Scientists think that other universes have different laws of nature. But Equestria has to be in a closer galaxy or solar system. Because ponies exist in our world too. Well, earth ponies at least. But i still belive in unicorns and pegasi, so i always think, "if unicorn and pegasi have their own planet(s), where would it be and what would it be called?" But now i know, it could be called Equestria! And the ponies there could be the intelligent life, WAY smarter than ponies in our world. Also, Luna's banishment was based of of an old folk tale called "The rabbit in the moon"

But how would it be on our moon? Wouldn't Equestria be WAY farther away?

Hybrid Dimension that doesn’t mean equestria takes place here on earth but it also does start a new theory! Since we have continental drift and we share the same moon what if when there was Pangea in the map universe continental drift drifted the continents in differnt spots! I think Antarctica drifted were north and South America are while they converged and drifted to were Africa is! Africa drifted over to Australia and Australia went to Asia! Europe and Australia eventually converged forming the equestrian world!!! Antarctica being equestria!

You could also argue that you can see a rabbit in the moon too....

I wish for that to be true. But the storyline. Is. Made. Up. By. Hasbro. Unless the boss of Hasbro somehow found Equestria and made a cartoon based of what happened when he was in Equestria, there is no possibility that it is real because it was the characters were designed by hasbro, animated by hasbro and the storyline was made up by hasbro, I know right? I have basically crushed everyone's dreams

Craters on the moon caused by meteors because the moon doesn't have a good atmosphere, so that allows the meteors to crash into its surface, causing large holes and craters that sometimes look like different shapes based on the light reflecting off the sun.

I'm sorry if my fact was too long or confusing/difficult but it's just pointed the fact that Equestria Is real. I like horror movies too I mean I used to be scared of one but after watching it like 5 times over and over I can deal with it and I guess I do watch some horror movies back then but I don't watch some now I guess I've gotten a lot busier. I know I sound like I've lost my mind and stuff (Lol) but my wish is to when I die and following my religion (Jannat - Heaven, if I be good) I mean I don't know much about dying well since I never died lol but I'm hoping to ask my God if he could like bring me into that world like it's my dream to be like one of the mane 6's. I know i probably sound like THE most craziest person ever but what can I say, it's who I am. Lol.

Little Bows sorry, your fact was too long. I readed the half of it, it was too long and difficult but anyway...

You see, I'm 11 and I'm shocked that u still watch them (in a good way). One person found out that I watch them and she said that im childish and everything. I'm one of the bravest students in class, EVERYONE is scared of jigsaw and even an nun and im the only one who likes it and thinks that for example Annabelle is a match for me!

I honestly don't care that I watch them and they have a problem with that, you showed me that im not the only one in this hole world who watch them! Thanks 😊

Oh yeah +Maryam Ahmed I'm 14 and I watch MLP p.s that's not the point. There is more to this!! Well clearly were not the only ones in a galaxy, universe this big, I mean there's aliens and other stuff but that's not the point. Some people believe the universe can hear our thoughts and the more people think about something it like creates something like if we imagine equestria and stuff... I know it sounds weird or I didn't make sense. Now this may sound so confusing but bare with me here's what i found

"To put it into perspective. We are in a universe that is adjusted as we see it. There are multiverses out there wich means more universes exist. And the number of universes is unlimited. There is a 99.9% that Equestria (MLP) Universe exist out there with it own rules of space, time, matter, and energy as well as the physical laws and constants that describe them are different then ours. To make it simple if we put our self in a universe where the speed of light is 10 times faster right There is other rules of Physical laws, energy, matter, time and so on.
We cannot travel to a another universe because of limit knowledge of Quantum physics. Basically Quantum Physics can tell us that Quantum Physics is a way around the Physical laws, Such as maxspeed, Distance, Clones. So now we know the scientific part of the journey now comes the spiritual in the 1400 Century  Some time at the dark ages where the christianity had it supierior power to make themslf Dictators of the world with the simple word "It's against the will of god" with theese 6 words if you where in the power of the church you have all the right to bypass Human rights. The church sayd magicians should be slain because it was against the will of god. By meaning of magicians is not a harry potter tale it's more of a spiritual control To learn more about it search for "The Secrets of Wizards, Sorcerers, and Magicians (Documentary)" This spiritual control does refer to stories about people who have their experiences with Aliens. Aliens have their weapon called the mind linked to the spirit. Simple words the weapon is the spirit the ammo is the mind, You load the spirit with your mind and you have your weapon. Why did they have it at the 1400 Century? You ask.
I think it's because of Evolution. We can see this in short terms. If you look into Africa there are black people there and if you look into the north there are white people but all people walked out of Africa. Soon as they start to set their way of life in the north they became brighter and brighter and started to produce the genetics for surviving in colder conditions. As evolution dosent change over night we got the seeds for the cold survival in the north but then we lose our ability to survive in the warm africa. Same way is the spiritual control. We once had it when we had it we couldn't continue because we where not allowed to continue to use it. Then we lose the ability to have spiritual control But it's not gone it's just at it's starting point in our DNA. Once we regain our control of our spiritual control we have the ability to have our mind powers. Lets go back even further to 3000 years B.C Where Ancient egypt where, In that time there was a Heka known as the magic god of Ancient eqypt. He started the spiritual / magic kickoff which lead to today's medicine it was just because The dark ages allowed chemistry. You could imagen how Supieror mankind it self would be as a Specie if the dark ages wouldn't have taken place. But still Belive makes reality Upon Brink of death. There is a high possiblity when we die if we want nothing more in the world then to live in equestria we will get our wishes heard. In buddhism's reinkarnation the their religious followers when they meet the last seconds they wish for nothing more then reinkarnation and there is many theories of reincarnation that it has taken place. But nobody can ask the dead corpse this question "Hey what happened after you died" And you cannot ask the person who is reincarnated "Can you show me your old corpse" There is quite interesting thing upon Ghosts too relatives who wants to communicate because when they died they wish they where still alive with their families and they become the watchers of their family from the Realm of Ghost Earth."

Omfg!!! I was in 1st grade and when I saw the moon, I could kinds see the shape of Luna I was like "ohhhhhmygoooooodddd, ponies can actually talk!!" and now I'm in 6th grade and still watch this

Craters,craters,craters,are you all 5?I know I can let you have your imagination,but I must stop the stupidity,it's not real,have you ever heard of a coincidence?Meteors crashed on the moon a long long long time ago,forming patterns and shapes on the moon,and from where we see it,our brain tries to play a trick on us,making it look the the man on the moon,or the mare on the moon,but in reality,the mare on the moon doesn't exist,now,it's you want to go REALLY deep into this,and you beleive in a infanite amount of worlds,universes,and dimensions,and if it's true,then equestria might exist,but in this reality,it doesnt.

Lol those are craters, craters are these marks on the moon that happen when meteors crash into it xD but I don't blame you if you actually thought it was Luna( no matter how funny it sounds to me! xD) I used to think that the craters on the moon was "The Old Man On The Moon" you know how they used to tell you about an old man on the moon? Lol anyways Equestria is a fictional place that can't possibly be real because it was from the imagination of the creator of mlp so yea....;)

My little pony isn't real. It's just a childrens show that I myself find intresting. We do not share the same moon as equestria, its just the craters on the visuable surface causing you to see imagitory figmantes of the mare on the moon. Not trying to prove anyone wrong, just sharing my oppinion

Or it could just be a play on words that comes from "Man in the moon" and it's not really a mare, but a face. Or it could be exactly what you said. But honestly, who doesn't see something in the moon?

@Yesi Anya You DO understand what I mean and where I got the idea for that comment from, right?

@Jamar Fuhr Love is a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes that ranges from interpersonal affection ("I love my mother") to pleasure ("I loved that meal"). It can refer to an emotion of a strong attraction and personal attachment.[1] It can also be a virtue representing human kindness, compassion, and affection—"the unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another".[2] It may also describe compassionate and affectionate actions towards other humans, one's self or animals.[3]

Non-Western traditions have also distinguished variants or symbioses of these states.[4] This diversity of uses and meanings combined with the complexity of the feelings involved makes love unusually difficult to consistently define, compared to other emotional states.

