Most people can remember little from before the age of 3, but do "photographic" memories start earlier? And are the earliest photographic memories retained fully formed, unlike fragmented normal memories? Help Laex find an answer. 

Flies are not known for having long memories, which could be why they seem never to tire of flying into windows. Ben12!? would like to know why they don't appear to do themselves any damage when they do this at high speed.

Most memories fade or get corrupted over time, but our sense of time passing is highly variable and little understood. jamie534 is interested in whether the way we measure time affects the way we perceive its passing.

Our brazen attempt to make memory and time the theme of the week runs into the sand with the next question – though there is a never-ending quality to housework: Alexa’s father insists it's harder to wash up in cold water, but she reckons the temperature of the water makes no difference. So which of them is right?.

Finally, remember when you used to write things on paper? Have you ever wondered whether the direction of a writing script indicates the "handedness" of those who invented it? Help grannybuttons answer this intriguing question.

Here in Canada, many children grow up in bilingual households. How do their developing brains learn to understand that while 'Hello' and 'Bonjour' mean the same thing, they can only be used within another set of words? Is this a problem? Are there 4 year-olds speaking with a mix of 2 different vocabularies?

Is time something more than just the way we explain that any movement occurred before or after another? nothing can happen at exactly the same moment so could time just be the order of everything? is it just a product of language that time cannot be explained, since the only way we can describe a progression of events is with vocabulary which is intrinsically linked to time? Would be great if someone has something real to say on this :D

Words that rhyme are special. They help us remember stories, and they make songs more interesting (or annoying). Is our recognition of rhyme independent of language? Or, are there some languages where rhyming isn’t used?

I understand that a dog is not capable of producing the sounds required to converse in a human language. However, would it be possible to develop a language made up of sounds that both a human and a dog could produce so that they may "converse" on some level?

I was sitting outside today and couldn't help overhearing two species of birds singing back to each other. I could tell that they were different species (one was a Tui) but they seemed like they were having a loud conversation across my yard.

It got me thinking... Is a certain animal species able to speak/sing to other species of animals which aren't the same as it?

Does anyone have an answer to end my wondering?

Thanks

Liam :)
