Chapter 45: Yuriko's Secret
What is the self-consciousness of the person? At the moment, no one has made it clear. Some say it's the soul, others say it's the whole brain, and the various theories are inconclusive.
For example, a person accidentally kicked a table leg, and the neurons in the leg transmitted the pain message to the spinal cord.
So, is the spinal cord feeling pain? Of course not, the spinal cord is only an information processing intermediary, and it is the spinal cord that transmits pain information to the cerebral cortex that makes people feel pain.
So, is the cerebral cortex the ultimate essence of consciousness?
No, the cerebral cortex can also be subdivided into a large number of neurons, and only the information processed by these neurons makes people feel pain.
However, neurons only process biocurrents of varying frequencies and intensities and related biological signals.
So at the end of the day, are these biocurrents and signals that make people feel pain?
Could it be that these biocurrents are the ultimate consciousness of man? A group of electric currents will feel pain and scream?
Ultimately, what exactly is the "self" and what is it that feels pain? Scientists also don't understand this kind of problem......
Humans don't know anything about their own bodies. From this, souls, religions, and the like were born. There is no way to confirm whether these claims are true or false.
This kind of question is too round, Yu Yifeng thought about it for a while and then gave up, "Do you have any conjectures?" ”
"Because human beings have never known the nature of self-consciousness, they have not been able to study perfection well, and decades of progress have been stuck here......"
In the past, humans have conducted a large number of human experiments with dying volunteers and various death row inmates, and undoubtedly all of them have failed. During the experiment, their brain waves quickly became disrupted, leading to eventual brain death.
"I'm thinking...... We have a successful example that we might be able to use to make a difference. We're going to find someone like you to see if there's any chance of success. ”
"Just like you, you're a psychic in your own right. Therefore, we suspect that only people with telepathic phenomena can become superhuman. Kelly looked at Yu Yifeng with burning eyes.
"Of course, this conjecture is not necessarily correct, and the coalition government has also experimented with psychic people, and they still failed......"
So the question is, what exactly is the psychic ability and why does it arise?
If there really is a "soul" in the world, there is a better explanation for "self-awareness" and various psychic abilities, and it is not impossible to attribute all kinds of supernatural phenomena to the soul......
But in this way, a new question arises, what is the soul? Can the soul affect matter?
Yu Yifeng got an answer of only three words, "I don't know!" ”
His brows furrowed tightly, he was really a little puzzled, these scientists didn't know the east, and the west didn't know, what else could they know?
But if you think about it, you can't blame them all. As these scientists say, people have made several great strides on the path of natural science, but they have achieved almost nothing in the science of mind......
If human beings want to study their own minds, they must at least achieve more in the life sciences.
Current science cannot prove the existence of the soul, but it must not deny the existence of the soul either. Logically, proving that something exists is as simple as taking out a sample.
To prove that something does not exist, you must search the entire space, but at present, human exploration is limited to a small part of the universe, and little is known about this part.
"But it doesn't matter if the soul is there or not...... The human brain is indeed capable of influencing matter. Dr. Kelly explained.
"The human brain is an electrochemical organ, and bioelectric signals transmit information between brain cells, and a strong magnetic field affects those signals and produces strange visual, tactile and auditory sensations. The electromagnetic fields acting on the human brain can also cause different emotions like fear, nervousness, excitement, etc. ”
"In contrast, the human brain can also emit bioelectricity and electromagnetic waves to the outside world."
This phenomenon can try to explain your psychic abilities. Perhaps, as a superhuman, you are able to emit a unique magnetic field that gives us a feeling of sun-like warmth...... Of course it doesn't have to be a magnetic field, maybe something else. ”
"Magnetic fields are easily shielded, I don't think they are...... Dr. Roman said, waving his hand, "If the soul does exist, maybe it's some other supernatural effect......
When it comes to the topic of metaphysics in general, traditional scientists like Roman don't know what to say.
Only Kelly is an expert in this area, and when it comes to the soul aspect, religion and the like are always involved, which feels very "pseudoscientific".
Yu Yifeng's receptivity is very strong, on the one hand, he expressed his doubts, on the other hand, since there is no better explanation...... Take their word for it......
"So, is there any basis for the claim that people with psychic abilities are more likely to become superhumans?"
"Actually, there is no basis, we guess." Roman shook his head, he had a feeling that he had no face, after studying for so long, they didn't really know anything.
Even Dr. Kelly blushed, in this environment of workaholism, what they did was a bit like a waste of time. They really didn't get any results.
"Because you are a psychic person, we believe that only a psychic can become a superhuman!" Kelly stuck out her tongue, feeling very embarrassed.
"This kind of thing ......" Yu Yifeng scratched the back of his head, this logic is not right, "Do we still have spiritual abilities among our 50,000 people?" ”
"Yes, at least three." Dr. Roman said suddenly.
"One is Calvin in prison, one is Li Wu, an engineer from the Wild Wolf Design Bureau, and one is ...... It's Yuriko. ”
Yu Yifeng's heart moved, and the other two he knew, one was a mysterious "prophet", and the other was a super engineer who helped Ding Yidong build a nuclear bomb, how could Yuriko too?
He had looked at the archives of the moon base and found no problems, could it be that it was hidden?
Dr. Roman also saw Yu Yifeng's confusion, stared at the ceiling with his eyes, and slowly recalled, "Yuriko, poor child, it's been 10 years since I adopted her......
Yuriko was born in a small Japanese town called "Tanabe", and at a very young age, she showed extraordinary abilities.
She is cute-looking, and her every move always wins the hearts of adults. It can be said that she is very well-behaved and abnormal, and she has never made a mistake since she was a child!
But this kind of likable well-being is actually abnormal......
"In fact, when she was a child, she had a unique psychic ability, and that was - to read people's minds!"
"Yes, mind reading...... She can read most people's minds! ”
Mind reading, a terrifying ability, made her wise since she was a child, and her intelligence was a cut above that of her peers. At first, no one felt anything out of the ordinary, even her parents.
They all think that Yuriko's well-behaved behavior is just smarter......
Yuriko's psychic ability is innate, and she may have gotten used to it herself, and she doesn't feel any difference.
She was always able to read what the adults were thinking, so she could avoid mistakes. She will do whatever adults like, and she will not do what adults don't like.
"Her family is in poor condition. Moreover, her father had a strong tendency to domestic violence, and she grew up in this environment......" Roman said with some heaviness.
Yu Yifeng empathizes, it turns out that this girl still has this kind of story, which is really pitiful.
"Adult thoughts, filthy and complex, and she's so young...... Because of mind reading, we don't know what she saw or learned during that time. Perhaps this is what led to her taciturn personality ......"
Dr. Roman suddenly sighed.
"Maybe she's really too smart, too well-behaved, and good-looking. Many people in a place like Japan have a distorted personality...... There are a lot of lolicons.,It should be this word, right? ”
"Anyway, a local gang leader somehow took a fancy to her. Her scumbag father not only didn't protect her, but sold her because of some money......"
Dr. Roman gave a rough idea in a few words. Yu Yifeng faintly felt how much content was hidden in it......
