People are hoping to develop biological computers that can store a large amount of memory. So that would be interesting.
Quote from: Grapes on July 29, 2014, 11:04:41 AMMemory is kinda like data on a hard drive.Technically everything is data. The universe itself has it's own "source code," an infinitely long string of 0s 1s. There has been a lot of research into discovering that source code. With it you could essentially unlock the secrets of the universe.
Memory is kinda like data on a hard drive.

It's still very basic, but they've proven that they can use particles as a means for communication and as the ultimate form of security.

If memories don't decay and stay in place, then they wouldn't be atoms because the atoms decay and are replaced. I take that to mean we have a soul and higher purpose/power.
what is the point of this thread. memories are simply some combination of chemicals and electrical impulses. there's nothing more to it. a hard drive is as mysterious and powerful as a memory is, which is to say it isn't.

Atoms decay over time, but they are never destroyed. At a core level, an atom is always still around. You don't ever "lose" atoms, or gain them. They are simply re-purposed. In that regard, I mean that the universe itself is a living entity. And we are a part of it, much like the cells in our own bodies. But we are simply bound to our level of perspective. Yes, we may have a soul. But we are not distinct in this manner, because we are the universe, and it is us.

I'm not sure what you're reading.

A hard drive bears a lot of similarities to memories. But if you break things down, on the smallest level you can, that data, that information stored in particles and electric impulses, is physical because everything in existence is grounded on the interactions of atomic structures. String theory is the idea that a particle exists with a potential. A long string of what it could be, what it could form, and what it could come out as. And it's been proven in their tests with random outcomes every time.A memory holds more weight than you know. It produces emotions, it produces thoughts, which in turn can translate into you acting based off them in the here and now, which in turn influences the future.The point of this thread, is to step back and look at things in a different potential light.
