Our Consciousness Might Be Electromagnetic
from the how-it-all-works dept
Some researchers have come up with the idea that our conscious minds may simply be an electromagnetic field. While there have been many studies showing how different nerves fire to make things happen, there aren't many good theories on what ties it all together into "consciousness". Not everyone agrees with this theory, of course, but it's certainly worth investigating more fully. If you want to get into the nitty gritty of it all, there's a whole paper on the topic (in pdf format).
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