Love in its various forms acts as a major facilitator of interpersonal relationships and, owing to its central psychological importance, is one of the most common themes in the creative arts.[5]

Love may be understood as a function to keep human beings together against menaces and to facilitate the continuation of the species.[6]
The word "love" can have a variety of related but distinct meanings in different contexts. Many other languages use multiple words to express some of the different concepts that in English are denoted as "love"; one example is the plurality of Greek words for "love" which includes agape and eros.[7] Cultural differences in conceptualizing love thus doubly impede the establishment of a universal definition.[8]

Although the nature or essence of love is a subject of frequent debate, different aspects of the word can be clarified by determining what isn't love (antonyms of "love"). Love as a general expression of positive sentiment (a stronger form of like) is commonly contrasted with hate (or neutral apathy); as a less sexual and more emotionally intimate form of romantic attachment, love is commonly contrasted with lust; and as an interpersonal relationship with romantic overtones, love is sometimes contrasted with friendship, although the word love is often applied to close friendships. (Further possible ambiguities come with usages "girlfriend", "boyfriend", "just good friends").

Fraternal love (Prehispanic sculpture from 250–900 AD, of Huastec origin). Museum of Anthropology in Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico
Abstractly discussed love usually refers to an experience one person feels for another. Love often involves caring for or identifying with a person or thing (cf. vulnerability and care theory of love), including oneself (cf. narcissism). In addition to cross-cultural differences in understanding love, ideas about love have also changed greatly over time. Some historians date modern conceptions of romantic love to courtly Europe during or after the Middle Ages, although the prior existence of romantic attachments is attested by ancient love poetry.[9]

The complex and abstract nature of love often reduces discourse of love to a thought-terminating cliché. Several common proverbs regard love, from Virgil's "Love conquers all" to The Beatles' "All You Need Is Love". St. Thomas Aquinas, following Aristotle, defines love as "to will the good of another."[10] Bertrand Russell describes love as a condition of "absolute value," as opposed to relative value.[citation needed] Philosopher Gottfried Leibniz said that love is "to be delighted by the happiness of another."[11] Meher Baba stated that in love there is a "feeling of unity" and an "active appreciation of the intrinsic worth of the object of love."[12] Biologist Jeremy Griffith defines love as "unconditional selflessness".[13]

Impersonal love
A person can be said to love an object, principle, or goal to which they are deeply committed and greatly value. For example, compassionate outreach and volunteer workers' "love" of their cause may sometimes be born not of interpersonal love but impersonal love, altruism, and strong spiritual or political convictions.[14] People can also "love" material objects, animals, or activities if they invest themselves in bonding or otherwise identifying with those things. If sexual passion is also involved, then this feeling is called paraphilia.[15]

Interpersonal love
Interpersonal love refers to love between human beings. It is a much more potent sentiment than a simple liking for another. Unrequited love refers to those feelings of love that are not reciprocated. Interpersonal love is most closely associated with interpersonal relationships.[14] Such love might exist between family members, friends, and couples. There are also a number of psychological disorders related to love, such as erotomania.

Pair of Lovers. 1480–1485
Throughout history, philosophy and religion have done the most speculation on the phenomenon of love. In the 20th century, the science of psychology has written a great deal on the subject. In recent years, the sciences of psychology, anthropology, neuroscience, and biology have added to the understanding of the nature and function of love.

Biological basis
Main article: Biological basis of love
Biological models of sex tend to view love as a mammalian drive, much like hunger or thirst.[16] Helen Fisher, a leading expert in the topic of love, divides the experience of love into three partly overlapping stages: lust, attraction, and attachment. Lust is the feeling of sexual desire; romantic attraction determines what partners mates find attractive and pursue, conserving time and energy by choosing; and attachment involves sharing a home, parental duties, mutual defense, and in humans involves feelings of safety and security.[17] Three distinct neural circuitries, including neurotransmitters, and three behavioral patterns, are associated with these three romantic styles.[17]

Lust is the initial passionate sexual desire that promotes mating, and involves the increased release of chemicals such as testosterone and estrogen. These effects rarely last more than a few weeks or months. Attraction is the more individualized and romantic desire for a specific candidate for mating, which develops out of lust as commitment to an individual mate forms. Recent studies in neuroscience have indicated that as people fall in love, the brain consistently releases a certain set of chemicals, including the neurotransmitter hormones, dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin, the same compounds released by amphetamine, stimulating the brain's pleasure center and leading to side effects such as increased heart rate, loss of appetite and sleep, and an intense feeling of excitement. Research has indicated that this stage generally lasts from one and a half to three years.[18]

Since the lust and attraction stages are both considered temporary, a third stage is needed to account for long-term relationships. Attachment is the bonding that promotes relationships lasting for many years and even decades. Attachment is generally based on commitments such as marriage and children, or on mutual friendship based on things like shared interests. It has been linked to higher levels of the chemicals oxytocin and vasopressin to a greater degree than short-term relationships have.[18] Enzo Emanuele and coworkers reported the protein molecule known as the nerve growth factor (NGF) has high levels when people first fall in love, but these return to previous levels after one year.[19]

Psychological basis
Further information: Human bonding
Psychology depicts love as a cognitive and social phenomenon. Psychologist Robert Sternberg formulated a triangular theory of love and argued that love has three different components: intimacy, commitment, and passion. Intimacy is a form in which two people share confidences and various details of their personal lives, and is usually shown in friendships and romantic love affairs. Commitment, on the other hand, is the expectation that the relationship is permanent. The last and most common form of love is sexual attraction and passion. Passionate love is shown in infatuation as well as romantic love. All forms of love are viewed as varying combinations of these three components. Non-love does not include any of these components. Liking only includes intimacy. Infatuated love only includes passion. Empty love only includes commitment. Romantic love includes both intimacy and passion. Companionate love includes intimacy and commitment. Fatuous love includes passion and commitment. Lastly, consummate love includes all three.[20] American psychologist Zick Rubin sought to define love by psychometrics in the 1970s. His work states that three factors constitute love: attachment, caring, and intimacy.[21] [22]

Grandmother and grandchild, Sri Lanka
Following developments in electrical theories such as Coulomb's law, which showed that positive and negative charges attract, analogs in human life were developed, such as "opposites attract." Over the last century, research on the nature of human mating has generally found this not to be true when it comes to character and personality—people tend to like people similar to themselves. However, in a few unusual and specific domains, such as immune systems, it seems that humans prefer others who are unlike themselves (e.g., with an orthogonal immune system), since this will lead to a baby that has the best of both worlds.[23] In recent years, various human bonding theories have been developed, described in terms of attachments, ties, bonds, and affinities. Some Western authorities disaggregate into two main components, the altruistic and the narcissistic. This view is represented in the works of Scott Peck, whose work in the field of applied psychology explored the definitions of love and evil. Peck maintains that love is a combination of the "concern for the spiritual growth of another," and simple narcissism.[24] In combination, love is an activity, not simply a feeling.

Psychologist Erich Fromm maintained in his book The Art of Loving that love is not merely a feeling but is also actions, and that in fact, the "feeling" of love is superficial in comparison to one's commitment to love via a series of loving actions over time.[14] In this sense, Fromm held that love is ultimately not a feeling at all, but rather is a commitment to, and adherence to, loving actions towards another, oneself, or many others, over a sustained duration.[14] Fromm also described love as a conscious choice that in its early stages might originate as an involuntary feeling, but which then later no longer depends on those feelings, but rather depends only on conscious commitment.[14]

Evolutionary basis
Evolutionary psychology has attempted to provide various reasons for love as a survival tool. Humans are dependent on parental help for a large portion of their lifespans compared to other mammals. Love has therefore been seen as a mechanism to promote parental support of children for this extended time period. Another factor may be that sexually transmitted diseases can cause, among other effects, permanently reduced fertility, injury to the fetus, and increase complications during childbirth. This would favor monogamous relationships over polygamy.[25]

Comparison of scientific models
Biological models of love tend to see it as a mammalian drive, similar to hunger or thirst.[16] Psychology sees love as more of a social and cultural phenomenon. Certainly love is influenced by hormones (such as oxytocin), neurotrophins (such as NGF), and pheromones, and how people think and behave in love is influenced by their conceptions of love. The conventional view in biology is that there are two major drives in love: sexual attraction and attachment. Attachment between adults is presumed to work on the same principles that lead an infant to become attached to its mother. The traditional psychological view sees love as being a combination of companionate love and passionate love. Passionate love is intense longing, and is often accompanied by physiological arousal (shortness of breath, rapid heart rate); companionate love is affection and a feeling of intimacy not accompanied by physiological arousal.

