| Several days ago there was a long youtube documental (transplanting memories) in which there was an interesting hypothesis. According to one interviewed scientist memories are stored as part of a electromagnetic field produced by the brain and the heart. The heart's electromagnetic field is several times stronger than that of the brain and memories are somehow stored or trapped into that field. |

| The really interesting thing about this phenomena (assuming it is true) is that materialists assume that memories are stored as some sort of neural net. These are statistical in nature, and the encoding would be unique to every individual - so no meaningful information could be passed from individual to individual. Clearly memories can't be literally stored in the electromagnetic field - for the reason Paul has given - I don't like a loose, vague way of discussing serious scientific questions (not referring to you, caranax, but the program you quoted)!

Not true and there are two reasons why according to Sheldrake and little old me. Firstly, every cell in the body is a transmitter and we are made up of trillions of cells. Secondly, we do not have one Brain we have two, although some people have been found who have no brain in the head. Remember the Ancient Greeks believed they thought from the heart. We believe we think from the head. I suggest this is just a cultral bias brought about by conditioning. Is Your Brain Really Necessary? The link above deals with the case of a guy who had no Brain lived in England and graduated with a Maths degree. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/08/23/he...33600&emc=eta1 The second link shows we have a second brain in the gut and it is this brain that gives rise to the so-called sixth sense. Whatever folks enjoy! There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in our philosophy. William Shakespeare |
