The lecture by Professor Anil Seth in number 7 is fascinating.

Indeed our brain is bigger than the sky and can accommodate all the galaxies and the universe.

Someone said our mind or brain is infinite, and the planet earth is too small and confined,

and this is the reason why humans are restless 

no matter what they try to do with their limited life spans.

Anil Seth가 정말 그렇게 믿는다면 나 같은 무식자가 할 말이 없어요.

그러나 우주가 어느 만큼 크냐는 아무도 모르는데 어떻게 뇌가 그 보다 크다고 말 할 수 있나요.

저의 논리로는 이해가 안 되네요. 혹시 제가 모르는 뜻이 위의 Seth글에 숨어 있나 해서 형에게 물어 보는 겁니다.

형이 올리는 글들을 저는 항상 읽으려 노력합니다. 감사합니다.

백효형,

형의 interest에 감사합니다.

Einstein said what he and humans have discovered is perhaps less than one thousandth of

what has not been discovered about this universe.

It's been said the universe of the human brain is much bigger than Einstein's universe

in its complexity and the extent and boundaries of its mystery,( possibly being equal to

the mysterious universe we were born into).

When I said our brain is bigger than the universe we see, I was also referring to a book,

"Against An Infinite Horizon" subtitled "The Finger of God In Our Everyday Lives"

by Ronald Rolheiser who stated that we humans live with infinite spirits in a finite situation,

which is the underlying cause for their never-ending restlessness.

Dr. Shin,

I am only a student, and please don't expect any satisfactory answer from me.

The last thing I want to do is to give you an impression that I know something you don't.

We can only explore things together on the subject we are interested in.

Thank you again for asking the pertinent question, which I answered as honestly as I could.

한중형:

에이, 그렇게 신경 쓰게 헤드려서 죄송해요, ㅎ.ㅎ.ㅎ. 실은 내 두뇌가 너무 작아서 생각을 너무 좁게 한다는 것일 뿐.

제가 읽지 못하는 글들을 올려 주셔서 고마워요.

The elastic brain: The most important thinking habit nobody taught you

Rene Descartes said, “I think, therefore I am.”  The brain are becoming “I” as 

new knowledge of the brain enlightens us. The mind, consciousness, unconsciusness

 are probably a function of the brain; consequences of neurophysiological phenomena.
