I would guess that many people would define an idea as a concept created or solidified in your mind. Which means it is born when it is thought of, and therefore is not an idea until it is born (thought of). Thus, an idea is NOT an idea if nobody thinks of it. Which could also raise the question of temporal state, since we are speaking of infinities - maybe it isn't an idea yet today, but it will be tomorrow as soon as the first person/being/entity thinks of it. Or, one could argue, it is always an idea, just not a realized idea until someone thinks of it, if it will EVER be thought of. But my question was leaning more toward: if NO ONE EVER thought of it, would it still be an idea?  Aaron</blockquote>
