Chapter 238: Holograms
Shang Minjie took out her mobile phone, tapped it a few times, and then handed it to Wu Lang: "Look at the information on it, my friend just sent it to me in the morning." ”
Wu Lang took the phone, took a deep puff of cigarette, and looked at it carefully......
In real life, some people have an eye-popping memory and can instantly remember a lot of meaningless numbers, words and patterns, while others, on the contrary, can't always remember things. It seems that the vast majority of people think that their memory is very poor, and they all expect to have the ability to remember like a memory master, and the traditional view is that memories are stored in our brains, so all kinds of brain health supplements are popular.
In the twenties of the last century, scientists in the study of epilepsy patients, found the precise address of memory storage in the human brain, he first anesthetized the patient's scalp, while ensuring that their consciousness is completely awake, and then stimulated a specific part of the brain with electrodes, which can evoke their memories of the past, and the details will be very realistic.
Even more curious, whenever he stimulates the same part of the patient's brain (often without the patient's knowledge), he seems to be able to reproduce the same memory episode in the same detail. Subsequently, a large number of scientists came to the conclusion through a large number of experiments that certain parts of the brain are responsible for the preservation of memory, and everything we experience will be stored in our cerebral cortex, thus forming our memory.
But all of this is wrong!
Wu Lang was slightly stunned when he saw this, took a deep puff of cigarette, flipped the screen of his mobile phone, and continued to look down......
Recently, a scientist took kangaroos as the subject of research and taught them to jump over a small door, and after jumping over them, they were rewarded with food, and if they did not learn to fall into the pool, he decided that all the kangaroos had learned this routine, and then tried to find out where it was stored in the kangaroo's brain.
Scientists used a soldering iron to burn off a part of the kangaroo's brain one by one, and despite the brain damage, the kangaroos still remembered what they were taught and were able to jump over the jumping platform to find food. Lasiri burned more and more brain areas, and every area of the brain was burned by him in turn, but the kangaroos' memory was not affected in the slightest, and he even destroyed most of the kangaroos' brain areas, thus injuring their motor nerves, but the rats could still remember where the food was hiding when they faltered.
There is also an experiment that is even more amazing, the cat's optic nerve is completely cut off, but the cat can still see its own behavior, unaffected, according to the theory that is still accepted by most people, the eye can see because the optic nerve conducts external images to the surface of the cerebral cortex, this cerebral cortex is the part of the reception and interpretation of vision, but the signal line is cut off, why the kitten still has the ability to perform complex visual actions.
Scientists then pointed out that in terms of learning and memory, the brain moves according to the whole, and all parts of the cerebral cortex learn to an equal degree, that is, each part has the same efficiency;
This should be the concept of "holograms". After Wu Lang finished speaking, he returned the phone to Shang Minjie.
"What do you mean?" Shang Minjie asked.
Wu Lang took a puff of his cigarette and said slowly: "The most amazing thing about holograms is that if we tear a holographic photo into pieces and use a laser to irradiate any fragment, we can get a complete image of this item. This means that each point on the hologram is contained in the overall photograph and records information about all other points in the photograph at the same time – the principle of interference and coherence of waves. ”
"All the memories that exist in our minds should exist in the form of this holographic interference wave. In other words, our brains "read" information in a special way, and transform ordinary images into wave interference patterns for storage, and when we call up our memories, the patterns are restored to virtual images.
"The use of interference waves to store memories is surprisingly efficient, as long as a piece of sugar cube space, you can store all the materials in the Library of Congress, the holographic nature of interference waves for us to answer the location of memory, it is not actually located in a certain part of the brain, but all over the brain. ”
Shang Minjie looked at Wu Lang and nodded, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip of tea.
Wu Lang lit a cigarette and said slowly: "And the most important point is that each part contains a complete memory, which perfectly explains the performance of kangaroos in the experiment." ”
"One of the things that scientists haven't understood before is that if we think of brain memory as a computer's hard drive, when we want to find a memory, we need to search for it again and again to narrow it down until we find it, and this process will definitely take time. But in fact, when someone mentions the name of someone we haven't seen for more than a decade and never thought about it during that time, our memories of that person are often instantly evoked, and what is presented in our minds is a vivid image of the other person. If explained by the holographic model, this phenomenon is a distinctive feature of interference waves. ”
Shang Minjie's eyes widened, and she looked at Wu Lang in surprise, as if she was looking at a monster.
"If you look at me like that, then I won't say it. Wu Lang said with a smile.
"Say, say quickly. Shang Minjie hurriedly said at a loss.
Wu Lang nodded and smiled: "There have been scientists who have done more than 700 experiments with salamanders, and each time they cut off the salamander's brain, fiddle with it and then put it back, including putting the brain upside down, cutting it off, cutting it into thin slices, rearranging it, and even stirring it into minced meat." However, no matter how brutally damaged, once the remaining brain is put back into the salamander's body, it reverts to its original state and behaves normally again, believing that memories are indeed scattered throughout the brain. ”
"The brain, a living and warm thing, operates according to the strange world described in quantum theory. Perception arises at a much more fundamental level than matter - the lowest level of quantum, where we cannot see the objects themselves, only their quantum information, and our brains read the holographic interference waves of the external world and create images of the world (all idealistic appearances). ”
We are "resonating" with objects and "synchronizing" them to perceive objects, and if we want to understand the world, we actually have to adjust ourselves to the corresponding frequency, which is the so-called "inspiration" in Confucianism. Moreover, our brain communicates with other parts of the body in the form of holographic waves, and this communication is transmitted to other parts of the body at the same time as non-localization. This explains why we can easily handle very complex overall movements, such as sports that require whole-body coordination – cycling, ice skating, dancing, etc. ”
"Consciousness is a general phenomenon that occurs all over the body, not just in our brains. And memories are not stored in our brains, but exist in the most basic "zero-point energy field" of the external world. The brain is not a storage medium, it is just a retrieval and reading mechanism. Kangaroos whose brains were burned during the experiment can still remember to jump over the springboard to find food because their memories have never been burned, and the remaining brains still have the function of connecting to the zero-point energy field, so as to readjust, align and retrieve their memories. ”
Shang Minjie nodded again and again when she heard this, and looked at Wu Lang without blinking.
"Our human higher cognitive processes are actually the result of interaction with the zero-point energy field. This explains where intuition, creativity, and mysterious "inspiration" come from, which did not exist in the structure of our knowledge before, and why do we suddenly "know"? Just like the formula of gravitation and the formula of mass and energy, they are not simply permutations and combinations of existing knowledge and logical reasoning, they are completely new formulas that appear out of thin air, before they were invented, they did not exist in all human cognition, but they have always existed in the infinite cosmic energy field, and when the brain is tuned to a certain frequency, it can be discovered by this person. ”
After Shang Minjie, Yin Yuting, and Yin Fatzi listened to Wu Lang's words, they all lowered their heads and pondered.
Wu Lang squinted his eyes slightly, a cigarette was in the corner of his mouth, and his whole face was shrouded in smoke, and he didn't know what he was thinking......
