We don't need other worlds we need mirrors - Stanis?aw Lem, Solaris
Some of the ideas I have are:
> Questions about the source of our brilliant ideas
If say we discover something, or we hear the discovery of someone else, we might be in awe by our own capacity or by the capacity of other scientists, and we'll think about the scientific method and of the cognitive science behind discovery which will provide more fascination into this phenomenon
> Questions about the abstract nature of some phenomenon
By trying to understand what reality actually is, we might try to imagine how else reality could have been: maybe with other laws of physics, or perhaps creatures that live in other planets, and when we achieve some abstract synthesis we feel awe for it.
What do you think? What else do you propose?
