More About Me

I'm passionate about

New ideas about who we are and where evolution of thought is takingb us.

An idea worth spreading

spirit defined
Every kind of chemical exchange between a human biological system and its environment results in a series of complex physical and chemical transformations inside the body. Many phenotypic, genotypic, behavioral and emotional characteristics or states of being of a human can be identified as originating from a physical chemical cause. Neurochemicals are responsible for what can be described as feelings of well being, love and pain. Similarly, memory is a reconstruction of an image in the brain at the expense of specific types of chemical energy. More social or long-term characteristics such as one's beliefs may be regarded as a combination of chemical concentrations and molecular arrangements,

• A comment on Conversation: If objects like an electron move at the speed of light, then would space contract to 0 and time would be no more? Is this nonlocal?

  Jul 4 2012: If s1 and s2 electrons are intangeled then seperated to any large distance and the spin of one is changed, the other instantly changes correspondingly. no time is involve, information cannot travel faster than light. This phenomina is called Bells Therom. The electrons are said to be non local. What does this mean?

• A comment on Talk: Kevin Kelly: How technology evolves

  Jul 2 2012: Technology enhanses all our senses; we see farther,into the universe, smaller objects. our invention can go where we cannot, examine things on other planets, stars, and increase our understanding of who we are,and how we got here.

  A comment on Talk: Noah Feldman says politics and religion are technologies

  Jul 2 2012: Very good insightful talk.

• A comment on Talk: Sam Harris: Science can answer moral questions

  Jun 29 2012: Basic science asks "how", where, and when something happened in our time-space environment of the physical world.
  There is no evidence of a "why" the universe and physical world consists of processes that have increased in complexity through time..
  
  The humanities are ruiled by values that have evolved through time and these values give us the why of social science, religion, governments etc.

  A comment on Talk: E.O. Wilson: Advice to young scientists

  Jun 27 2012: Science is the study of the way the universe and physical world is.
  Religion is part of the humanities and is part of the way we are.
  Why not pay a little more attention to what affect our religion has on our ethics.
  This could determine how science is applied as technology.
  The kind of values you have are important.
  Science has no huminastic values.