Cultural views
Ancient Greek
See also: Greek words for love
Greek distinguishes several different senses in which the word "love" is used. Ancient Greeks identified four forms of love: kinship or familiarity (in Greek, storge), friendship (philia), sexual and/or romantic desire (eros), and self-emptying or divine love (agape).[26][27] Modern authors have distinguished further varieties of romantic love.[28] However, with Greek (as with many other languages), it has been historically difficult to separate the meanings of these words totally. At the same time, the Ancient Greek text of the Bible has examples of the verb agapo having the same meaning as phileo.

Agape (ἀγάπη agápē) means love in modern-day Greek. The term s'agapo means I love you in Greek. The word agapo is the verb I love. It generally refers to a "pure," ideal type of love, rather than the physical attraction suggested by eros. However, there are some examples of agape used to mean the same as eros. It has also been translated as "love of the soul."[29]

Eros (ἔρως érōs) (from the Greek deity Eros) is passionate love, with sensual desire and longing. The Greek word erota means in love. Plato refined his own definition. Although eros is initially felt for a person, with contemplation it becomes an appreciation of the beauty within that person, or even becomes appreciation of beauty itself. Eros helps the soul recall knowledge of beauty and contributes to an understanding of spiritual truth. Lovers and philosophers are all inspired to seek truth by eros. Some translations list it as "love of the body."[29]

Philia (φιλία philía), a dispassionate virtuous love, was a concept addressed and developed by Aristotle.[citation needed] It includes loyalty to friends, family, and community, and requires virtue, equality, and familiarity. Philia is motivated by practical reasons; one or both of the parties benefit from the relationship. It can also mean "love of the mind."

Storge (στοργή storgē) is natural affection, like that felt by parents for offspring.

Xenia (ξενία xenía), hospitality, was an extremely important practice in Ancient Greece. It was an almost ritualized friendship formed between a host and his guest, who could previously have been strangers. The host fed and provided quarters for the guest, who was expected to repay only with gratitude. The importance of this can be seen throughout Greek mythology—in particular, Homer's Iliad and Odyssey.

Ancient Roman (Latin)
The Latin language has several different verbs corresponding to the English word "love." amō is the basic verb meaning I love, with the infinitive amare (“to love”) as it still is in Italian today. The Romans used it both in an affectionate sense as well as in a romantic or sexual sense. From this verb come amans—a lover, amator, "professional lover," often with the accessory notion of lechery—and amica, "girlfriend" in the English sense, often being applied euphemistically to a prostitute. The corresponding noun is amor (the significance of this term for the Romans is well illustrated in the fact, that the name of the City, Rome—in Latin: Roma—can be viewed as an anagram for amor, which was used as the secret name of the City in wide circles in ancient times),[30] which is also used in the plural form to indicate love affairs or sexual adventures. This same root also produces amicus—"friend"—and amicitia, "friendship" (often based to mutual advantage, and corresponding sometimes more closely to "indebtedness" or "influence"). Cicero wrote a treatise called On Friendship (de Amicitia), which discusses the notion at some length. Ovid wrote a guide to dating called Ars Amatoria (The Art of Love), which addresses, in depth, everything from extramarital affairs to overprotective parents.

Latin sometimes uses amāre where English would simply say to like. This notion, however, is much more generally expressed in Latin by placere or delectāre, which are used more colloquially, the latter used frequently in the love poetry of Catullus. Diligere often has the notion "to be affectionate for," "to esteem," and rarely if ever is used for romantic love. This word would be appropriate to describe the friendship of two men. The corresponding noun diligentia, however, has the meaning of "diligence" or "carefulness," and has little semantic overlap with the verb. Observare is a synonym for diligere; despite the cognate with English, this verb and its corresponding noun, observantia, often denote "esteem" or "affection." Caritas is used in Latin translations of the Christian Bible to mean "charitable love"; this meaning, however, is not found in Classical pagan Roman literature. As it arises from a conflation with a Greek word, there is no corresponding verb.

Chinese and other Sinic cultures

"Ai," the traditional Chinese character for love (愛) consists of a heart (心, middle) inside of "accept," "feel," or "perceive," (受) which shows a graceful emotion. It can also be interpreted as a hand offering one's heart to another hand.
Two philosophical underpinnings of love exist in the Chinese tradition, one from Confucianism which emphasized actions and duty while the other came from Mohism which championed a universal love. A core concept to Confucianism is Ren ("benevolent love", 仁), which focuses on duty, action and attitude in a relationship rather than love itself. In Confucianism, one displays benevolent love by performing actions such as filial piety from children, kindness from parent, loyalty to the king and so forth.

The concept of Ai (愛) was developed by the Chinese philosopher Mozi in the 4th century BC in reaction to Confucianism's benevolent love. Mozi tried to replace what he considered to be the long-entrenched Chinese over-attachment to family and clan structures with the concept of "universal love" (jiān'ài, 兼愛). In this, he argued directly against Confucians who believed that it was natural and correct for people to care about different people in different degrees. Mozi, by contrast, believed people in principle should care for all people equally. Mohism stressed that rather than adopting different attitudes towards different people, love should be unconditional and offered to everyone without regard to reciprocation, not just to friends, family and other Confucian relations. Later in Chinese Buddhism, the term Ai (愛) was adopted to refer to a passionate caring love and was considered a fundamental desire. In Buddhism, Ai was seen as capable of being either selfish or selfless, the latter being a key element towards enlightenment.

In contemporary Chinese, Ai (愛) is often used as the equivalent of the Western concept of love. Ai is used as both a verb (e.g. wo ai ni 我愛你, or "I love you") and a noun (such as aiqing 愛情, or "romantic love"). However, due to the influence of Confucian Ren, the phrase 'Wo ai ni' (I love you) carries with it a very specific sense of responsibility, commitment and loyalty. Instead of frequently saying "I love you" as in some Western societies, the Chinese are more likely to express feelings of affection in a more casual way. Consequently, "I like you" (Wo xihuan ni, 我喜欢你) is a more common way of expressing affection in Chinese; it is more playful and less serious.[31] This is also true in Japanese (suki da, 好きだ). The Chinese are also more likely to say "I love you" in English or other foreign languages than they would in their mother tongue.

Persian
Rumi, Hafiz and Sa'di are icons of the passion and love that the Persian culture and language present. The Persian word for love is eshgh,[citation needed] derived from the Arabic ishq, however is considered by most to be too stalwart a term for interpersonal love and is more commonly substituted for 'doost dashtan' ('liking').[citation needed] In the Persian culture, everything is encompassed by love and all is for love, starting from loving friends and family, husbands and wives, and eventually reaching the divine love that is the ultimate goal in life .[citation needed] Over seven centuries ago, Sa'di wrote:

The children of Adam are limbs of one body
Having been created of one essence.
When the calamity of time afflicts one limb
The other limbs cannot remain at rest.
If you have no sympathy for the troubles of others
You are not worthy to be called by the name of "man".

Japanese

Ohatsu and Tokubei, characters of Sonezaki Shinjū
The Japanese language uses three words to convey the English equivalent of "love". Because "love" covers a wide range of emotions and behavioral phenomena, there are nuances distinguishing the three terms.[32][33] The term ai (愛?), which is often associated with maternal love[32] or selfless love,[33] originally referred to beauty and was often used in religious context. Following the Meiji Restoration 1868, the term became associated with "love" in order to translate Western literature. Prior to Western influence, the term koi (恋?) generally represented romantic love, and was often the subject of the popular Man'yōshū Japanese poetry collection.[32] Koi describes a longing for a member of the opposite sex and is typical interpreted as selfish and wanting.[33] The term's origins come from the concept of lonely solitude as a result of separation from a loved one. Though modern usage of koi focuses on sexual love and infatuation, the Manyō used the term to cover a wider range of situations, including tenderness, benevolence, and material desire.[32] The third term, ren'ai (恋愛?), is a more modern construction that combines the kanji characters for both ai and koi, though its usage more closely resembles that of koi in the form of romantic love.[32][33]

Turkish (Shaman and Islamic)
In Turkish, the word "love" comes up with several meanings. A person can love a god, a person, parents, or family. But that person can "love" just one special person, which they call the word "aşk." Aşk (a word of Arabic origin) is a feeling for to love, or being "in love" (Aşık), as it still is in Turkish today. The Turks used this word just for their loves in a romantic or sexual sense. If a Turk says that he is in love (Aşık) with somebody, it is not a love that a person can feel for his or her parents; it is just for one person, and it indicates a huge infatuation. The word is also common for Turkic languages, such as Azerbaijani (eşq) and Kazakh (ғашық).

