And that is being alone. No stimulus whatsoever

[–] Jiggle_Physics 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

No, it isn't. You have not experience no stimulus what-so-ever, no living person has. Being alone is living without other people in your life. No one has experienced anything, even slightly comparable, to floating aimlessly through space, for a literal eternity.

How is that not being alone? Corner logic eludes me

[–] Jiggle_Physics 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I said it's not just being alone. It is more than being alone, being alone is only part of it.

[–] Sam_Bass 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Then what is the other parts?

[–] Jiggle_Physics 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Being alone is being without other people. This is also being without physics. The universe would be expanding away from your location faster than the speed of light. There are just a lot of things to consider that go far beyond simply being alone.

[–] Sam_Bass 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Ok thank you for explaing a little deeper. Im still not convinced because to me the absence of environment is still being alone. For the simple reason that you are able to think and perceive the absense that means you exist. And since you exist in nothing, you.are.alone.

[–] Jiggle_Physics 2 points 8 months ago

Yes, I am not saying you aren't alone, I am saying this goes way beyond just being alone.

There is a room they made to be as sensory free as possible. Walls with sound absorption cones and pitch black, that sort of thing.

The longest someone could bare it was 45 minutes.

And they could still hear their blood rushing inside their ear and their heartbeat. Here that wouldn't even be a thing.

No stimulus makes you go insane.

I would love to give that a go
