Cognition and thinking

Yes, this is outside of the field of Physics.

To quote:



'The individual neurons of the brain coordinate to create a unified sense of a coherent mind, analogous to the social organization displayed in a colony of ants.'





On a related note,

Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid

Highly recommended reading.





This point shall be stressed again. GEB is a magnificent book that screams to be read. 




Comments are always welcome.