Christianity
The Christian understanding is that love comes from God. The love of man and woman—eros in Greek—and the unselfish love of others (agape), are often contrasted as "ascending" and "descending" love, respectively, but are ultimately the same thing.[34]

There are several Greek words for "love" that are regularly referred to in Christian circles.

Agape: In the New Testament, agapē is charitable, selfless, altruistic, and unconditional. It is parental love, seen as creating goodness in the world; it is the way God is seen to love humanity, and it is seen as the kind of love that Christians aspire to have for one another.[29]
Phileo: Also used in the New Testament, phileo is a human response to something that is found to be delightful. Also known as "brotherly love."
Two other words for love in the Greek language, eros (sexual love) and storge (child-to-parent love), were never used in the New Testament.[29]
Christians believe that to Love God with all your heart, mind, and strength and Love your neighbor as yourself are the two most important things in life (the greatest commandment of the Jewish Torah, according to Jesus; cf. Gospel of Mark chapter 12, verses 28–34). Saint Augustine summarized this when he wrote "Love God, and do as thou wilt."

Sacred Love Versus Profane Love (1602–03) by Giovanni Baglione. Intended as an attack on his hated enemy the artist Caravaggio, it shows a boy (hinting at Caravaggio's homosexuality) on one side, a devil with Caravaggio's face on the other, and between an angel representing pure, meaning non-erotic, love.
The Apostle Paul glorified love as the most important virtue of all. Describing love in the famous poetic interpretation in 1 Corinthians, he wrote, "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres." (1 Cor. 13:4–7, NIV)

The Apostle John wrote, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him." (John 3:16–17, NIV) John also wrote, "Dear friends, let us love one another for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love." (1 John 4:7–8, NIV)

Saint Augustine says that one must be able to decipher the difference between love and lust. Lust, according to Saint Augustine, is an overindulgence, but to love and be loved is what he has sought for his entire life. He even says, “I was in love with love.” Finally, he does fall in love and is loved back, by God. Saint Augustine says the only one who can love you truly and fully is God, because love with a human only allows for flaws such as “jealousy, suspicion, fear, anger, and contention.” According to Saint Augustine, to love God is “to attain the peace which is yours.” (Saint Augustine's Confessions)

Augustine regards the duplex commandment of love in Matthew 22 as the heart of Christian faith and the interpretation of the Bible. After the review of Christian doctrine, Augustine treats the problem of love in terms of use and enjoyment until the end of Book I of De Doctrina Christiana (1.22.21-1.40.44;).[35]

Christian theologians see God as the source of love, which is mirrored in humans and their own loving relationships. Influential Christian theologian C.S. Lewis wrote a book called The Four Loves. Benedict XVI wrote his first encyclical on "God is love". He said that a human being, created in the image of God, who is love, is able to practice love; to give himself to God and others (agape) and by receiving and experiencing God's love in contemplation (eros). This life of love, according to him, is the life of the saints such as Teresa of Calcutta and the Blessed Virgin Mary and is the direction Christians take when they believe that God loves them.[34]

In Christianity the practical definition of love is best summarised by St. Thomas Aquinas, who defined love as "to will the good of another," or to desire for another to succeed.[10] This is the explanation of the Christian need to love others, including their enemies. As Thomas Aquinas explains, Christian love is motivated by the need to see others succeed in life, to be good people.

Judaism
See also: Jewish views on love
In Hebrew, Ahava is the most commonly used term for both interpersonal love and love between God and God's creations. Chesed, often translated as loving-kindness, is used to describe many forms of love between human beings.

The commandment to love other people is given in the Torah, which states, "Love your neighbor like yourself" (Leviticus 19:18). The Torah's commandment to love God "with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your might" (Deuteronomy 6:5) is taken by the Mishnah (a central text of the Jewish oral law) to refer to good deeds, willingness to sacrifice one's life rather than commit certain serious transgressions, willingness to sacrifice all of one's possessions, and being grateful to the Lord despite adversity (tractate Berachoth 9:5). Rabbinic literature differs as to how this love can be developed, e.g., by contemplating divine deeds or witnessing the marvels of nature. As for love between marital partners, this is deemed an essential ingredient to life: "See life with the wife you love" (Ecclesiastes 9:9). The biblical book Song of Solomon is considered a romantically phrased metaphor of love between God and his people, but in its plain reading, reads like a love song. The 20th-century Rabbi Eliyahu Eliezer Dessler is frequently quoted as defining love from the Jewish point of view as "giving without expecting to take" (from his Michtav me-Eliyahu, Vol. 1).

Islam
Love encompasses the Islamic view of life as universal brotherhood that applies to all who hold faith. Amongst the 99 names of God (Allah), there is the name Al-Wadud, or "the Loving One," which is found in Surah [Quran 11:90] as well as Surah [Quran 85:14]. God is also referenced at the beginning of every chapter in the Qur'an as Ar-Rahman and Ar-Rahim, or the "Most Compassionate" and the "Most Merciful", indicating that nobody is more loving, compassionate and benevolent than God. The Qur'an refers to God as being "full of loving kindness."

The Qur'an exhorts Muslim believers to treat all people, those who have not persecuted them, with birr or "deep kindness" as stated in Surah [Quran 6:8-9]. Birr is also used by the Qur'an in describing the love and kindness that children must show to their parents.

Ishq, or divine love, is the emphasis of Sufism in the Islamic tradition. Practitioners of Sufism believe that love is a projection of the essence of God to the universe. God desires to recognize beauty, and as if one looks at a mirror to see oneself, God "looks" at himself within the dynamics of nature. Since everything is a reflection of God, the school of Sufism practices to see the beauty inside the apparently ugly. Sufism is often referred to as the religion of love.[citation needed] God in Sufism is referred to in three main terms, which are the Lover, Loved, and Beloved, with the last of these terms being often seen in Sufi poetry. A common viewpoint of Sufism is that through love, humankind can get back to its inherent purity and grace. The saints of Sufism are infamous for being "drunk" due to their love of God; hence, the constant reference to wine in Sufi poetry and music.

Bahá'í Faith
In his Paris Talks, `Abdu'l-Bahá described four types of love:[1]

The love that flows from God to human beings
The love that flows from human beings to God
the love of God towards the Self or Identity of God
the love of human beings for human beings
Eastern religions
Buddhism
In Buddhism, Kāma is sensuous, sexual love. It is an obstacle on the path to enlightenment, since it is selfish. Karuṇā is compassion and mercy, which reduces the suffering of others. It is complementary to wisdom and is necessary for enlightenment. Adveṣa and mettā are benevolent love. This love is unconditional and requires considerable self-acceptance. This is quite different from ordinary love, which is usually about attachment and sex and which rarely occurs without self-interest. Instead, in Buddhism it refers to detachment and unselfish interest in others' welfare.

The Bodhisattva ideal in Mahayana Buddhism involves the complete renunciation of oneself in order to take on the burden of a suffering world. The strongest motivation one has in order to take the path of the Bodhisattva is the idea of salvation within unselfish, altruistic love for all sentient beings.

Hinduism

Kama (left) with Rati on a temple wall of Chennakesava Temple, Belur
In Hinduism, kāma is pleasurable, sexual love, personified by the god Kamadeva. For many Hindu schools, it is the third end (Kama) in life. Kamadeva is often pictured holding a bow of sugar cane and an arrow of flowers; he may ride upon a great parrot. He is usually accompanied by his consort Rati and his companion Vasanta, lord of the spring season. Stone images of Kamadeva and Rati can be seen on the door of the Chennakeshava temple at Belur, in Karnataka, India. Maara is another name for kāma.

In contrast to kāma, prema – or prem – refers to elevated love. Karuna is compassion and mercy, which impels one to help reduce the suffering of others. Bhakti is a Sanskrit term, meaning "loving devotion to the supreme God." A person who practices bhakti is called a bhakta. Hindu writers, theologians, and philosophers have distinguished nine forms of bhakti, which can be found in the Bhagavata Purana and works by Tulsidas. The philosophical work Narada Bhakti Sutras, written by an unknown author (presumed to be Narada), distinguishes eleven forms of love.

