Mathematics and chaos theory.
I'm not good at either, but they both fascinate me beyond belief. The Mandelbrot set for example. Very cool. Finding order in a seemingly unending swirl of chaos.
On this note, I suggest watching the movie "Pi".

-breathe air after rain (in summer)
-walk in forests with silver trees
-programming cool stuff (not gui-crap)

The question, "Why?"

It can't get any more fascinating than that, for me.

do u see analogis between physical laws and human behavior ? and think about it eveyr day ?

i do not. human behavior is binary, driven by good vs. bad, right vs. wrong; humans polarize (as i do in this posting ). physics is not binary. e.g. you cant determine both impuls and position of an atom exactly.

btw: what me also fascinates: physics.

The fact that my country is being run by a coke head.

I guess I'm fascinated by evolution, the self importance of the human being, capabilities of people, psychology of religion (atheist), people again, language and the universe... thoughts from my average day.

shahar2k -

You're right. I think it's frightening how deep you can go and how close they can come. Some would argue that we ARE just as pedictable and comprehensible as physics. If you are an empiricist or determinist . . . this is easy to believe.

schabe -

The reason you don't like what sharar said is answered by your counterpoint. You believe there is good vs bad, there is right vs wrong . . . when that's all relative. Subjective. There is no science there. If you like physics, you should be playing on the other team - shahar's

I don't know a lot about quantum physics but I do know that our instruments can't and never will be able to detect what's happening at the infinitessimally small level. Hence, you can't prove that something isn't affecting exactly what that atom's position and velocity/accel/etc are.

Fascinated by how high heels make me look everytime I hear them.

How a perfume can make you think of a certain moment in time.

Women in general.

it was an australian or new zeland shepard? im not sure on the name...it was a small to mid-sized dog

the dog liked to herd things, children, birds, lizards, wombats, anything. it started nipping this fairly good sized wombat in the ass trying to herd it to some unknown destination. the wombat made a bunch of pissed of noises, but the dog wouldnt stop. the two got in a fight, we tried seperating them with nothing short of hitting the dog and wombat both with a shovel repeatedly. a couple minutes latter the fight broke up and the wombat ran away down some hole in the ground. we thought it had ended, but then the stupid dog went after the wombat. he went down the hole and never came back out ...alive anyways
my friend dug up his dog, and then went on a hunt for wombat fur. the only thing he managed to kill was one of those cicadda bugs.

that was the first time i had ever seen a wombat outside of a zoo.

Wow man, I get that sometimes, it's not usually the shape that I see but it's like a cube or something like that, it's usually combined with losing my sense of scale and feeling extremely dis-orientated, yeah disturbing is a good way to describe it. Although the casual observer would think I was just watching tv with the same indifferent expression as always.
Yeah, fascinating.

You guys are pretty cool.

I'm impressed by what fascinates each of you.

Nic Cage made a crap movie called City of Angels. He played an angel. The dead had to say what they found best about life.

Sunsets, stormy skies, dogs, e-culture, wombats, turds, hands, eyes etc. all seem like pretty aware responses to me.
