To put it in a conventional way, a photograph may be similar to a word.
But it is not. Maybe they are like colors.
For example, there was a movie in which an extraterrestrial came from outer space
and taught a linguist their language, and the linguist was able to understand the
future. This is not precognition. Extraterrestrials analyze phenomena by connecting
the start and the goal with virtual pathways across space-time. In general, these
virtual pathways are innumerable and lead to paths that obey the laws of physics,
but in their language, they are self-evident.
However, this is a special ability of extraterrestrials, so to speak, and humans do
not have this special ability. So even if the linguist could understand the future, she
would not know the location of the scene she understood.
It seems to me that photography is the new language. However, we do not know
where on the virtual path the scene is. But they are concepts that must exist. And
humans have feelings. In this beautiful nature in which we live, even if the
population grows more and more, even if there is a severe selection process and
we can no longer live here, we will probably still want to live.