In certain Vaishnava sects within Hinduism, attaining unadulterated, unconditional and incessant love for Godhead is considered the foremost goal of life. Gaudiya Vaishnavas who worship Krishna as the Supreme Personality of Godhead and the cause of all causes consider Love for Godhead (Prema) to act in two ways: sambhoga and vipralambha (union and separation)—two opposites .[36]

In the condition of separation, there is an acute yearning for being with the beloved and in the condition of union there is supreme happiness and nectarean. Gaudiya Vaishnavas consider that Krishna-prema (Love for Godhead) is not fire but that it still burns away one's material desires. They consider that Kṛṣṇa-prema is not a weapon, but it still pierces the heart. It is not water, but it washes away everything—one's pride, religious rules, and one's shyness. Krishna-prema is considered to make one drown in the ocean of transcendental ecstasy and pleasure. The love of Radha, a cowherd girl, for Krishna is often cited as the supreme example of love for Godhead by Gaudiya Vaishnavas. Radha is considered to be the internal potency of Krishna, and is the supreme lover of Godhead. Her example of love is considered to be beyond the understanding of material realm as it surpasses any form of selfish love or lust that is visible in the material world. The reciprocal love between Radha (the supreme lover) and Krishna (God as the Supremely Loved) is the subject of many poetic compositions in India such as the Gita Govinda and Hari Bhakti Shuddhodhaya.

In the Bhakti tradition within Hinduism, it is believed that execution of devotional service to God leads to the development of Love for God (taiche bhakti-phale krsne prema upajaya), and as love for God increases in the heart, the more one becomes free from material contamination (krishna-prema asvada haile, bhava nasa paya). Being perfectly in love with God or Krishna makes one perfectly free from material contamination. and this is the ultimate way of salvation or liberation. In this tradition, salvation or liberation is considered inferior to love, and just an incidental by-product. Being absorbed in Love for God is considered to be the perfection of life.[37]

Political views
Free love
Main article: Free love

Lovers kissing on the street
The term free love has been used [38] to describe a social movement that rejects marriage, which is seen as a form of social bondage. The Free Love movement's initial goal was to separate the state from sexual matters such as marriage, birth control, and adultery. It claimed that such issues were the concern of the people involved, and no one else.[39]

Many people in the early 19th century believed that marriage was an important aspect of life to "fulfill earthly human happiness." Middle-class Americans wanted the home to be a place of stability in an uncertain world. This mentality created a vision of strongly defined gender roles, which provoked the advancement of the free love movement as a contrast.[40]

The term "sex radical" is also used interchangeably with the term "free lover", and was the preferred term by advocates because of the negative connotations of "free love".[citation needed] By whatever name, advocates had two strong beliefs: opposition to the idea of forceful sexual activity in a relationship and advocacy for a woman to use her body in any way that she pleases.[41] These are also beliefs of Feminism.

Philosophical views
Main article: Philosophy of love

Graffito in East Timor
The philosophy of love is a field of social philosophy and ethics that attempts to explain the nature of love.[42] The philosophical investigation of love includes the tasks of distinguishing between the various kinds of personal love, asking if and how love is or can be justified, asking what the value of love is, and what impact love has on the autonomy of both the lover and the beloved.

Many different theories attempt to explain the nature and function of love. Explaining love to a hypothetical person who had not himself or herself experienced love or being loved would be very difficult because to such a person love would appear to be quite strange if not outright irrational behavior. Among the prevailing types of theories that attempt to account for the existence of love are: psychological theories, the vast majority of which consider love to be very healthy behavior; evolutionary theories which hold that love is part of the process of natural selection; spiritual theories which may, for instance consider love to be a gift from a god; and theories that consider love to be an unexplainable mystery, very much like a mystical experience.

There were many attempts to find the equation of love. One such attempt was by Christian Rudder, a mathematician and co-founder of online dating website OKCupid,one of the largest online dating site. The mathematical approach was through the collection of large data from the dating site. Another interesting equation of love is found by in the philosophical blog 'In the Quest of Truth'.[43] Love is defined as a measure of selfless give and take, and the author attempted to draw a graph that shows the equation of love.

@JoshuaDDales Nerds are candy sold by Nestlé under The Willy Wonka Candy Company. Their unusual shape and thin candy-coating is comparable to rock candy. With their anthropomorphic covers, Nerds usually contain two flavors per box, and each flavor has a separate compartment and opening.[citation needed] Larger packages may contain various colors—sometimes referred to as "Rainbow Nerds."Angelo Fraggos launched the production of Nerds in 1983. By 1985, Nerds were recognized as "Candy of the Year" by the National Candy Wholesalers Association (NCWA).[1] The United Kingdom sold a three-box chambered package of Nerds, with strawberry cola as one of the flavors (the United States never sold this type of box or flavor). Throughout the years, the product has been sold in a box with two separate compartments, each compartment containing a different flavor .[1]The article "Nerds Candy Nutrition" states, "Nerds primarily consist of sugar. The top three ingredients are dextrose, sugar and malic acid. The rest of the candy contains less than 2 percent of corn syrup, artificial flavors, carnauba wax and artificial coloring. The artificial coloring varies by flavor."[1] The allergy warnings of this candy state that Nerds are created "in a facility that also produces wheat and egg."[1] The normal serving size is one tablespoon—about 15 grams. (One serving of Nerds is equivalent to 60 calories.) The Halloween hand-out size is typically 15 grams, and the larger boxes contain 170 grams. Nerds consist of neither fat nor protein; the main calories come from carbohydrates.[1]Nerds consist of various flavors and colors, ranging from extremely sweet to extremely sour; often, the two flavours in one box will contrast, and a single flavor may even exhibit both extremes. They are thickly glazed with carnauba wax, which gives them a hard bite and a gloss. The nucleus of each candy is composed of one or more complete sucrose crystals. These optically clear monoclinic crystals are about 0.2–1 mm in length and help define the irregular shape. A Nerds breakfast cereal based on this concept appeared in the 1980s, but it had a short life.

Nerds (Pinktricity & Electro Orange)
Although many other flavors are available, some of the current regular flavors of Nerds include the following:

Strawberry and Grape (pink and purple)
Wild Cherry and Watermelon (orange or red and green)
Double Dipped Lemonade-Wild Cherry and Apple-Watermelon (red and yellow)
Sour-Lightning Lemon and Amped Apple (yellow and light green)
Surf 'n Turf- Totally Tropical Punch and Road Rash Raspberry (red and blue)
Wildberry and Peach (blue and orange)
Watermelon and punch and Wildberry (Green and blue)
Willy Wonka has also come up with several spin-off products of Nerds:

Sour Nerds are big and they usually come in Lightning Lemon and Amped Apple. They are packaged in a regular box. A second flavor—Shocking Strawberry and Electric Blue—was released.
Also known as "Future Nerds," Giant Chewy Nerds have a chewy jelly bean center with a bumpy, crunchy nerd shell. They are the same product as the jellybeans, but they are available year-round.
Nerds Rope consists of gummy string with a variety of Nerds attached to the outside. It comes in original, berry and tropical flavors.
Rainbow Nerds is a box of regular Nerds with multiple flavors, with no partition or organization.
Jumbo Nerds is a box of Nerds with multiple flavors—much larger than regular Nerds. The box depicts one jumbo nerd on a teeter-totter with several regular-sized nerds trying to counter its weight.
Nerds Gum Balls are bubble gum balls filled with multiple flavors of Nerds on the inside.
Theme Nerds are sometimes manufactured seasonally for holidays such as Halloween or Valentine's Day with names such as "Spooky Nerds." Flavors may include fruit punch, strawberry, and orange.
Nerds Cereal, a now-discontinued breakfast cereal that, like the candy, featured two separate flavors in a box. The cereal came with a mail-in offer for a Nerds cereal bowl, which also could be divided in two, like a standard Nerds box.
Techno-Nerds, a lesser-known variety, comprised three compartments: green, blue, yellow, and multicolored.
Nerds Gum consisted of pieces that looked like regular Nerds, but were actually bubble gum. The box featured a Nerd floating away with a bubble gum bubble.
Dweebs, now discontinued, were a soft, chewy version of Nerds. Released in the 1980s, Dweebs contained three separate flavors rather than two. Dweebs were available only for a short time, however.
Neon Nerds were introduced in 1996 and came in Pinktricity and Electro Orange flavours. They are still sold in Australia and New Zealand.
Nerd Jelly Beans, produced for Easter, are jelly beans with a coating of carnauba wax, which makes them taste like Nerds.
Wonkalate, A UK-only chocolate bar, which, aside from its purple color, contained snozzberry-flavored Nerds.
Throughout the 1980s, several new flavors of Nerds were introduced from time to time; for example, "Hot and Cool" Nerds (cinnamon & wintergreen flavored), Blueberry and Raspberry, and Lemon and Lime.

