Conciousness and the Brain

jimbob666 — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 17:06:06 +0000

Just finished reading an awesome book and this quote completely blew me away and I’ve been thinking about it far too much:

consciousness is an emergent property of the brain as a whole, a natural consequence of millions of neurones processing information in parallel. It may seem astounding that something so “physical” as electro-biochemical processes within the brain could produce something so intangible as consciousness, but that is what happens. We just don’t yet understand how.

Uh oh…Here comes PETMAN

Tsar Bomba

	Humanity’s largest explosion was a Soviet nuclear weapon known as ‘Tsar Bomba’. The stats are terrifying, the explosion was 10 times the combined power of all the explosives used in World War II. That is insane.
A part of me would like to see these tests using todays technology, including the filming of it in HD. Or is that just wrong…
