Re: implications of the brain as a quantum computer?

One has to separate the conscious part of the brain from the unconscious part of the brain. The conscious part of the brain only has to think command lines and the body gets up and walks. The real data crunching to make this all possible occurs via the unconscious brain. So if these active or quantum things are occurring, the data crunching would likely occur in the main CPU of the unconscious part of the brain.

The question becomes can the conscious terminal think a command line and expect the core CPU to create the logistics for this to occur? In other words, like walking, manipulating space-time would need unconscious support to do all the data crunching to make this complex affect possible. A good analogy is one needing to run a complex program on their PC, but the PC lacks the computer power to make it possible at a reasonable rate. So one needs to reserve computer time on the mainframe, which is already running many other things. One may be able to run the program periodically, but not always. Other programs would demand their own time making it sporadic. If you look at Superman, if really tones down his unconscious support as mild mannered Clark Kent. When the other programs catch up with there needed core time, he is ready for another round of unconscious support.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