She is responsible for maintaining the weather and clearing the skies in Ponyville. As a huge fan of the Wonderbolts, she dreams of one day joining their elite flying group. In Sonic Rainboom, Rarity and Princess Celestia both declare that she is the best flier in all of Equestria. Rainbow Dash has a pet tortoise named Tank, whom she chooses out of Fluttershy's offered animals in the episode May the Best Pet Win! She represents the element of loyalty.

@Lia Franchesca I understand what fun is it is... Fun is the enjoyment of pleasure, particularly in leisure activities. Fun is an experience — short-term, often unexpected, informal, not cerebral and generally purposeless. It is an enjoyable distraction, diverting the mind and body from any serious task or contributing an extra dimension to it. Although particularly associated with recreation and play, fun may be encountered during work, social functions, and even seemingly mundane activities of daily living. It may often have little to no logical basis, and opinions on whether or not an activity is fun may differ. A distinction between enjoyment and fun is difficult but possible to articulate, fun being a more spontaneous, playful, or active event. There are psychological and physiological implications to the experience of fun.

@Lia Franchesca What? Can't stand anything that makes you smarter? Your brain is getting smarter  once you read this: The brain is an organ that serves as the center of the nervous system in all vertebrate and most invertebrate animals. Only a few invertebrates such as sponges, jellyfish, adult sea squirts and starfish do not have a brain; diffuse or localised nerve nets are present instead. The brain is located in the head, usually close to the primary sensory organs for such senses as vision, hearing, balance, taste, and smell. The brain is the most complex organ in a vertebrate's body. In a typical human, the cerebral cortex (the largest part) is estimated to contain 15–33 billion neurons,[1] each connected by synapses to several thousand other neurons. These neurons communicate with one another by means of long protoplasmic fibers called axons, which carry trains of signal pulses called action potentials to distant parts of the brain or body targeting specific recipient cells.

Physiologically, the function of the brain is to exert centralized control over the other organs of the body. The brain acts on the rest of the body both by generating patterns of muscle activity and by driving the secretion of chemicals called hormones. This centralized control allows rapid and coordinated responses to changes in the environment. Some basic types of responsiveness such as reflexes can be mediated by the spinal cord or peripheral ganglia, but sophisticated purposeful control of behavior based on complex sensory input requires the information integrating capabilities of a centralized brain.

The operations of individual brain cells are now understood in considerable detail but the way they cooperate in ensembles of millions is yet to be solved.[2] Recent models in modern neuroscience treat the brain as a biological computer, very different in mechanism from an electronic computer, but similar in the sense that it acquires information from the surrounding world, stores it, and processes it in a variety of ways, analogous to the central processing unit (CPU) in a computer.

This article compares the properties of brains across the entire range of animal species, with the greatest attention to vertebrates. It deals with the human brain insofar as it shares the properties of other brains. The ways in which the human brain differs from other brains are covered in the human brain article. Several topics that might be covered here are instead covered there because much more can be said about them in a human context. The most important is brain disease and the effects of brain damage, covered in the human brain article because the most common diseases of the human brain either do not show up in other species, or else manifest themselves in different ways.

@Lia Franchesca I believe it is party pooper. Pooper is a toilet and a toilet is a sanitation fixture used primarily for the disposal of human urine and feces. They are often found in a small room referred to as a toilet, bathroom or lavatory. A toilet can be designed for people who prefer to sit (on a toilet pedestal) or for people who prefer to squat and use a squat toilet. Flush toilets, which are common in many parts of the world (particularly in more affluent countries or regions), may be connected to a septic tank or - more commonly in urban areas - via a sewer to a sewage treatment plant.

Dry toilets, for example pit latrines and composting toilets, require no or little water. The excreta is removed manually or composted in situ. Chemical toilets or mobile dry toilets can be used in mobile and temporary situations where there is no access to sewerage.

Ancient civilizations used toilets attached to simple flowing water sewage systems included those of the Indus Valley Civilization and also those of the Romans and Egyptians.[1] Although a precursor to the flush toilet system which is widely used nowadays was designed in 1596 by John Harington,[2] such systems did not come into widespread use until the late nineteenth century.[3] Thomas Crapper was one of the early makers of flush toilets in England.

Many infectious diseases, including cholera and diarrhoea, can be largely prevented when effective sanitation systems are in place. Hygienic toilets are one important piece of the overall sanitation system.

@pegasister They're craters.
Craters are the most common surface features on many solid planets and moons—Mercury and our Moon are covered with craters. This portion of the Moon is covered by numerous circular holes. These are impact craters, each of which was formed when an asteroid or comet collided with the Moon's surface.

They may seem to be pictures, but that is your imagination.

Imagination, also called the faculty of imagining, is the ability to form new images and sensations in the mind that are not perceived through senses such as sight, hearing, or other senses.

@pegasister then...I WANT TO GOOOOO!!!!!

@Catherine Omosigho so does that mean we share the same moon as equestria? AWESOME!

@Catherine Omosigho so does that mean we share the same moon as equestria? AWESOME!

You're right,when i look at the moon I see a mares head and when my friend saw it she was like :0000 so yeah your right EQUESTRIA HAS TO BE REAL

You're right,when i look at the moon I see a mares head and when my friend saw it she was like :0000 so yeah your right EQUESTRIA HAS TO BE REAL


I think that equestria is like a contanant but it has its own sun and moon and it's on it's own planet


I think your theory is true it is very convincing


Well, no, because in that everfree forest episode, the sun and the moon were both in the sky, because celestial and Luna had been kidnapped and couldn't do their duty.


Due to recent episodes, we have learned that celestial is not a fraud


I doubt that Celestia is a fraud.  But I have a theory.  Since the Cosmic Matriarch, read the fanfic " Background Pony" to understand, created equestrian by using magic and splitting her- or himself into not two but four peices, maybe Equestria is entirely made from magic, even the Sun and Moon.  So the Sun doesn't move and the Moon doesn't move until one of the two sisters that everypony knows of raises them.  Bad theory I know but it's the best I have got.


So... "Equestria" is tidally locked to the sun and has an elliptical heliocentric orbit


Well of corse raising the sun would take a lot of power and what does  Celestial have? A lot of power not only is she a princess but she is also the oldest princess that we know of!


maybe equestria is real.if you look in the moon you can see a mare.maybe equestria is a hidden continent?(im only 11 so i may not make sense)maybe equestria is a planet out in space and have their own sun? maybe its NOT real because..its a show..


If both sunbutt n moonbutt lower the sun/moon, would it be dark or light?


This was debunked in season 8 episode 7: horse play, where Celestia raises the sun, for Twilight’s play, while she could’ve been faking it there, what are the chances the sun rose by itself at the exact moment or (moments after) Fluttershy said to raise the sun. “There’s no way the timing could’ve been that perfect

But wasn't that just special effects? After all, LED lighting can make it seem as though the night doesn't touch everything.


Difference is that celestial has magic and actually raises sun


I don't really think that equestrian magic or Equestria is real unless someone has seen it


OMG HOW TO TFAIN YOUR DRAGON REFERENCE! #Fangirl OVERLOAD,!!! Go BRONY!!!

I almost screamed when he said HTTYD, but I didn’t because my family was home


Celestia cant be a fraud because when her and luna were captured the sun and moon were stuck


If celestia just rotate equestria how can Twilight with celestia and Luna's magic rotate equestria in a way in  which sun and moon can be seen at the same time??


I don't know if equestria exists now or not but i do have a point that in MY LITTLE PONY : FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC they have shown that dragons are also there as SPIKE is a dragon and lives in ponyville and IN PAST DRAGONS EXIST so that means WHEN DRAGON USED TO EXIST ON EARTH THE PONIES TOO EXIST AT THAT PERIOD OF TIME still yet scientists or archeologists have not found anything related to the ponies


Celestia has to raise the sun because when Twilight became Princess the sun and moon were stuck AND Princess Celestia and Princess Luna disappeared, nice job!


That one about the sun makes since because the ponys said “Moons”


Well Equestria is a different universe, meaning different universal laws.


I like the theory, but unfortunately StarLynn has a point.


This is My Little Pony. With unicorns.

I think that the sun and the moon are practically the same size, and Celestia and Luna literally raise/lower the sun/moon.
Ever notice how, unlike earth, all pony time is the same?


