    On the program "Though the Wormhole" narrated by Morgan Freeman on the Science channel, scientists said that your body creates 10 billion new cells every day as the old ones die off. So essentially you are a totally different person every ten years. So my question is, why do you you retain memories of events that happened to you from say forty years ago, especially if there is no point to life because there is no life after death?

    Before that question can be answered we need to answer the question;
    What are memories and exactly how are they formed and stored?

    Until we understand the actual mechanism of memory, I'm afraid your question will remain unanswered.

    How do you know there is no life/continued existence after death, have you died?

    through fusion and fractal compression of wave forms. the memory is an electrical signal and either sits around in the field surrounding and permeating the host or it compresses as data integration back into the vacuum through the person. the problem is that blockage can cause deterioration and de-evolution.

    What a lot of words that say absolutely nothing.

    I'm not talking about whatever quasi mystical mumbo-jumbo you just posted, but an actual medical understanding of memory function and formation.

    wow...are you serious..then i would say you have no idea what you are talking about and you have no basis in any field as a wave form is the fundamental level of space time, but I would like to see you try and prove how it is "quasi mumbo jumbo"...starting now...

    Well then maybe you could be so kind as to interpret for me and explain where in the brain memory is stored.
    how it is stored and what processes and chemical reactions are involved?
    What neurotransmitters are involved?
    does memory formation cause actual physical changes in the neurons?
    etc
    etc.

    Why don't you explain how what you originally posted relates to actual brain structures and neuronal activity.

    I'm not talking about any type of quantum relations and such related ideas, just the simple physiology of it, which coincides much more with the OP's question relating to the formation of billions of new cells a day than anything you offered.

    that is a lot right there to discuss. what i'm talking about which is at the smaller level, smaller than chemical reactions although chemical reactions do take place, where the energy is first moving. memories are stored all over the body as any neuron did you know there is a standing column of waves surrounding and permeating all matter? all neurons have memory storage capabilities. memory formation, i.e. wave integration changes how the rna reads dna during transcription. what happens to the wave changes the structure

    and the supporting documentation and research for the above is where?
    You are talking in the area of theoretical physics with an emphasis on theoretical.
    I'm always open to new ideas and theories, but don't expect me to just except what you say as fact because you declare it to be so.
    I want to see the supporting research and documentation please.

    its everywhere. in biology, physics, i think it maybe over your head though, but first you have to understand that no university, scientist has any duty to teach you, explain to you or present to you or the media any new information that is discoveredt or how to interpret i. only those who make funding contributions are eligible for first hand results, and that is not debatable as all corporations have duties only to shareholders and not the general public.

    secondly, hth do you think you are? is it at all possible that I could know something you do not? I am not sure what I am willing to share because your first impression was not very warming...

    this is so basic its scary. first answer this so you are telling me that it is a fact that there is not a standing column of waves surrounding all matter? are you telling me that is theoretical? are you telling me that for there to be atomic bonds that the photons are not shared by the particles and that electrons are not surrounding the particles? from what i have "heard" all matter has a magnetic field of somekind which allows the particles to cohere. are you telling me this is not so?

    So basically you are saying you can not provide any supporting research or documentation for your ideas, right?
    The easiest way to shut me up and get me to acquiesce would be to provide such supporting documentation.
    Any fool can claim any damn thing that suits their fancy. But if it is tested and verified to be true it's no longer foolishness is it? That's all I'm asking of you, provide some supporting documentation, please.

    It has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not I feel "smarter" than you. It's known as providing support to your ideas. Pretty common requirement in the scientific world, isn't it?

    It's not "over my head" but when I try to convey ideas and principles to others I generally try to use language and illustrations that are easily understood rather than a hodge-podge of impressive sounding terms strung together in the hope that the other person will just say "oooh, aaaww he must know what he's talking about because of the words he used."
    Sorry, I'm not suckered in that easily.

    So again, please provide some supporting research or even recognized theoretical models for me to investigate rather than just your interpretation of it. I like checking things out for myself.

    I just did, will you answer the question? you seem to be found wanting in this area of information, so if you are avoiding answering the questions i will understand why...simple answer the questions. wth are you talking about? this is simple, i'm not anything new, you just don't know as much as you think or you have not been able to integrate several schools of thought and maybe be stuck at biology. you are not even understanding what I am saying right now, if not just say so...this is science's interpretation not mine...you don't know what im claiming cuz you don't even understand what I said..bottom line...

    what about this is unclear:

    "this is so basic its scary. first answer this so you are telling me that it is a fact that there is not a standing column of waves surrounding all matter? are you telling me that is theoretical? are you telling me that for there to be atomic bonds that the photons are not shared by the particles and that electrons are not surrounding the particles? from what i have "heard" all matter has a magnetic field of somekind which allows the particles to cohere. are you telling me this is not so?"

    I sure will present as soon as we find some common ground with the basics. do you understand the things i'm saying or do you not?

    I didn't say there is no life after death. I said "if" there is no life after death.

    my ideas?

    http://www.utexas.edu/tmm/npl/mineralogy/science_of_minerals/electric_magnet_properties.html

    "Magnetism and electricity are closely related, and are regarded by physicists as two expressions of a single force, called "electromagnetism". Although only minerals that are strongly attracted to a magnetic field are considered to be magnetic, all matter has some magnetic properties, even though it may be too small to be detectable. This is because all matter is made up of moving charged particles (electrons and protons), whose motion sets up magnetic fields."

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetism

    "Electromagnetism is one of the four fundamental interactions in nature. The other three are the strong interaction, the weak interaction and gravitation. Electromagnetism is the force that causes the interaction between electrically charged particles; the areas in which this happens are called electromagnetic fields.
    Electromagnetism is responsible for practically all the phenomena encountered in daily life and virtual life, with the exception of gravity. Ordinary matter takes its form as a result of intermolecular forces between individual molecules in matter. Electromagnetism is also the force which holds electrons and protons together inside atoms, which are the building blocks of molecules. This governs the processes involved in chemistry, which arise from interactions between the electrons inside and between atoms"

    was that simple enough? how is that mumbo jumbo? if you want to accept science as your lord and savior, then perhaps you need to be more familiar with all of its parts. now are we on common ground and can i move on or are you still unclear?

    Simple, provide some supporting documentation for your ideas as expressed in this thread. Saying "it's everywhere" is NOT providing supporting documentation. I want links to articles, research papers, books, shows, whatever beyond just what you are typing.
    I'm not stuck at biology, but that is the realm that the OP's question resides in, do you not understand that?

    I'm thinking maybe you are not able to differentiate between different schools of thought and different layers of matter/energy and have them all jumbled up in your head into a chaotic maelstrom from which you are trying to make sense.

    And in answer to your question, no I don't understand what your talking about. Not because I'm ignorant or uneducated but rather because it is nonsensical. Try rewording in a way that will make sense to someone other than yourself and THEN maybe there would be some common ground.

    What the heck are you referring to when you say "photons"? are you talking about a quanta of light? Or do you mean protons. It is the electrons in the outer shell that provide the bond between atoms. Unless of course you are actually trying to referr to sub-atomic particles, and if so why the hell mention electrons and magnetic fields around matter? Maybe you are not using the proper terms for what you are trying to convey.

    Honestly, what you have been posting makes no fucking sense dude.
