How does the brain work. I know that they have mapped most of the brain and know what most of the areas do. But they still don't fully understand how it does the amazing things that it does. It seems to be a whole bunch of systems stacked on top of each other. The thinking brain stacked on top of the monkey brain which in turn is stacked onto the reptile brain. Which in of itself is interesting. How evolution uses what is available and adds onto it. The hind brain (reptile brain) was already in place so it added the mid-brain (monkey brain) to it and so with the cerebrum. Cool stuff.
None of these questions are new or original. I just go back to them from time to time to make myself miserable. It's a hobby of mine.
Speaking of original ideas, are there any left in the world? I know I haven't had one in my life. Is there a god, that has been asked long before I should up. How was the universe created and what was there before it was created? Astrophysicists say the universe is 15 million or so years old. How do they know this?
I am a big believer in science. It makes more sense to me than does anything else. But the frustration of science is that nothing can ever be answered fully. There are always going to be questions. Many things have been answered to a very fine degree. How the solar system works, the theory of evolution, how electricity behaves. But you never know when something will come up that changes things.
Most astrophysicists thought they new most everything about space. Now we have parallel universe theory, dark matter, string theory and a host of other things to wonder about. Try to keep up will you.
Oh well, at least there are still things to wonder about even though I have no idea how most of these theories are about.
Just random thoughts
Nuff' Said
