Thought Experiment

A thought experiment is a hypothetical scenario created to explore ideas, principles, or theories without the need for physical experimentation. It allows individuals to examine the implications of an idea in a logical way. For example, envisioning what would happen if everyone could fly helps us think about freedom, society, and physics. Thought experiments are commonly used in philosophy, science, and ethics to stimulate discussion and deepen understanding of complex concepts, offering insight into how things might work or be understood in different situations.
