Memory And Cosmology

Here is a question to ponder about your brain. Think of all the memories that you have about all you have ever done and seen in your life. Remember also that you probably have a whole storehouse of memories that come back to you with some type of cue, such as hearing an old song. That can only mean that the memories must have been there all along.

Now, consider that the functional part of your brain is really no bigger than an apple or an orange. Aside from memory, the brain has a great number of other tasks, from movement of involuntary muscles to processing the information received from the senses. Furthermore, the material of which our brains are composed is up to 90% water.

So, here is the question: How, in physical terms, can all of the memory that the average person has be stored in a volume the size of the brain?

Every bit of information that your senses ever receives leaves an impression on the brain. But how can it be possible to store it all? Storage cannot be accomplished in units as small as the molecular level, for example, simply because the stored information must be accessible to some read/write process, just as in a computer.

My conclusion is that there is absolutely no way our brains can even begin to store the unfathomable volume of information that we have in our memories if the brain is, in fact, the three-dimensional object as it appears to us. It is not necessary to go into brain physiology here. In memory units, such as the bits in a computer, it is utterly impossible to store even one percent of the memory of the average person in a manner that can work with the electric input/output process that the brain uses.

How can we possibly have all of the memory that we do, considering what must be the strict limitations of brain capacity? As far as I know, it has never been demonstrated that there is, in fact, any kind of limit to how much memory a person can have. Also, notice that the size of a person's brain does not seem to have much to do with the volume of memory that they have.

There has just got to be some kind of hidden memory storage somewhere. But how can that be?

Now, consider my version of string theory "The Theory of Stationary Space". In the theory our bodies and brains, as well as all matter, is not really composed of the sub-atomic particles that we perceive. All such particles are actually one-dimensional strings stretching across the universe from the site of the Big Bang, which began the universe as we know it.

Our consciousness progresses along the bundles of strings, of which our brains are composed, at what we perceive as the speed of light. This is why the speed of light seems to us to be the maximum possible velocity. Motion, including heat and electricity, results from our perspective because the strings, and bundles of strings, are not perfectly straight relative to one another.

This means that our brains are actually four-dimensional, not three-dimensional as we see it. This explains why we can store such a fantastic amount of memory in such a strictly limited space. Your brain stretches backward, in the fourth dimension of space that we perceive as time, to your birth.

Whenever you remember something in the past, your consciousness actually travels back in time to that point. Time, of course, is not really time but space. Your consciousness is continuously moving along your bundle of strings, at what we perceive as the speed of light, but the places where the consciousness has already been are still accessible.

This past access is instantaneous, it is not limited to the "speed of light" as we perceive the movement of information to be. This shows that there is really no such thing as the speed of light, this illusion is produced by the movement of our consciousness and creates the present, in relation to the rest of what we perceive as time.

How could it possibly be otherwise? If this is not true then how can our brains possibly store so much memory?

The Wave Congruence Hypothesis

Water waves are often used as an analogy for electromagnetic waves, such as radio, infrared, visible light and, ultraviolet. Both types of wave have wavelength, frequency and, amplitude. The difference, of course, is that we can actually see how water waves operate. The visible light that we can see is a narrow section of the electromagnetic spectrum, but we cannot see how it operates.

There are also sound waves, which travel through various materials. Sound operates in a way similar to the waves in water, except that they involve alternating compressions and rarefactions in the medium, rather than crests and troughs (the high and low points of the wave). Sound also travels very well through water, which is why whales can communicate over great distances.

All waves are actually electromagnetic in nature. This is the only force that can create physical waves. The waves of the electromagnetic spectrum are electromagnetic in that by disturbing the perfect checkerboard alternation of negative and positive charges, as I described in the theory, they uncover the underlying electromagnetism of space itself. We do not otherwise perceive space as electromagnetic simply because it's component charges balance out to zero. The movement of charges in matter, such as electrons moving in a radio transmission antenna, disturb the charged particles of space nearby by attracting opposite charges and repelling like charges, which further disturb the charged particles further out, thus creating a wave which uncovers the underlying electromagnetism of space.

Waves in matter, such as water waves, also operate by electromagnetism. But these waves operate by repulsion only, not by opposite charge attraction. The force that creates these waves is electron repulsion. The electrons in the outer shells of atoms in a stone thrown into a pond, or in the hull of a ship moving through the sea, repel the like-charged electrons in the atoms of water, pushing the molecules of water outward, and thus creating the wave.

Both waves manifest the same three parameters; wavelength, frequency and, amplitude (the height or strength of the wave). Both are created by electromagnetism involving movement of matter. The water waves exist in matter only, the electromagnetic waves exist in space but are initiated by matter and affect matter across space. The electromagnetic waves result from both attraction of opposite charges and mutual repulsion of like charges, while the water waves result from electron repulsion only.

My Theory of Stationary Space is that space and matter are merely different arrangements of the same thing. If we had a pattern of perfectly alternating infinitesimal negative and positive charges, we have space. If we have strings of such charges, with the string a single charge throughout, we have matter. If the movement of a matter charge produces waves in the sorrounding space by the attraction of opposite charges and the repulsion of like charges in the space, we have an electromagnetic wave.

I consider it as proof enough of my concept that space and matter are actually different arrangments of the same thing, that matter can create waves in the charges of space that can affect matter across that space. But as additional proof, I maintain that the close similarity of water and sound waves to electromagnetic waves, all manifest the same parameters of frequency, wavelength and, amplitude, is proof that, as my cosmological theory explains, space and matter are merely different forms of the same thing, which is a near-infinity of infinitesimal negative and positive electric charges.
