To an ant the sky is above a flower, to humans the sky is where mountains and skyscrapers touch. So is the sky a perception relative to each person, is it therefore the same as the reality we experience. For example, Brussels sprouts must taste the same and yet some people love them and some hate them ?! |

Anyone who doesn't like sprouts is weird!
The sky starts where the land or the sea, or anything on them, ends, regardless of the sea level. Everyone will agree where the sky starts from any particular position. But there are some odd sods who don't agree that sprouts are yummy. |

Just to clarify, this is not a thread about brussel sprouts, it’s more about our perception of things in relation to where the sky starts. I was merely using Brussel sprouts as an example, of how people experience the same thing differently. I repeat this is not a thread about Brussel sprouts. Over. |

I hate carrot cake, I asked for Black Forest gateau, that’s got cherries on it. And a strawberry daiquiri. That’s two of my five a day sorted |

"Aeroplanes are flying before their wheels leave the ground. Aeroplanes fly in the sky, therefore the sky starts at ground level, and I like sprouts. "
Does that mean that small children that whizz about with their arms straight out to the side shouting 'Im flying, Im flying' really are then. |

Of course it does. It's physics and sciencey stuff innit.
Where's Brian Cox when you need him? He'll probably explain it better than I did. |

The sky doesn't exist! What we perceive as sky is light bouncing about on gaseous assorted air molecules, therefore the perceived sky starts where air starts which is around 2 to 4" under ground  |

Ooooh I like this question
The sky is the air around you... if you’re horizintal on your towel on the beach it’s vertical to you and hopefully blue...
If you’re on a mountain side carving down a slope it’s heavy in the air around you but could span for as far as you can see...
Great question... where does it start? |

"Everyone’s perception is slightly different because we are all centres of our universes.
There’s a universe inside and a universe outside us. "
I think my inner universe may turn out to be a black hole.... |
