Do incomprehensible ideas/concepts exist in humans?

Do you think that there are concepts out there that humans cannot understand no matter how hard they try? A good example would be a fourth (fifth, sixth, etc) dimension. They may exist, they may not, but if they do then humans are only capable of understanding them mathematically, not visually. I would think of more examples but my creativity box seems to be pretty empty right now. But yeah, do you think that it's possible for any idea or concept to be incomprehendible to humans?

  • Nothing. Try to consider nothing. If you describe it, it is something.

      • God. The idea of God is that he (it) exists outside of what we call logic. Which is why he can't be proven, because what evidence of him there is, is beyond our scope of understanding. It's like a contradiction, but still valid. Which is a contradiction to us but to it, it's not. The "Man floating in the clouds" is how many ignorant assholes try and trash talk the belief. (and then there are those who actually believe in a floating cloud man). If God exists or not is a different discussion.

      • No. Otherwise by definition, they're no longer incomprehensible...

        • Something that has always existed. Such as no beginning, because our minds are constrained by time, so we cannot possibly fathom something that was not created at some point.

        • The idea that the universe forms a collective heightened consciousness as a result of the clockwork mechanisms giving life to it from many, many different levels. Not the idea, but the consciousness itself as a whole would be so vast that no Human or anything alive at our level could ever hope to make contact with it, let alone understand it, because, it simply [i]is.[/i]
