What is the world made of?

Ok, here is a truly philosophical question, that....i havent thought about in a while... 😑

😱

So what do you all think about it, its hard i think, 'What is the world made of?'

To be honest...i dont relaly have an answer to this. If you say, its made of rocks and mountains and water...well its not really, i didnt ask what the 'Earth' is made from, but whats the world made from.

Then again, if you say its made out of people...well it isnt really made from us, is it. World existed before we did, appearantly.

Is it made out of ideas...well hmm...i dont think so, again, the world existed befre any ideas have...

Its interesting, since there isnt really an answer 😄

So what are your thoughts?

I like the idea that the world, at least our world, is just made of imagination and interpretation.
The world already existed before there was anyone who could have had any imagination, but it wasn't really a world then... it was the possibility of a world. The word "world" somehow implies subjectivity and the own point of view, that's what makes the difference from "earth". Earth is more general, earth is made of materia, earth is impersonal, earth could be any planet, any space-filling object.

Liquid hot....

*does quotation thing with hands*

Magma!

😆 ^agrees with 'Dr. Evil'

Oh dear, Link, use your brain cells, alright you have an excellent imagination and sense of humour, but come on baby, make me proud 😛

I personally think the world is made up of individual concepts and interpretation (Nice word Cynethryth) from the viewpoint of each individual. The way in which every single person percieves the world, and proceeds to state their viewpoint, makes up the world we all know.

I suppose the "soul" of the world is its history. The physical material it is made of plus its history--from the beginning of life to the various mass extinctions and every thing else in between--make the world.

So, what did you identify as 'world'?

I just told you--the world is the physical Earth taken together with the only thing that makes the Earth truely unique--it's past ("Water"...yadda yadda..."intelligent life"...that all could exist elsewhere). It could possibly be said that world is to Earth as home is to house, although I probably shouldn't, since your definition of "home" might not match mine.

The world, is just another name for a celestial body like a planet

I always have consider the world to be made out of two things: Solid visible objects and the ideas which shape our lives. Is not easy to explain but I think that our world has too many ideas. Of course as long as ideas help humanity is a good thing. As for the physical world, I guess that doesn't change much. Maybe the objects that we experience in our lives determine our thinking? Does it come down to the studies of Logic and Physics? Is really hard to pin point one or the other.

I think the world is made out of ideas, without ideas the world would be an undefinable weird place

Protons, Electrons and Neutrons? 😑

but i was watching this "documentary" 🙄a couple of days ago and this little mouse broke into song and started telling everyone "there are no cats in America, and the streets are made of cheese"

It was beautiful...and very philosophical ✅

here you can see what cheese is made of!

Ok, ok ok, you guys!! You are all so great, and Gregory, thanks for your deffinition, i understood you.

I however, didnt ask what World IS but what is it made of. Note the differance.

as said before the world is made of ideas 😄

Or of the interpretations of ideas 😉
