• What Is Déjà Vu?

    *** Déjà vu (French pronunciation: [deʒa vy] ( listen), literally “already seen”) is the experience of feeling sure that one has already witnessed or experienced a current situation, even though the exact circumstances of the prior encounter are uncertain and were perhaps imagined. The term was coined by a French psychic researcher, Émile Boirac (1851–1917) in his…

  • On Memory

    Today is my 1000th post. I began here in November of 2004. It has been a good time of learning and being propelled forward by other blog posters and blog commentators.  It has been a wonderful journey in terms of the education I have received. Again too, within each of our conversations with who ever…

  • What are Memories made up of ?

    Illustration by The New York Times Some do indeed understand the fuzzy logic. These images are pixel orientated. They describe a process of thinking that is quite impermeable to the everyday biological function of the thinking brain that we have devised a way in which to represent the process of marketing for the populace at…

  • In today’s Media, Has the Soul taken a Hiatus

    “Somebody who only reads newspapers and at best books of contemporary authors looks to me like an extremely near-sighted person who scorns eyeglasses.

  • Bee Movie and Science Today

    Bee of Backreaction was highlighting the Dimensional perspective of the way we are going to see Dream Works animation developing new movies. See “DreamWorks goes Extra Dimensional.“ I thought it important that I reveal the coincidence of the story I have here in this blog about the Bee people. I wonder how the script arose…

  • It’s a Penquin?

    The jump from conventional field theories of point-like objects to a theory of one-dimensional objects has striking implications. The vibration spectrum of the string contains a massless spin-2 particle: the graviton. Its long wavelength interactions are described by Einstein’s theory of General Relativity. Thus General Relativity may be viewed as a prediction of string theory!…

  • The Mind Field

    Lee Smolin: Height is proportional to the number of things the theory gets right. Since we don’t have a convincing case for the right theory yet, that is a high peak somewhere off in the distance. The existing approaches are hills of various heights that may or may not be connected, across some ridges and…
