slight, but still there.

Apologies for the inconvenience!

And basegroove, whether I'm looking at this from a human perspective or not, the cricket may still experience time differently from me, as the study suggests so why wouldn't he hear the chirp slower than I would?

Now basegroove, explain to me the point of me being on this forum to talk to people about their opinions on things if I'm just going to google everything I do not understand?

Its not entirely hypothetical, look at my earlier link. What is "inductive generilization and anthropomorphism" in lay mans terms please?

Why not? If small creatures experience a sort of slow motion time, compared to us, then they would hear the chirps slower. Have I got this wrong?

Just so were clear, are we all in agreement that the cricket hears the other crickets not as a chirp but as we do when we hear it slowed down? That is amazing because it means all small creatures do hear each others noises slower than we do.

Thankyou Doctor! :)

Quick question guys, you all have these quotes at the end of each message, I have one I want to use. Are you inserting it manually every time? surely not?

Normanthedoorman, yes, I do think of time as being very much subjective. I think it would be incorrect to even say that our perception of an hour remains constant throughout our own lives.

@Helvette I have been thinking about it more and I realise I'am wrong. However here is the link as promised: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXrucDX-_LA

Check this out guys! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-24078179

That cricket thing is amazing. Just shows you what we miss due to the speed of time.

Well, if you flew by me at say 80% the speed of light, relative to me, I would observe more detail in your reference frame, thus missing your bigger picture and you would see my bigger picture, so to speak. You would miss the finer details of my reference frame. Edit: do you mean small things...

Sorry Helvette, I got posts mixed up a bit because it took me so long to write a reply, what your saying makes sense. I havent really been thinking about this from other peoples perspective, more just my own. I still think maybe the people who find themselves over anyltical could benefit from...

Ok, so the rate of time is not constant throughout the universe, it changes depending on a number of influences. Its got me thinking. Have you ever seen one of those slow motion videos of like a water balloon bursting or a slinky dropping or whatever? It shows that when you slow down time...

Yea, you guys are both right, I do need to look at other peoples perspective more. Pyro that sounds awfull, i hope I dont get like that.

Actually helvete, what I said didnt really make sense, what I mean is, if the people who feel frustrated by their over analytical ways could step into my mind, they might see that their missing out. I refer only to the frustrated Intps. Im posting on my phone atm but tommorow when I'm on my pc...

Hi helvette and thankyou! I guess I could possibly think differently if I was a different type, maybe an en or something but I'm glad I'm not. With regards to us missing out on what they dont miss, thats a good point but I feel like their missing out and I'm totally not. Maybe thats the intp...

Excellent advice bigapplepi thankyou! Is my last post classed as diverging?

Thanks pyropyro This might seem silly but do you guys like our personality type? I've been looking into it a bit recently and a lot of people seem to be almost frustrated by their "overly analytical" thought patterns. I didnt even know there was such a thing as OVER analysing. I love...

@base groove and lot. Thankyoufor the warm welcome guys. Your advice is appreciated. :)

Hi all, totally new to this site and forums in general and to knowing intp was a thing. I always thought I was just a bit "off!" Anyway I just want to introduce myself, invite people to introduce themselves and maybe give me some foruming tips!