0:12 lol i see a pony in the earth pic there


ok but what about when twilight has all the allicorn magic and has to raise the sun and lower the moon?


It says on the "hearts warming Eve" episode that equestria is a continent.


If this was true, then how do the unicorns in Heart's Warming Eve raise the sun and moon before the princess


equestria could be on earth. ok before you comment everything wrong with that listen to my theory. so, equestria could be some future post apocalyptic world, where almost everything got destroyed and everybody died. hence it being apocalyptic. this would explain some of the odd things that ponies use, they survived the apocalypse like hammers, wrenches, tea cups, etc. It also would explain why equestria sometimes seems in a midevial stage, because they had to completely restart their world. this is why there are no humans. equestria's landscape even sort of looks like earth with pretty flowers, green rolling hills, and streams/rivers. In hearths warming eve pinkie even calls the land "she" found earth. which would make alot more sense if they were living on earth.


I always saw Equestreia as another planet but that's probebly my Star Trek,Doctor Who,Transformer fandom speaking :P


Equestria is USA and the griffon lands (to the right) is actually Atlantis!


Maybe the MLP Universe is flat so when the sun rise there is equal amount of sunlight. Oh and the sun in the mlp universe is probably not the sun we know, its probably just a star smaller than the sun but  the same size as the moon they have.its not only equestria celestia raises the sun for its every single part of their universe


In season 4 you can see when the alicorns gave twilight their magic if twilight didn't rase the sun it would be night and she didn't have good control over the rising of the sun because she didn't now how to conto all the magic that is why you are wrong


When you hit me with httyd I dropped like a meteor


or she could be lichraly raiseing the sun by lifting it up and putting it down.


coff coff twilight's kingdom part 2 coff coff

*coff coff* twilight's kingdom part 2 *coff coff*


Since we have continental drift and we share the same moon what if when there was Pangea in the map universe continental drift drifted the continents in differnt spots! I think Antarctica drifted were north and South America are while they converged and drifted to were Africa is! Africa drifted over to Australia and Australia went to Asia! Europe and Australia eventually converged forming the equestrian world!!! Antarctica being equestria!


I think they revolve a star not the sun its a star that is big enough to light equestria


Celestia does raise the sun. If you go into the final of season 4(?) Twilight has to raise the sun. Just watch. She is like 'What! The sun!' And she makes the sun go into different places. :p


(Ok so I didn’t go too deep in the comments to see if anyone has the same idea as me) has anyone noticed that the names mlp names for places in equestria in the show
Like fillydelphia (something like this but why filly since it’s a young female horse)  = Philadelphia in real life in earth
Or “mane”hattan  = Manhattan net NeW York city
Also lol : mane 6 (main six)
There’s always these pony connection between pony like and real life :)


I'm not a hater but has it ever come to mind that this is a cartoon?


CELESTIAS NOT A FRAUD!!!! First, there was a future episode where Twilight raised the sun when all the Alacorns gave all their magic too her, but at the time you made this vid you hadn't seen that. But if Tia is a fraud, than that would mean Luna is. But she very clearly controls the moon because, SHE WOULDNT LOWER IT! Hope this convinced. And I have a analyzing topic for you, how can Tia raise the moon? It's not her special talent, so how?


Hey, can you do another video, revisiting this?


the thing is, celestia is not a fraud, because we see twilight stuggiling to rais the sun herself, and the sun doesnt go around the world, it just drops, and the moon rises.


I think they come from different dimensions, a different planet bcoz in equestria girls rainbow rocks twilight says something about three spacial dimensions. So one could be earth, another is canterlot high, and lastly, a magic world where equestria is and where the moon and the sun is spun by the princesses.


OMG!!!!!!!!U USED A PIC OG SCHOOL FROM SOD AND THOUGHT IT WAS BERK?YOU SICK BARSTARD;HOW DO U LIVE


I wonder what side of the universe Equestria would be in, I'm guessing north.


I know that you did this many years ago, but watch the MLP movie. it is proof she DOES raise the sun.


actually, berk isnt a continent, is just a small island between canada and the north of europe, in fact its just an archipielago with lots of other islands with flying reptiles living with humans, just wanted to say you were wrong with that nwn


What if that equestria is a large island and the sun and moon rising is actually the magic rotating the planet and there are other places outside of equestria.


0:58 Subscribe to the notion.... Lol so sly XD

The Brony Notion just asking... pls. do. why. the. hair. of. rainbow. dashs.hair. is . rainbow colors.

Ruthie Fields back when my channel was just "The Notion" it made more sense ;) that's how I got my name?


but when the three princesses got rid of there magic and gave it to twilight, twilight raised the sun.


in season 6 Celestia said "a land of dragons "maybe that's a land outside equestria.


twilight's kingdom pt 1 & 2 disprove your conspiracy theory because when twilight (alicorn princesses transferred their power to twilight [tyrek=cause]) tries to raise the sun and lower the moon they go out of control like a bouncy ball.


it is what she wants you to think. i know what happens while episodes are created


firespark productions but I'm watching this on 2017 :)


Hey, I want an episode of MLP when Nightmare Moon comes back and overthrows Celestia and Luna and is ruler for eternity


Could be real because the whole universe can’t end


you know when you said about equestria and the places outside it? the other places are probably filled with other animals like griffins because you know that episode where pinkie pie and rainbow dash travel to a place with a button whooping of griffins? just think about it.


I think that at Equestria the sun has the same size as the moon.


I think celestia is a fraud too I just,just... I HATE HER  and I, I... LOVE LUNA!!

Official Sonata Dusk has left the chat room

I was just about to say that, well, you said it for me

It was disproven in season 4 final. Remember twilight raising the sun and it went weirdly


Equestria is probably just an alternate universe. There is our world. Then there is Equestria. And then there is the Equestrian Girls world, which is an eerie mixture of the two. All three worlds are just parallel universes. The rules of nature can vary from universe to universe. In the world of Equestria, Celestia is powerful enough to magically raise the sun. She is no fraud.


I think that you should consider that it might be in a different galaxy.

You are wrong because twilight literally raises the sun in the finale.

And in the FIRST episode it was night for so long because the sun never rose.

@Lydia GKrager AHA TAKE THAT BRONY NOTION!

@Lydia GKrager AHA TAKE THAT BRONY NOTION!

@SkylerdoesMinecraft Still, people love to speculate, and this is for theory, and brainteasing fun.

Oh,he was talking about another event,sorry then.

Oh,he was talking about another event,sorry then.

@NefeliBrony Sparkle If you are referring to the Summer sun Festival, then she made her own "Sonic Rainboom", in the shape of her Cutie mark

What are you talking about? Twilight did a big sparkle,she didn't raise the sun.

you know that this video was made before season 4?

you know that this video was made before season 4?

@SkylerdoesMinecraft So your gonna believe that your a fake skydoesminecraft liar well then bye C:

fine you believe what you want to believe I'll believe whats true<br>

@SkylerdoesMinecraft I would believe you if your use was SkylerPLAYSMinecraft but no I dont believe you "LIAR"

I am telling the truth so yeah I guess that is a coincidence

@SkylerdoesMinecraft Liar. there is no coincidence in that.

@Mysterious Pixelated Blur<br> no I did not even know about skydoesminecraft when I made my chanel

@Mysterious Pixelated Blur
 no I did not even know about skydoesminecraft when I made my chanel

@Nokota Silver I guess you have a point there

@Nokota Silver I guess you have a point there

@Brooke Katz She probably could have before if she tried hard enough. The thought just never crossed her mind because that was Celestia's job.

Gosh people! I know he made this before season 4. I just wanted to tell people. Calm down and stop freaking out!

@Peanut Butter SandWich I used the books and season 1+2 to proof my point.

why was this theary argument started? this video was made before season 4!meaning that the season 4 finally didn't happen yet to prove him wrong.i dont see why you think he would have known this (VIDEO DATE) unless he owns a time machine and my face when you say thats true -_- ya

Twilight only gains that ability after the three Princesses transfer their magic to her.....

@Zack Light Either way, if only Celestia have access to the place where alicorns are made, it would suggest that there's something about her that makes her better then Luna, even though I hate to admit it. Also, I'm with the people who believe that the place Twi apeared in "magical mystery cure" is heaven.

