The Daily Question is an almost daily quick question to keep in mind and consider during the day. When you are presented a question of deep importance, you use your brain in a different way, a more critical way. When we develop critical thinking we become a more independent, knowledgeable, and diverse person. To start to develop some of these skills, read the Daily Question and keep them in mind.
When I was a child learning algebra I was always curious about a mathematical inconsistent called an imaginary number. Defined by a lower case ‘I’ the imginary number is just that, imaginary. This occurs when you a given or come to the conclusion of a negative square root. However, being the young discoverer I am, I set out to find the value of an imaginary number. Obviously I failed at this task, for I now see the symbol for what it really is, but I have come up with a question regarding this most interesting mathematical definition. Can we define imagination? First off, what is imaginary? I consider something to be imaginary if it is not real, it is mythical made up, or has no current known truth. That being said, can we define something imaginary to the populous? Depending on your religious views you might consider the greatest example of this being a form of greater being in religion. Or perhaps being Christmas was just celebrated, Santa Claus, is he not imaginary? If we live with fables all around us, then is it not proven we can in fact define the most inner thoughts of our conscious and intellect, but the real question is: Can we define them with precision? When you spread an idea is is slightly differed by each observing conscious and thus each branch is different form the root. So is it possible to create an reality where every possible conception is defined by the populous.
