    Whatsherface, ditos too!

    Merlin,

    Kmguru could do a better job of explaining this than me.

    What I am essentially saying is that

    .......I don't know where to begin...

    .....Say ..like.. the radio telementry output of an old Apollo Spaceship (example), or a deep space probe, such as VoyagerI & II.

    The signals that are (were) coming from these probes was extremely weak. Almost non-existant. However, NASA was able to receive these signals & filter/amplify them to the point of usefulness. ...........

    ....This has been going on for around thirty years.

    As time passes, the ability to broadcast and receive information with less energy continues to progress. In other words, a 1920's radio station sent out a lot of energy, most of the energy expended was in the form of heat (vacuum tubes) and noise. The radio recievers of the time were no better. The ability of the receiver units to filter out the noise was pretty terrible. One might think of these older systems in the same way as an old man with bad hearing.

    Every year that passes, radio technology improves in it's ability to send more pure information & receive even weaker signals. I believe that in the future, engineers will design systems that will use a fraction of the energy of today, to send & recieve these signals. It may well become possible for radio information to be sent and received all over the world, without the use of satellites!

    Since the mamalian brain has yet to be completely understood (by a long shot), I am curious if maybe the real thoughts are at a much lower level than is even now recordable by our best technology.

    Hey, Evolution. It's always geared toward the most efficient & competitive. Mankind has yet to build a good replica of the human mind, or a dog for that matter.

    The passing of information between cells, neurons, and whatever, require the transmission of electrcity, which creates a magnetic field. That would explain the way magnets can alter the way electricity moves about the body and exhibits a healing effect. And since the brain is made almost completely out of neurons, that is a hell of a lot of electricity. In fact, out of the 2000 calories the average person burns a day, just performing bodily functions necessary for life, 1600 of them are used for the brain. That's hardcore. And with all that electricity relaying around, I'm sure the brain elicits a pretty decent magnetic field.

    I think 1 watt-hour equals 900 calories. So if one is using 1600 calories per day, that is not much energy in terms of electricity, besides most of that goes to expending chemical energy.

    Geraldo:

    Thank you and you are right...the amplifiers are getting better to isolate signal from noise. Our body has a similar situation. The only time it gets confused is when there is an external high power alternate signal (modulated, microwave or any EM frequency) that can induce or over power our internal communication system. Even very high energy DC magnets can do that too.

    While people think that microwave is not ionizing radiation and hence could not damage the cells. But they forget that in order for the cells to renew, cell to cell communication takes place. If an external field is applied that confuse that communication...bad things can happen.

    I had a bad experience with a table top ionizer that is suppose to clean the air at 12,000 volts. I left it next to my bed on a small book case. About 4 months later I noticed a few pimple type growth on my shoulder closest to the ionizer. Immediately, I removed the gadget and acid burned the growth. No more problem since then.

    THINK TWICE

    I don't see much spiritual implications.
    Simplyfied: if the body dies, the mind shuts off, just like an electro magnet with no power input. Thats IDIOTIFYING! In physics we know that no energy just "disapears" but is transformed into somthing else... Just aswell as if u keep a lighter under a cold spoon, the heat disapers, into the spoon, and a little water forms underneath. Now, we know that our body, are driven by electric signal right... And when we die, this electric signal dissapers! I havent heard about the body temperature rises when death comes. This force, that had made it sure, that the heart beats, that there is what we could call THE OBSERVER, suddently just disapears. We already know, that just as a person die, he looses a tiny amount of his weight... Whats is that disapering??? tHE SOUL MY FRIEND

    But the key question is does this solve the age-old mind body problem?
    Not necessarily. But it has very good potential. It really depends on how the transition from third-person description to first-person experience is proposed.

    third-person description: a description of events that describes in a communicable way.
    first-person experience: the actual experiencing of the events, and therefore not-communicable. one cabn only communicate a (3rd pers.) description of that first-person experience.

    I hope it not alltogether vague.[/QUOTE]