@sparkadus You're right I don't believe it. I've read the Crystal Heart Spell and I didn't really get that impression, nor have I seen anything to suggest that Luna had a different origin that Celestia. I personally believe that there are no born alicorns, but that's aside from the point, though if she was a god, then I guess that she would probably be one.

@Zack Light You are not gonna believe it, but she is. In the chapter book called: "The crystal heart spell", we learned how Cadance became an alicorn. She mastered one of the world's driving forces and suddenly apeared in a place that only Celestia has access to. When she apeared there, Celestia made her an alicorn princess. The important thing to note is that the way Cadance became an alicorn matches the Twi became one. Knowing that, we can conclude that "the place only Celestia has access to", is the same place Twi ended up at, and that place doesn't look like it's from this world. Not to mention that Celestia turns anyone who can get there into an alicorn royalty. As much as I hate to say it, from the way it looks, Celestia is the one true god of Equestria. The evidence I've gathered even slightly suggest that Luna wasn't born an alicorn herself... Though I still support the Lunar Republic.

@Devouring_One Celestia isn't a goddess.

@Devouring_One Celestia isn't a goddess.

it does not mean he is dumb its a THEROY

it does not mean he is dumb its a THEROY

Wrong! It's just in the s4 finale the 3 princesses took away their magic and the magic went into twilight

If I watched this before the Season 4 finale, I would have believed it.

@pandi312 AJ I'm not gonna make a Game Theory joke. Oh wait, nevermind, I already have. lol

it was just a theory he didn't know for sure

it was just a theory he didn't know for sure

no i mean this video was uploaded before the season four finale even came out so when he made this he couldn't have known even tho you are right its a matter of timing look at the upload date of this vid then look at the us release date of the mlp season 4 finale

@Edward Trueblood Wat? when did twi raise the sun before?

ya but this vid was uploaded before the season 4 finale so he didn't know at the time

But when twi got all that magic from the 3 sisters, their cutiemark dissapeared. Maybe twi got their talents, and automaticly learned how to raise the sun. And she still have the magic of 4 alicorns. I think its pretty relevant.

Ya but didn't they say it was supposed to be the longest night of the year?

Its also wrong because in the first episode the sun doesn't rise till Celestia reappears after nightmare moon is defeated<br> thus having not risen at the right time, meaning it is controlled by the goddesses

Its also wrong because in the first episode the sun doesn't rise till Celestia reappears after nightmare moon is defeated
 thus having not risen at the right time, meaning it is controlled by the goddesses

@John Grant<br>no just my name is skyler

yea and are you related to skydoesminecraft

yea and are you related to skydoesminecraft

dude it is just a show(that I love)it does not exist I mean Equestrai not the power of friendship this vid is pointless

and before the princesses arive the unicorns did it

and before the princesses arive the unicorns did it

@Summer Lanese Yes...the sun decided to rise in a tripple loop-d-loop, flying back spin.....and then it decided to sit quite close to the moon in season 4 ep 1-2.....MAGIC!!!!

@Summer Lanese no she didnt because the sun AND the moon went all wobbley

Ok well... may be she thinks she is but is actually just wasting magic? ...


i was expecting more for some reason lol


What about when Twilight raises the sun and it's all crazy?


I don't know if Equestria is a country or continent but I think it is a large continent sort of like what Asia is. It doesn't resemble north America in anyway.Although isn't Ponyville based of a real town in East Canada that ends with ville.


also, its refereed as a "country" in one episode!


No she raises the sun cuz in the episode where her magic is taken by twilight, the sun dosnt raise on its own. Twilight is told to raise it...


What if celestia actually raises the sun and scientists are all wrong.


maybe celestia has so much power that she can love the sun / the sun is smaller like the moon


So....she just stand in the perfect moment and pretend like she's raising the sun and everypony believe that......


I am pretty sure Celestia raises the sun. And I am pretty sure the earth is bigger than the sun in my Little pony universe


maybe when AJ said here in equestria she meant in that spot of equestria which is there world because Sunset said she wanted to rule equestria which is a cliche to ruling the world aka she wanted to rule the world


what about the episode where twilight tries to raise the sun and lower the moon that couldn't possibly happen


I think Celestia is not a fraud because on season 4 finale Celestia Luna and cadence give twilight their powers and twilight has to raise the sun and lower the moon but when she tries the sun goes all over the place because she didn't know how to do it that well, so if Celestia is a fraud then how does twilight get the powers to raise the sun after Celestia gave her powers to twilight?


celestia could not be faking because the sun rises slowly and she raises it faster than it would on its own. and also at the ending of season 4 twilight forgot to raise the sun and the sun did not come up. So there is no way she is faking this.


excuse me but, you said to revolve the sun around the earth would take a Buttload of magic- well I'm just going to point out Celestia is an ALICORN not just any alicorn she is the oldest meaning its possible she has the most magic out of all the princesses and another theory of mine is: What if their sun is smaller than ours and maybe even closer, so maybe its easyer to move...

yours truly,
Silver Star the Unicorn


People in our world used to think everything revolves around us.
(Hey, some of my classmates still believe that everything revolves around them, but...)
Maybe, just maybe, in Equestria, it actually does.
Meaning, their earth doesn't move - the sun and moon move around them.


Celestia raises the sun because when Nighmare moon returned and Celestia disappeared it was still completely dark


actually we know for fact that when celestia lost her power the sun didn't ryse soooooo ... conspiracy failed !


That is a false consumption cause when the princesses have to give up their powers to stop Teirek, Twilight has to raise the sun and when she was supposed to it was still night. How do you explain that?


I thought it was funny how you said" peace "at the end


I think of Equestria as a Country with provinces.


if Celestia and Luna didn't raise the sun and moon, then how can Nightmare moon is the first episode make the night last forever?


Celestia's not a fraud. When Terex attaks, Twilight  forgot to put the sun. . she tries and the sun moved in a zigzag🤔


I fangirled at the How To Train Your Dragon reference.


You might wanna rethink this because what about twilight a kingdom when twilight controlled the sun even when it wasn't the summer sun celebration.


I have a really really good question I actually like my little pony but I never watch some of them so what about The sunset shimmer leaves the sun up to the earth so all of the people can see her inside the sun and what about she lives there


This show is fictional so real logic doesn't apply to this, saying that Celestia could actually be raising the sun.


But we know that it's the same time all across equestria...


maybe the "planet" is flat! the sun could be smaller. Equestria could be in a whole other universe! if it is flat the sun could be smaller which could be why in the Tree of Harmony, the sun and the moon are alongside each other


I bet its real since in my science class I learned that the sun has a neighbor but it's far away and it's has its own planet . I wonder if Equestria lives there.yiu know what one day well find out for sure.amd if it's all true I would totally live there.but I think we're going to have to turn into them.bc humans with magical creater don't..mix well.:)))


There is a flaw in your idea, if she doesn't rise the sun then how did nightmare moon keep it night when the sun would of been up even without celestia


Isn't this about the location of Equestria? Why are we talking about the legitimacy of Celestia's Magic?


Celestia does raise the money because on season 4 when they transferred their powers to twilight the sun didn't rise on time because twilight had to raise it therefore celestia is not a fake


Well maybe in Equstria's world,the sun is smaller and the same size as the moon.And you said that Equstria isn't part of our world but everybody count on how many he brought earths history in equstria history like they would were alike that's my opinion


It’s odd to see how much The Brony Notion has changed xD


But considering that celestia is an alicorn, there is no way she is a fraud


If you ever once played a mlp game on a mobile you just might see part of the world's map.


And to think this is how he used to record...


How can pony hold thinng with a flat paw? (Really it make me confusse)


Or equestria is flat
(Since equestria dosnt have time zones)
So celestia litterally raises the sun.


So how does Nightmare Moon stops the sun from rising


But when celestia gave twilight her magic she was able too control the sun


This explains why Celestia is so useless when the bad things happen


I'm not a flat earthed person but I think equestria is a flat planet so celestia puts the sun under the flat planet and Luna puts it on top


This isn't possible because in one episode where Kadence, Celestia, and Luna give their magic to Twilight, she loses control for a moment and the sun go all over the place and the moon.


I think you lissed something: Twilight tried to raise the sun once XD so Celestia IS moving the sun by herself with magic


You drunk bro? She raises the sun she literally was gone and the sun wouldn't go up<br>So much proof she does

You drunk bro? She raises the sun she literally was gone and the sun wouldn't go up
So much proof she does


Season 2 episode 11, with ten minutes and 40 seconds left in the episode, “the earth is round, there is no up or down”.
