NewScientist The Last Word

Answers

Are we all blind? Last week, I helped a blind guy cross the road and while we were crossing the road I asked him if blind people can hallucinate and have dreams. He said "Of course we can". I researched this and it turns out that blind people can in fact hallucinate. This got me thinking. I was wondering if it is possible that we are all blind and we are all hallucinating the same things?

Reply	Famzy says: Its very movie-like to be like that, but its possible that a strong alien force or whatever is controlling us and making us hallucinate the same thing. However, I'm sticking to the fact that we're actually "living" our live. (no votes) Tags: animals, domesticscience, human, blind, interesting.
