Things that get weird the more you think about them

The way we live today is going to seem "old-fashioned" or archaic to future generations. Kind of how we think of people in the 1800s, or even the 1900s-1950s And if we're talking thousands of years into the future, they're probably going to think of us as cavemen

Anyone else?

Another one: Wage slavery. In a way, people are voluntary slaves.

[quote=zilliro]just the other day i was thinking about the big bang theory and how a superdense mass could expand and explode into all the matter we have today. even if though it was billions of years ago and the probability of it ever happening at all is next to zero, there's still a possibility. because we're all here right now, we know that the big bang did indeed happen, so what if another confluence of circumstances and events created conditions favorable for another big bang to happen again in our very lifetimes? what would it be like to witness or experience it? would the current universe be wiped out by this anomaly in order to facilitate the creation of a new universe? curious.[/quote]

or the so called "big" bang didn't occur because there has always been matter and anti matter present in small quantity in the universe or the big bang was just a very small poof that led into a microscopic universe that then proceeded to expand to what it is today.

@Diesel hahaha, yeah, all the time

edit: Another one: Unless you're already married, or don't plan on ever marrying, the person you're one day going to marry is somewhere out in the world right now. Your paths are going to cross, you're going to fall in love, and go through hardships together. This makes me wonder about the idea of destiny.

@Fradddd: I have that happen all the time. After repeating a word several times, it starts to sound like it isn't even a word. Then I think how weird language is, because it's all a bunch of random combinations of sounds that we agree have certain meanings.

The world as a whole, and how dreams actually occurs. Mostly something about stuffs that people can't fully explain, eventhough they may have a-kind-of explanations

Have you ever tried to think an original thought, and wondered if anyone else in the world has thought of this thought?

Life. People. Everything.

Irony seems to be life's favorite kind of humor, and everything can be related into a paradox.

Existence is wonderfully strange.

@TheDStar

Elaborate pls

edit: Got another one: Everyone of you exists, and leads a complex and intricate life with your own family, friends, and endeavors. That's a little weird to think about for me.
